About IGLI

Since 2016, the Inclusive Global Leadership Initiative (IGLI) has advanced research, education, and programs aimed at strengthening the work of feminist activists fighting for democracy, peace, and human rights around the world.

Through our convenings, cross-sector collaborations, research, and community programs, we equip activists, students, academics, policymakers, and the broader public to tackle the interconnected crises of our time.

Convenings - Learning, building networks, and strategic connections.

Education + Training - Building global movements for peace and democracy.

Research - Connecting movements and scholarship.

Theory of Change

Guiding Understandings

  • Our current systems prioritize militarized security, extraction and capital at the expense of the collective wellbeing of people and planet.

  • These same systems will never produce solutions for a more peaceful, secure, just and sustainable world.

  • Feminism is a strategic lens through which we can observe systems of harm and violence, make connections and imagine alternative futures.

  • Global feminist movements and activists are already imagining, experimenting with and fighting for alternate realities.
