IUCN Gender & Equity Strategy

The IUCN Gender & Equity Strategy aims to promote fairness and inclusion within conservation efforts by recognizing and addressing gender inequalities and social disparities. It emphasizes involving diverse groups—especially marginalized communities—in decision-making, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs met. The strategy fosters equitable access to resources and opportunities, integrating gender and social considerations into policies and projects. Overall, it seeks to make conservation more just, inclusive, and effective by valuing everyone's contributions and reducing disparities that can hinder environmental progress.
