what
we do
CREA works across multiple issues, movements, and regions using fluid, adaptive, and integrated strategies focused on four goals:
- Build feminist leadership
- Strengthen movements
- Expand sexual and reproductive freedoms
- Advance the human rights of structurally excluded people everywhere.
One of the few international feminist organisations based in the global South, CREA deploys cross-cutting programs, thought-provoking institutes, and local to global advocacy to help create a more just and peaceful world, where everyone realizes their autonomy, dignity, and equality.

First launched in 2002, we now have over 5,000 Institute alumni across the world.
