Gender Action was established in 2002. It is the only organization dedicated to promoting gender justice and women’s rights in all International Financial Institution (IFI) investments, such as those of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund – two of the world’s largest public sources of development financing. Gender Action aims to ensure that women and men equally participate in and benefit from all IFI investments. It seeks to hold IFIs accountable to promote and not undermine women’s, men’s, girls’, boys’, and sexual minorities’ human rights in all investments, including structural adjustment, climate finance, infrastructure, extractive, food security, credit, health and education, and policies ranging from safeguards to gender.
