What does GEDSI stand for? Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion

We believe in the power of research to lead to social justice, defined by the United Nations as “the view that everyone, particularly those in greatest need, deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities.” Interdisciplinary research, which integrates the dimensions of gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI), is key for ensuring the participation of all groups of people in the different spheres of society.

Our GEDSI Research includes both our original research projects and research projects commissioned by third parties. The scope of our dedication to advancing GEDSI through the power of research covers the pillars of sustainable development. Together, our research, lectures, events, and workshops, contribute to the understanding of the barriers to equality and that informs policy and programmatic solutions for change.
