More about services

A Transformative Approach

We believe in addressing the root causes of inequality and discrimination.  We leverage our research expertise, academic affiliations and global network to amplify the work of advocates and organizations and make the experiences of marginalized communities visible to policymakers and thought leaders.  

Built-in Equity

Our staff, partners and stakeholders are diverse; representative of the populations we work with; and essential partners in the development of research designs and execution.

ISSUE Areas

Our expertise is broad in scope and intersectional.

Disability Rights

  • School Violence and Bullying
  • Access to Justice


15 percent of the global population lives with some form of disability, according to the World Health Organization.  Global research shows that due to social and environmental barriers, persons with disabilities are at increased risk of experiencing violence and are more likely to have limited access to justice.

Gender Equality

  • Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
  • Gender-based violence


Women, girls and other gender and sexual minorities, including those with disabilities, often face barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health services due to stigma and discrimination.   These same groups are also more vulnerable to gender-based violence due to intersecting forms of discrimination that involve gender and sexuality.

Inclusive Development

  • Political Participation
  • Intersectional Approaches


 Inclusive development is defined as a “rights-based process that promotes equality and the participation of the largest possible section of society, especially groups that face discrimination and exclusion. Inclusive development ensures that persons with disabilities are recognized as rights-holding equal members of society, who are engaged and contributing to a development process for all.” (UNDG, 2011).

Research Study & Background Paper: School violence and BUllying Against Learners with Disabilities
