Gender Justice

This document focuses on the central components of IR’s Gender Justice Policy based on an Islamic framework. It outlines the organisation’s commitments to gender justice in all our humanitarian, development and advocacy work and our internal processes and procedures. Standing up for gender justice is a priority for IR because of its centrality to upholding human dignity, which is at the heart of everything we do.
