At a gathering of humanitarian leaders and thinkers supporting the Pledge for Change (P4C) in Nairobi, Kenya, Asier Hernando Malax-Echevarria, Director of the Sherwood Way, highlighted the importance of feminist leadership in driving change within the humanitarian sector.
‘I see a huge positive energy coming from many organisations. This is so powerful right now,’ he said. ‘I’m inspired by all those leaders and, specifically, I am so inspired by feminist movement leaders.’
The Pledge for Change 2030 re-imagines the role of INGOs in the global humanitarian and development aid system, pledging to build a stronger aid ecosystem based on the principles of solidarity, humility, self-determination and equality.
