Issue 85 – August 2025
At Practical Action, working with women and addressing gender inequality is fundamental to everything we do. In this issue of Small World we share examples of our commitment to understanding how systems can be changed to better meet women’s needs, reflect their views and support their lives and well-being. We also share how we work with men, to engage and work constructively with them to challenge assumptions, prejudices, and behaviours. Because when women thrive, communities thrive—and that’s a future worth fighting for.
