What is Gender Justice? 

The Global Fund for Women defines Gender Justice as “systemic redistribution of power, opportunities, and access for people of all genders through the dismantling of harmful structures including patriarchy, homophobia, and transphobia.”

To this, the Battered Women’s Support Services adds a decolonial and intersectional, anti-oppression feminist approach.

Gender Justice is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about equality. More fundamentally, it points towards new ways of liberating our thinking about ourselves and each other.
