Building on Internews’ Women’s Initiative launched in 2015, the Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Strategy is designed to improve Internews programs and internal governance to challenge discriminatory gender norms and advance equality across gender identities.

This strategy identifies how Internews’ guiding principles should be reflected in its programmatic approach and activities, as well as in the day-to-day office work and internal policy and practice. In both arenas, Internews aims to undertake actions that transform relationships of power to create a world where everyone can communicate freely and have a voice in their future, where freedom of expression and access to information are enjoyed by all.
