CMI!’s vision is a gender-equal and just world, where all women, girls, and non-binary, gender non- conforming, trans and intersex people enjoy their rights fully and live to their full potential. Our role in bringing about this vision is to support movements to be resilient and leverage their power to create change from local to global, and from global to local, thereby engendering systemic and sustainable change at all levels.

In order for feminist civil society movements to be strong and autonomous39 (an ambitious achievement in itself), self-led WHRDs and WROs go through three intermediate steps - resulting in CMI!’s output (see section 4 and Annex 1, our Results Framework). WHRDs and WROs must be: RESOURCED with the knowledge, resources, and skills for impact, including for L&A. COORDINATED to be able to organise together to articulate priorities and take collective action, including amplifying voices through alliances between structurally excluded movements, linking with more mainstream movements where possible. RESILIENT by having resources, networks, strength and holistic security in place to sustain their work including in the face of backlash and closing civic space, build broader support bases, and expand their work.

Our five-year strategic objective is: political actors, societal actors and donors at local, national, regional and global levels take action to recognise, protect and fulfil the human rights of all women, girls, and non-binary, gender non-conforming, trans and intersex people as a result of strong and autonomous feminist movements holding them to account.
