DIVA community members are part of a powerful local and global grassroots-led social movement of feminist, sexual rights, women’s rights and gender justice defenders. We work on all aspects of women's lives -socio-economic, ecological, climate and more. We mobilise and organise in informal settlements, rural and maritime areas since 2011.
We produce participative research, analysis, and advocacy. We deliver services and referrals to help women and GNB people navigate state and social systems, and carry out direct action and advocacy. We work for universal human rights and justice.

What we are not:
We are not an NGO. We do not have a lot of resources for training, development of the general public. Sorry, we do not host international volunteers, just local ones from our networks. We welcome new members who want to contribute to DIVA for Equality work from at-risk and marginalised communities, and learn how we work and play. We are a registered queer-led feminist collective in Fiji, with a wide and engaged constituency of women, femme and gender non-binary people in Fiji, Pacific small island communities, Majority South. We have strong accomplices transnationally.
