The Women and Public Policy Program’s faculty, research fellows, and students are committed to advancing women and gender equity globally. Through rigorous research, we offer gender insights into work, politics, and conflict that have the potential to reduce or eliminate barriers so all people can fulfill their life aspirations unconstrained by gender bias.
Spotlight
Every year on March 31, people across the world take part in Transgender Day of Visibility to celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people, while also drawing attention to the ongoing challenges this community faces. We invite you to join us in commemorating Transgender Day of Visibility 2024 and explore a few resources that raise the visibility of transgender people and advance research and policymaking related to the trans community.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LAND AND PEOPLE
The Women and Public Policy Program and the Harvard Kennedy School are located on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary unceded homeland of the Massachusett people, the surviving descendants of the first people of Massachusetts and of the Neponset band of the Massachusett. We honor this tradition and work toward a gender equity agenda that addresses the needs of all women, including Indigenous women and Indigenous communities.
