The EQUAL Mission
Purposeful connections, global impact.
As more communities around the world come online, EQUAL aims to give historically marginalized voices a seat at the table, ensuring that digital access translates into influence and equitable participation. We aim to bridge global divides in resources, leadership, and representation, connecting high and low-income countries, individuals and organisations.
01
GOAL
EQUAL aims to foster connections between advocates, activists, academia, private industry, and voluntary and community organizations to drive impactful changes in global health and gender equality.
​
Thinking outside the box will push unlikely partnerships to develop, grow, and produce innovative solutions to the world's most pressing health challenges. ​
02
VISION
EQUAL will act as a catalyst and convener, driving forward innovative leadership, policy changes, and actionable programs to fill the growing gaps in funding priorities. We aim to bring actors from all sectors and locations from across the world to collaborate.
​
The ultimate goal is to consistently bring future generations into a world where this work is no longer critically necessary.
03
NEED
​The shuttering of USAID, the fall of Roe v. Wade, the crushing of the #WomenLifeFreedom movement, humanitarian crises in the DRC, Gaza and Ukraine, famine in Sudan, and more, have demonstrated the stark health inequalities which disproportionately affect minority groups. Growing authoritarianism from the US administration has resulted in nearly 200 words (including women and gender equality) being banned from federal grants.
The women's health equity movement needs a purpose-built, curated platform to drive forward solutions, beyond the ads, noise, and endless scrolling of existing options. ​
04
THE PATH
This platform will be funded exclusively by people committed to it's mission. Small value donations from supporters around the world and angel investors will support the bulk of our seed funding, and Membership fees will support the ongoing maintenance of our community.

Updates will be shared on our Fiscal Transparency page.
