To promote the recognition of women and girls as rights-holders, challenge stereotypes, combat discrimination, and empower them in matters of their bodies and sexuality, CREA developed the It's My Body (IMB) programme. Implemented in Hindi-speaking states of India, including tribal, Dalit, and religious minority girls, this community-level intervention builds on 15 years of gender-focused work and utilizes sports to address social norms and sexual and reproductive health rights.

Kahi Ankahi Baatein (Saying the Unsaid) is a tech-based infoline developed by CREA to provide information on gender, sexuality, sexual and reproductive health rights, and gender-based violence. Utilizing short and story-telling formats in Hindi, the platform engages young people in Hindi-speaking communities through partnerships with Community Radio stations and an Interactive Voice Recording System (IVRS). The episodes cover various topics, including virginity, condoms, body image, gender discrimination, same-sex relationships, and online violence.

The Count Me In! consortium (CMI) is a collaborative initiative led by Mama Cash and supported by the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs. Alongside member organisations and strategic partners such as AWID, JASS, UAF, UAF-Africa, RUF, and WO=MEN, CMI strives for a gender-equal and just world. It invests in empowering women, girls, and non-binary individuals to advocate for the elimination of gender-based violence, economic justice, and sustainable resourcing of women's rights and organisations.

The OVOF consortium works towards empowering structurally silenced women, enabling their participation in civic spaces and fostering their visibility across online platforms, public spaces, and legal/policy domains. By focusing on individuals facing ingrained silencing due to their identity, labour (such as sex workers), or activism (women's human rights defenders), OVOF aims to counteract the intentional narrowing and weakening of the global civic space by state and anti-gender/anti-democracy forces.

All Women Count (AWC) is a Global South consortium led by CREA and supported by AFE, APC, and UHAI-EASHRI. AWC addresses gender-based violence (GBV) by challenging norms laid down by males, identifying violence drivers, and focusing on disadvantaged women, girls, and trans people. Operating in multiple countries and online spaces, AWC promotes individual and structural changes, empowering marginalized individuals to challenge social norms, mobilize communities, access resources, and demand greater rights while fighting against GBV.
