Making organizations more equitable, from the inside out.
MAP Impacts works with organizations to understand how gender shapes policies, practices, workplace culture and everyday experiences.
We use the Participatory Gender Audit methodology to help organizations identify gaps, question existing practices and create practical pathways towards greater gender equality.
Our work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding how an organization actually functions, not simply what its policies say.
What we look at
A gender audit can reveal patterns that are difficult to see through policies or performance data alone.
We examine areas such as:
1
Policies & Systems
How organizational policies address gender equality and whether they are implemented effectively.
2
Workplace Culture
How everyday behaviours, norms and attitudes influence inclusion and participation.
3
Leadership &
Decision-Making
How gender can shape access to leadership, influence and organizational decision-making.
4
Opportunities & Progression
Whether people have equitable access to recruitment, development, recognition and advancement.
5
Organizational Practices
How processes and structures may create or reinforce gender-based barriers.
6
Lived
Experiences
What people across the organization experience, perceive and identify as areas for change.
