Driving equal opportunities for a better world
Effective responses to humanitarian crises, fostering lasting peace and security, and forging pathways for sustainable development all depend on women’s contributions.
Women must be part of the solution
We launched Female First with the mission to create a more equitable and inclusive aid and development sector in fragile and conflict affected countries. How did we plan to do this? By improving women’s access to decent work in fragile and conflict-affected countries. Female First was underpinned by the goal to achieve 30% female representation across our consultant workforce by 2030. While we reached and exceeded that goal in 2022, eight years early, we remain steadfast in our commitment.
Our three-step approach:
Source – Build our talent pool of qualified women humanitarians.
Submit – Ensure women are represented in shortlists.
Select – Advocate for the importance of women’s participation in the workforce.

CHALLENGING GENDER BIAS
IN HUMANITARIAN EMPLOYMENT
My path to becoming a Human Rights Monitor, started with a passion for the law. In Hadhramaut, I was the first female lawyer. There was a big outcry, especially from my father’s tribe, as they say that being a lawyer is a man’s job.
