International Women's Development Agency

IWDA is an Australia-based organisation. We work for feminist movements by resourcing diverse women’s rights and aligned organisations*, primarily in Asia and the Pacific, with the money, skills and access they need to achieve their priorities. We are also part of feminist movements, making our own contributions through knowledge creation, advocacy and movement strengthening, to advance our vision of gender equality for all.

We have worked for more than 40 years to defend and advance the rights of diverse women and girls.

While our roots lie in the development sector, our journey has brought us into global feminist movements. We define our unique identity as an organisation both for and of feminist movements – a dual role that allows us to challenge power structures while directly resourcing those working on the frontlines of gender justice. In all that we do, IWDA is committed to challenging and disrupting the systems of oppression that negatively impact the lives of women, girls and gender diverse people. Throughout our history, we have not always gotten this right and know that we will make mistakes again – but we commit ourselves to always take accountability, learn, and repair.
