Social Development Direct

Social Development Direct (SDDirect) works for equal rights and social justice around the world. We are a feminist organisation, with a long history of working for women’s rights and gender equality. Over time, we have expanded our areas of work to address other forms of discrimination and unequal power relationships, working on disability inclusion, LGBTQI+ rights, and anti-racism. We believe that different types of inequality such as race, age, class, socioeconomic status, physical or mental ability, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity, religion, or ethnicity can combine to create even greater inequality, and we seek to understand and incorporate this in our work – this is known as taking an intersectional approach. As a social enterprise consultancy, our role is to offer the best quality advice, evidence and programme delivery to our partners and clients to help them make distinctive and lasting contributions to a more equal world. At the same time, we aspire ourselves to be a more inclusive organisation. We have a strong in-house team based at our head office in London and an international network of over 500 renowned social development professionals.
