The Feminist Task Force works to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment as central to poverty eradication at the local and global levels. It does this by partnering with rural and grassroots women, women’s rights organisations, socially excluded communities and key strategic civil society organisations around the world to raise the voices of women and advocate at both the local and global arenas.
