Engender is Scotland's feminist membership organisation, established over 30 years ago as a registered charity to advance equality between women and men. Despite decades of progress, women remain significantly underrepresented in decision-making structures in Scotland and continue to face entrenched barriers in accessing essential services, particularly healthcare. Public policy and services are rarely designed in a way that considers women’s specific experience, limiting outcomes and compounding systemic inequality. At Engender, we envision a Scotland where women and men have equal opportunities in life, equal access to resources and power, and equal safety and security from harm. We address persistent gender inequalities through evidence-based research and analysis, policy advocacy with decision-makers, and empowering women to campaign for systemic change.

Beneficiaries: 'Other defined groups','Other charities or voluntary bodies'

Objectives: • To advance the education of the general public about matters relating to the relative position of men and women in Scottish society • To promote the equality of women with men • To relieve poverty among women • To promote, encourage and facilitate the activities of charities and charitable activities and work with women in Scotland and elsewhere.
