Welcome to the Thread. We are an independent think tank broadening the discourse on policymaking through collaboration and consensus.
Our areas of work are informed by gender and identity politics, feminisms, and feminist economics as key areas in achieving economic justice, a life free of violence, and promoting capabilities in participatory decision-making.
Prosperity, social inclusion and dignity
Freedom from fear, coercion and intimidation
Developing potential, involved decision-making, civic activism
We look for ways of generating knowledge that supports a robust and sustainable policy environment in our key areas of work. The Thread is committed to working with government agencies, parliamentary and special interest groups, civil society and non-governmental organisations in shaping public policy debates.

We do endorse choice, freedom, respect and duty of care. The rights of the individual to inclusiveness, participation, equality and diversity are our guiding principles.
