In turn, education is understood as a tool for individual and community empowerment and transformation.

The Gender Centre seeks to advance solutions to gender injustice, discrimination and exclusion drawing on the tools of social science analysis. Its research, training, and outreach activities focus on two thematic areas: the transformations of gender resulting from processes of globalisation, and development and the politics of gender in a globally-connected world.

Gender Links (GL) focuses on "promoting gender equality in and through the media." This work has two facets: research, training and advocacy for achieving greater gender sensitivity and balance within the media and in its editorial content; as well as strategic communication skills for gender activists and women in decision-making to better access and influence media content. Over time, GL's media focus has expanded to include work in the gender and governance field more broadly. GL's work on developing strategic communications campaigns linked to the Sixteen Days of Activism on Gender violence has  grown to include initiatives to ensure sustained, year-long campaigns for ending gender violence.
