WHY? 
Why work with gender equality, gender mainstreaming, masculinities and diversity? 

Whether a multinational corporation, small company, tech start-up, innovation incubator, University, organization, municipality, or government - understanding gender & diversity will make you better at what you do.

Understanding the benefits of gender and diversity gives businesses a competitive edge, increases innovative and creative advantages, creates a better work environment where people thrive, makes companies more attractive to both employees and customers (including prevention of #MeToo/work environment problems) strengthens your brand, and increases productivity. And remember, gender equality & diversity are not zero-sum-games - they also increase profitability and economic growth. 

For nations, governments, government agencies and municipalities it will grow your GDP, help economic, social, environmental and peace developments, increase stability, improve public health and education sectors, and lower rates of violence and crime.
It will both save and make money, allowing for better services and lives for all citizens.  

What´s not to like? 
A more reasonable question would be, how could you afford NOT to work with these tools? 
We look forward to hearing from you.

HOW?
By learning from good examples & best practices, 
we reach results faster & easier.
 

- You want more diversity in leadership positions in your company, but don´t know how to get there?  
We will show you how.

- You want to gender mainstream your organization, but don´t know how, or where to begin?
We understand. And we can help.

- You don´t know exactly what the term "masculinities" means, or how this knowledge can be used as crime and violence prevention? (Or promote UNSCR 1325, Women, Peace & Security, or work against extremism/terrorism.) 
We´d love to hold a workshop for you. 

- You want to create a national/global campaign to raise awareness/change norms,
but aren´t sure how to reach or communicate with the target audience?
We would love to show you how.

It always seems impossible - until it´s done.
