About EQUALS Partnership

​

EQUALS Partners play a valuable role in achieving digital gender equality. Each partner lends its own expertise, knowledge and capacity to this innovative movement – coordinated through a global action plan that leverages partners’ strengths.

Our partners include organizations from civil society, academic institutions, international organizations, private sector companies and governments. We are not able to accept individuals as partners at this time.

• Volunteering staff resources – technical, marketing, communication, research, etc.;
