Advancing gender equality and ending violence against women and girls takes more than a single solution — it takes a strategy that works across systems, stories, and society. We take a holistic approach that combines research, education, advocacy, and communication to turn evidence into action – shaping policy, shifting narratives, and driving lasting change.

Key Information

We provide services to organisations, leaders, and teams looking to drive positive change. Whether that’s through workplace equality initiatives and training, research and evidence-building projects, strategic or creative campaigns, or policy and advocacy work, we’re here to help.

So what do we do?

Violence against women and girls and gender inequality are two of the most widespread issues of our time and impact us all. These issues are complex – so our response is comprehensive. We provide strategic advice and holistic solutions to address these issues, working across research, advocacy, training, education, and communication to help make change stick.

Areas We Work

Our work spans across interconnected areas of research, evaluation, policy, advocacy, workplace equality training and creative communications. Our integrated approach helps ensure that knowledge doesn’t just stay in reports, but reaches the people and places where it can make the most impact.

  • Research and Evidence

    At EQI, we contribute to building the global evidence-base for preventing violence against women and girls. We work with our partners and clients to conduct research and evaluations in Australia, across the Asia and Pacific regions, and beyond, prioritising robust, ethical, survivor-centred, and participatory methods to address key research gaps.

    As an intersectional-feminist organisation headquartered in the Global North, EQI is committed to meaningful collaborations with partners in the Global South and with Indigenous communities and organisations across Australia. We seek to share power and actively apply decolonising, inclusive research practices.

    And finally, because it breaks our soul when valuable research findings wind up untouched and unused, EQI brings together research and creative communications, strategically disseminating research evidence so it can be used to strengthen prevention policy and practice.

  • Policy, Advocacy and Leadership

    Through strategic engagement, thought leadership, and advocacy, EQI helps shape funding, policy, and practice on preventing violence against women and girls, both in Australia and internationally. We provide advice on policy reform, National Action Plans, monitoring frameworks, and whole-of-government approaches to prevention.

    We work with partners to advocate for greater investment in evidence-based, feminist-informed programming and play a convening role across sectors and social movements. By establishing regional and global advocacy agendas, we support mechanisms that accelerate investment, drive adoption of coordinated prevention strategies, and ensure that evidence reaches the policymakers and donors who can help turn it into effective action worldwide.

  • Creative Communications

    At EQI, we use strategic communications to make sure evidence reaches the right people – and create campaigns that educate and inspire.

    Bringing together expertise in gender, intersectional feminism, storytelling, and design, we produce bold multimedia content and media-based interventions that change hearts and minds, increase research uptake, and advocate for prevention.

    From stories, film, and shareable memes to illustrations, infographics, e-learning tools, and immersive experiences – we translate information into creative, accessible content that sparks global feminist conversations and ignites social change to end violence against women and girls.

  • Workplace Equality

    EQI provides holistic support and education to help organisations and individuals become leaders for social change. We offer strategic advice and technical support across gender equality, VAWG prevention, and Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (DIB).

    Our training and support helps organisations build inclusive cultures, meet legal and ethical obligations, strengthen staff engagement and drive productivity, innovation and impact. We focus on practical, meaningful approaches—addressing psychosocial hazards and fostering respect and belonging, not just ticking boxes.

    We also provide services to embed inclusion across organisations, including policy and systems reviews, strategy development, leadership support, diagnostic assessments, gender impact assessments, and measurement—supporting workplaces where everyone feels valued and supported.

Testimonials

 Equality Institute’s GIA training was a game-changer for my organisation. The practical case study, insightful content, and engaging facilitation empowered me to apply a gender lens effectively. The interactive approach and thorough discussions ensured a comprehensive understanding. Highly recommended for transformative gender analysis!

Equality Institute is a global leader in the area of promoting gender equality and preventing violence against women and girls. They bring together high-level technical skills and their work with us over the years has always been excellent.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

When we approached Emma and her team with a vision, we wanted equality education that was impactful, innovative and could shift the hearts and minds of our team members. Luckily for us, Emma and her team shared our vision and were up for the challenge. It has been a pleasure to work with Equality Institute in creating this ground-breaking education. MECCA team members have described the content as beautiful, thought-provoking, considered and deeply moving. It is already changing hearts and minds as we had hoped.

 

Inclusion & Diversity Lead, MECCA

In all my engagements with Dr Fulu and Equality Institute I have found them to be professional, collaborative and a pleasure to work with. They bring a deep and comprehensive understanding of primary prevention of violence against women to their work and extensive experience in national, regional and global contexts which is hard to match. They bring sensitivity, flexibility and innovation to their work and a genuine intersectional analysis and understanding. I can’t recommend Dr Fulu and EQI highly enough.

 

Our Watch

They have an ability to manage complex and politically sensitive projects with diplomacy, and work in a collaborative way which promotes cross-learning between EQI and national partners. Their staff have a deep knowledge of global best practice and evidence on VAWG and they provide unparalleled strategic advice and support. They are extremely well respected in the gender and VAWG field globally and in the Pacific, have strong networks and are therefore excellent at building bridges and thinking strategically about partnerships and the direction of the VAWG prevention field.

 

UN Women

EQI is underpinned by feminist principles in the way they approach their work and the way in which they conduct ourselves. They are committed to listening to, respecting, and supporting the diverse voices in our field and the communities with which we work. And EQI actively applies understandings of intersectionality in their work and aim to have diversity reflected in their workforce.

 

Wellspring Philanthropic Fund

There are few who can match Dr Fulu’s sustained and significant contributions to gender equality and the prevention of violence against women and girls worldwide. Dr Fulu and the EQI team bring a wealth of expertise in research, policy advocacy and program design.

 

Coffey International Development

Working with Equality Institute was certainly a rewarding experience and has further enhanced my capacity as a researcher in the area of GBV as I was learning from the very best in the field. For me I felt that, while I was helping EQI to get the SASA! baseline off the ground, as a researcher EQI were also interested to build my capacity and gave me the opportunity to learn a lot. They ensured I was included in all aspects of the research, not only in organising the logistic and fieldwork components but to also be a part of the analysis which was an area I was interested in.

 

PNG Researcher

Equality Institute are an innovative group of dynamic individuals who provide high quality work. I can attest to their ability to successfully implement projects and deliver on project requirements. They undertake work with integrity, in accordance with their company values. Equality Institute is a pleasure to work with.

 

Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, Sexual Violence Research Initiative

The workshop on decolonising violence against women and girls research was really impactful. It raised many questions – not only how we think about partnerships but also act on this thinking in our day to day encounters – in an environment were there is a structural power in balance by funding coming too often through to Global North researchers like me. I kept on having these discussions with my colleagues throughout SVRI 2022 and later. They definitely influenced the start of new projects and partnership afterwards. So a huge thank you for challenging us and our thinking.
