Established in 2008, the Gender Equality Network (GEN) is an active, inclusive, and member-driven inter-agency network comprising over 70 national and international NGOs, civil society organizations, and individual members across Myanmar. Leveraging expertise in gender equality and women’s rights, it leads evidence-based advocacy, public campaigning, and awareness-building to eliminate gender-based violence, challenge discriminatory norms, and promote women's leadership. GEN works toward a vision where Myanmar is a society with gender equality at all levels and sectors, and where human rights are fully respected, protected, and fulfilled. Following the 2021 military coup attempt, GEN has strategically expanded its scope to advance the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda, deliver gender-responsive humanitarian assistance, support Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs), strengthen community resilience, and promote women's meaningful participation in peace and political processes.
