In the UK and across the world, women own less, earn less and have less power and influence in decisions that affect their own lives and wider society. Levels of violence against women and girls are extremely high and gender stereotypes that limit both women and men still pervade our homes, schools, workplaces and media. Our Genders Futures initiative is creating a new gender innovation eco-system that will bring together gender equality and social innovation movements to expose and challenge the root causes of these gender inequalities, and produce credible and inspiring alternatives We are producing up-to date evidence on key current challenges and opportunities and a practical gender innovation framework for action. We are also developing dedicated innovation support for existing and emerging gender equality initiatives working on a range of issues from money, power, education to arts and culture.
