ABOUT GLOBAL POLICY REVIEW

As a brainchild of International Women’s Initiative (IWI), and the successor to Global Legal Review, Global Policy Review has been established as a means to analyse laws and policies impacting women’s rights and pave the way for a more egalitarian society. We are a team of dedicated and passionate remotely-based volunteers, striving towards our common vision of equality and gender justice. Our work predominantly focuses on raising awareness of women’s rights issues across the globe through policy and legal research, reports and lobbying efforts. We aim to not only educate the international community on the status of women’s rights abuse, but also to empower and support those women who wish to seek justice and accountability through governance and legal mechanisms. The evidence-based Policy Briefs Division seeks to objectively examine laws and policies including through data, analyse their potential impact on women’s rights in the region and provide subsequent policy recommendations.
