Where equality reigns
Values & Priorities
How We Decide What to Do
Our work is influenced in 5 ways
Women's Voices
We listen to the needs, views, experiences of women, girls and gender diverse people in Dorset and where we hear themes, that is where we focus our attention.
Local Need
We analyse what is going on across Dorset and BCP nd we find evidence for where there is gnedered inequality that affects people's lives under the 10 standsrds of the Charter.
Measurables
We work on things we can measure otherwise we cannot be certain that (a) our work is really necessary or (b) that we are being effective in our efforts. We publish these measureables on our website.
Affordability
We can only do the things we have the resources to do. We rely heavily on volunteers, but we also need money. If we can afford to do something, and we have the people to do it, we will.
Disadvantage
We prioritise work to focus on people who are the most disadvantaged or who have multiple and intersecting challenges like women from minority backgrounds or with specific characteristics that mean they face complex barriers to life.
