Founded over 30 years ago, Womankind is a vibrant and successful international feminist organisation working hard, in collaboration with our partners and allies worldwide, to change that. Our focus countries are currently Afghanistan and Nepal in South Asia and Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, and Zimbabwe in Africa.
The Co-Chairs lead Womankind’s governance in line with the Governance Code. In doing so, they enable trustees to attract resources, ensure openness, accountability, and compliance with legislation and regulation, and promote feminist attitudes and a culture where everything works towards fulfilling the charity’s vision:
A world where all women, girls, and people of all genders enjoy equal rights and freedoms and live with joy, choice, and dignity.
The Co-Chairs are responsible for board management, supporting individual trustees and the Co-CEOs, and facilitating scrutiny of Womankind’s strategic direction, values, policies, and operational efficiency. They also play an active role in representing the organisation to a range of internal and external stakeholders.
The Co-Chair (UK Lead) can be based anywhere but must have experience of working with the UK charity commission and have knowledge of UK charity law. This is an unpaid voluntary position. Reasonable expenses for travel and subsistence while on Womankind business are reimbursable.
