International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA) was founded in 1985 with the goal of defending and advancing the rights of diverse women and girls in Australia and internationally.
IWDA works in partnership with 26 women-led organisations in Asia and the Pacific, as well as part of alliances to advance gender equality. IWDA also contributes to global feminist movements to realise a truly equal, just and sustainable future for all.
“Together we are powerful. Feminist movements, like the #MeToo movement, have driven transformative change for diverse women throughout history. IWDA invests in the power of movements, creating real change in our region and the world.”
Bettina Baldeschi, CEO
