Welome to the Global Institute for Women's Leadership (GIWL) chaired and founded by the Hon. Julia Gillard AC – the only woman to have served as Prime Minister of Australia – in 2018. GIWL (pronounced “jewel”) aims to overcome a disconnect between much of the current activity in the diversity and inclusion world, and what research evidence shows is truly effective.
We bring together rigorous research, practice and advocacy to better understand and address the causes of workplace gender inequality and the lack of gender diversity in leadership positions across sectors and countries. Progress on gender equality is not just slow—in some places it is reversing.
The goal is to break down silos between sectors, nations and approaches and create a community of people focused on advancing gender equality in the workplace and beyond. We seek to bridge the gap between those who generate evidence, and those who wish to use it, and to amplify existing effective practices and solutions being applied in different countries across the globe.
GIWL has three guiding principles: Research - drawing together existing findings and undertaking new studies; Advocacy and engagement - bringing together experts and stakeholders from across the world; Practice – Translating research into evidence-based policy, practice, and training
