Why work with us?

Our team brings together knowledge and expertise in Christian and Islamic theology related to women’s rights, marriage, divorce and domestic violence across diverse cultural contexts in Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. We have worked with very diverse communities including Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Christian communities (Ukrainian Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox), Roman Catholic and Protestant Christians (of multiple denominations, including Pentecostals), Jewish, Yazidi and Muslim communities.  

Our team combines a record of work experience in community-grounded, culturally embedded and faith-sensitive research and programme design and delivery in over 16 countries or territories, including Senegal, Ghana, Ethiopia, Zambia, Egypt, Tunisia, the United Kingdom, Poland, Ukraine, Italy, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, the United States, and others. In most of these countries, we have established networks and collaborators at the grassroots level.  

Our project has fostered and is led by a decolonial ethics and ethos grounded in being reflexive about historical and on-going inequalities in knowledge production and international partnerships and employs thoughtfully developed contractual and collaboration processes that seek to subvert exploitative practices and promote genuine co-creation with grassroots organisations and faith institutions. 

Our consultancy model is also innovative and is equally impact oriented. We encourage the clients we work with to share versions of findings that emerge from consultancies to benefit the wider community of practice, which we publish through our ‘What Works’ and ‘Evidence Bites’ paper series.
