Outreach

By working within women’s movements, civil society coalitions and multi-stakeholder country review processes, and through field studies, research, writings and capacity development initiatives, PLD influences and shapes social policy.

Through engagement within and with government appointed committees, human rights institutions public discourse and the courts, PLD has contributed to law reforms relating to sexual offences, decriminalisation of homosexuality, adultery, measures for restorative justice for victims of witch hunting, among others. At the international level, PLD’s advocacy seeks to secure compliance of domestic law with human rights standards, as well as to bring Southern perspectives to bear on, formulate and advance women’s rights concerns.
