Towards Centring Feminism and Decoloniality
We adopt a feminist and intersectional approach as the epistemological basis for our analysis and the development of our programmes.
The purpose of this strategy is to guide DDP’s adoption and strengthening of a structured approach to Gender Equality and Diversity Inclusion, corresponding to the needs of Human Rights Defenders, DDP’s collaborators and partner organisations that work to support Human Rights Defenders, and DDP internal policies, strategies and staff capacity needs.
We will do this by learning to analyse our field, programs and activities through a gender and intersectional lens, and supporting knowledge production and development of gender and culturally sensitive and appropriate initiatives.
