CREA - Feminist Human Rights

A fearless, interrogative, colorful, edgy, sexy flock of birds flying freely to explore, to imagine and to build freedoms together

what we do

CREA works across multiple issues, movements, and regions using flexible, adaptive and integrated strategies focused on four goals:

Build feminist leadership
Strengthen movements
Expand sexual and reproductive freedoms

One of the few international feminist organizations based in the Global South, CREA deploys cross-cutting programs, thought-provoking institutes and local to global advocacy to help create a more just and peaceful world, where everyone realizes their autonomy, dignity and equality.

sexual and reproductive rights

One of our great loves is building the capacity of individuals and organizations that advocate for human rights. Every year, CREA organizes a range of different ‘Institutes’ – our name for short-duration, residential, intensive training sessions. First launched in 2002, we now have over 7,000 Institute alumni across the world.

sexuality, gender, rights

The Sexuality, Gender and Rights Institute offers a conceptual study of sexuality and its intersections with rights, gender, health, law and culture, enabling activists, researchers, journalists and practitioners to critically engage through a rights-based lens.

feminist leadership

The Feminist Leadership, Movement Building and Rights Institute is conducted in English in South Asia and East Africa and in Hindi in India, focusing on concepts such as patriarchy, power, gender, caste, feminist leadership, gender-based violence and disability rights.

disability, sexuality, rights

The Disability, Sexuality and Rights Online Institute explores disability, gender and sexuality, and their interlinkages with feminism, sexual and gender diversity, racial justice, SRHR, gender-based violence, media, art, representation, and law.

CREA’s work is not only about numbers but about everything we do and how we do it.

Impact takes place when shifts occur. From individual to collective levels, from structural to norms levels.

When it comes to social justice goals — complex and requiring long-term investment of time and resources — we focus on critical types of shifts and their how and their so what.
