European Initiative for Gender Inclusive Democracy
Reinforcing Democracies Through Gender Equality
When democracy weakens, gender equality is the first to regress. Research shows women’s rights are a key measure of democratic health. That’s why EIGID works to embed a gender perspective at all levels of society from schools to ministries to workplaces.
ABOUT US
EIGID (European Initiative for Gender Inclusive Democracy) is an international non-profit organization based in Geneva.​

We counter the democratic backlash by placing gender equality at the heart of democratic life.
We empower people, collaborate with governments and institutions, and design tools that make societies more inclusive, participatory, and resilient.

Sharing what works, so others can adapt and replicate.
We produce open-access toolkits and research based on field experience, to help actors everywhere build gender-inclusive democracies.
“During the workshop organized by EIGID I learnt a lot of subjects like good governance and good democracy, that helped me to choose leaders in our women groups and our Party leaders”
