Women-Centric Design is the culmination of insights, best practices, and impactful nuggets uncovered by being in conversation with 80+ gender, feminist, and impact practitioners over several hundreds of hours. These practitioners shared not only their own lived experiences but also those of the women they designed with and for.
The research conversations spanned diverse practitioners across geographies, cultures, races, socioeconomic sectors, industries, domains, faiths, and more: from those creating grassroots sports programs in rural India to those developing research and education platforms in Nigeria, financial services in Pakistan, North America, and the Philippines, health platforms in Latin America and the US, and many more.
In addition to the research and reflection, we invited a group of practitioners to engage in a ‘contributor process,’ to provide feedback as we built the components of Women-Centric Design. Together with the gender practitioners, a total of 88 contributors gave their time, space and thoughts to help bring this work to life.

Women-Centric Design would not exist without the hundreds of design, product, social impact, and other practitioners who engaged with it via our workshops, talks and courses. Here are a few insights we took away from this process:
↗ Contribute a resource/feedback to the project
↗ Contribute funds to the project
