About us
Who we are
Our vision is a society free from sexism and violence against women and girls. We campaign for systemic change so that women can enjoy their rights as enshrined in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. We exist to tackle the root causes of sex inequality.
Our education programme works to end sexual harassment, sexist language and gender stereotyping in schools and colleges. We conduct research, provide training and resources, and run a national award scheme recognising institutions taking action.
Our commercial sexual exploitation programme works with survivors, policy makers and practitioners to combat commercial sexual exploitation. We provide the Secretariat for the UK Parliament’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Commercial Sexual Exploitation and A Model For Scotland.
Our culture and values
Everything we do is grounded in our shared values.
Feminist – We are a feminist organisation that recognises and actively works against discrimination.
Collectivism – We are compassionate and embrace our shared responsibility to support one another, stay connected, share knowledge, and contribute to collective efforts. We are committed to collaborating with other experts and working to amplify the voices of survivors.

Professionalism – We are a passionate team of experts motivated to deliver high quality, evidence-based campaigns with integrity.
Ambitious – We are bold and ambitious for change in society. We are also ambitious for our people, who we support to develop and thrive.
