Huairou Commission is a women-led non-profit organization that mobilizes grassroots groups from poor urban, rural, and indigenous communities across 38 countries to place women at the center of development decision-making. The group works to strengthen women’s leadership, secure land and other key assets, and expand women’s participation in public decision making, using tools like the Community Resilience Fund to promote resilient, sustainable development that addresses poverty and broader inequalities. Based in Brooklyn, New York, the organization operates within the international development and civil society space, emphasizing solidarity, inclusion, and gender equity as core principles guiding its policy advocacy and alliance-building efforts. Recent activity includes collaborations and participation in climate adaptation events and programs that advance community-led action, including a partnership with the Asian Development Bank to scale community-led climate resilience in the Asia-Pacific region. The organization’s mission is grounded in the belief that grassroots women’s leadership improves local development and contributes to gender-equitable, pro-poor policies and investments worldwide.
