Through evidence, advocacy, and effective communication, we make the case that investing in girls, women, and gender equality is not only the right thing to do, but also the smart thing to do. We collaborate with a wide range of partners to fuel our advocacy. We created the Deliver for Good campaign in line with this ethos. A global coalition that applies a gender lens to the Sustainable Development Goals, Deliver for Good reframes girls and women as drivers of progress and brings hundreds of organizations together across sectors and issues to promote increased investment in gender equality. Recognizing the urgent needs of girls and women in humanitarian settings, we also work with local and global organizations to put gender equality and womens sexual and reproductive health front and center during emergencies and their aftermath.

We collate the latest data and information and translate them into clear-sighted messages to build the case for prioritizing gender equality and the health and rights of girls and women. And when the data doesnt exist, we call for more attention to overlooked topics. We focus on what works, using advocacy grounded in evidence to shift policies and drive investments. We are persistent advocates, speaking up for girls and women in every setting. As a member of the worlds first Gender Equality Advisory Council of a G7 Presidency, we helped G7 nations look at every priority issue through a gender lens. Were advisors to governments, corporations, the UN, and civil society organizations alike, helping shape policies and programs that impact girls and women. We contribute to key coalitions, campaigns, working groups, and task forces including Every Woman Every Child, Unilever Sustainability Council, Solve at MIT, Equal Measures 2030, Global Partnership for Education, She Decides, the MenEngage Alliance, and The Frontline Health Workers Coalition. Our roster is ever-growing and ever-adapting to the needs of girls and women. We connect people, ideas, and resources to drive solutions for girls and women.

Our humanitarian advocacy provides direct support to women-focused civil society organizations, as women are often overlooked leaders during emergencies and in their aftermath. We strengthen their voices through training and speaking opportunities, connecting them to the global and national conversations that affect their work and lives. In our pursuit of womens health and rights in every setting, Women Deliver guides the humanitarian sector to deliver the strongest response for girls and women.
