About Us
Girls in Global is a pioneering non-profit organisation redefining leadership in international affairs through gender mainstreaming. We champion the voices of women and gender-diverse communities, emphasising their vital contributions to diplomacy, negotiations, and global leadership. Our philosophy is simple: Why fight for a seat at the table when we can build our own? While we work towards embedding gender equality within existing systems, we also question why marginalised groups should have to fight for a seat at a table designed without them in mind. Instead, we advocate for creating new spaces where women and gender-diverse individuals don’t just occupy seats—they lead, innovate, and shape the policies that govern us all.
We apply an intersectional approach, recognising the complex layers of oppression that affect marginalised groups. By championing the inclusion of women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with health conditions or impairments, and neurodivergent people, we work toward equitable participation in global governance.
Girls in Global is not just a movement; it is a platform for transformative action and inclusion.

OUR MISSION
HOW WE WORK
Our purpose is to lead a paradigm shift in international affairs towards inclusive and equitable governance. We aim to ensure that gender equality and the voices of marginalised communities are central in shaping global policies, empowering women and gender-diverse individuals to lead in decision-making.
At Girls in Global, we aim to revolutionise global governance by integrating intersectional approaches to gender equality into the structures of international diplomacy and leadership. Through advocacy, strategic partnerships, and grassroots initiatives, we amplify the voices and contributions of women and gender-diverse individuals, ensuring their meaningful participation in the design and implementation of global policies.
Guided by our core principles—collaboration, creativity, well-being, and trust, and our core values of intersectionality, equity, inclusion and decolonisation—we take a community-led approach to our work. We prioritise partnerships that align with our values, creating spaces for innovation and fostering a supportive environment where diverse voices lead and thrive.
