Welcome to the Institute for Women's and Gender Studies

The Institute for Women’s and Gender Studies envisions that through our promotion of gender justice and human rights, we will assist in alleviating poverty amongst women and men in Southern Africa, and in building a culture of tolerance, diversity and democracy. To this end, the Institute is embarking on a programme to promote training, research and publications on gender and transformation, in collaboration with cognate departments, as well as with colleagues and stakeholders from civil society, government, local communities and key individuals.

Our mission is to promote the production of critical knowledge about gender relations in all aspects of social life, to build the intellectual capacity of researchers and future policymakers at the University of Pretoria, in South African civil society, state and the continent, and to realise this vision of gendered development, justice and transformation.
