Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) at “To Rise Up”

At To Rise Up, our Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) policy and framework is at the core of our commitment to fostering a more just and equitable society. Our framework ensures that all marginalized and intersectional groups—whether based on ethnicity, language, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or childhood vulnerabilities—have equal access to opportunities, resources, and platforms for meaningful participation.

In every activity we undertake, we begin with a thorough needs assessment and desk study to analyze and evaluate the specific barriers and challenges faced by these groups. This evidence-based approach enables us to design and implement initiatives that are not only inclusive but also tailored to the unique needs of those most at risk of exclusion.

Through targeted strategies, advocacy efforts, and community-driven initiatives, To Rise Up is dedicated to dismantling systemic barriers, amplifying marginalized voices, and creating environments where diversity and inclusion are not just ideals but everyday practices. By prioritizing equity in all aspects of our work, we aim to empower individuals, especially those at the intersection of multiple forms of marginalization, to thrive and contribute to a society where everyone’s rights and potential are fully realized.
