What we do

Engender has a vision for a Scotland in which women and men have equal opportunities in life, equal access to resources and power, and are equally safe and secure from harm.

Engender is a policy organisation and through our research and analysis we aim to make women’s inequality visible, and persuade those with power to make positive changes to services, policy, regulation, practices, and laws that negatively affect women.

Our Gender Matters Roadmap sets out the steps we think are needed to bring women's equality closer to being a reality. We also work on specific policy areas such as social security, abortion and women's unpaid work. You can find all of our briefings, research papers, and consultation responses in publications.

We also work to bring women together in a range of ways to tell their stories, and influence decision makers. We hold regular events, host women's writing on our blog and host On the Engender, Scotland's feminist policy podcast.

We also offer support to organisations and local campaign groups. We're proud to be a membership organisation and our members include women's and equalities organisations, voluntary groups, and a huge network of individuals across Scotland. You can find out more about joining here.
