About Huairou Commission

Huairou Commission is a women-led social movement of grassroots groups from poor urban, rural and indigenous communities in 42 countries. We position grassroots women as agents of change who must be at the center of development decision-making. Guided by values of solidarity and inclusion, we work for a transformed world with balanced power relations and communities free from poverty and other inequalities, across but not exclusively in gender, race, cultural dimensions. Using the Community Resilience Fund and other tools we support women’s leadership in resilient, sustainable development practices; securing land, finance and other key assets; and expands women’s public decision making roles. In turn, HC’s global policy advocacy and alliance building advances our influence and impact. Driven by grassroots women’s organizations from around the world, the members and partners of the Huairou Commission believe it is in the best interest of local communities and the global development field for grassroots women leaders to expand their participation and leadership in community development work on the issues that affect their daily lives. Huairou Commission members and partners believe grassroots women’s participation in local to global decision-making is a reliable route to achieving gender equitable, pro-poor policies and investments.
