The ambition is to build a broad association for all those academics and professionals who have been trained in or are working in Women’s and Gender Studies and Feminist Research, as well as for all those professionals and academics who are interested in Women’s and Gender Studies and Feminist Research, women’s rights, gender equality and diversity.
