Strengthening SOGIESC movements for social change in SWANA

A regional hub dedicated to learning, capacity development, and movement support across South West Asia and North Africa.

How we support movements

We offer specialized assistance to grassroots activists and organizations navigating complex legal, political, and digital environments.

Capacity building

Developing skills and strategic frameworks to foster resilience and sustainable leadership.

Digital security

Providing resources and training to protect activists in restrictive digital environments.

Strategic thinking

Facilitating collaborative spaces to adapt to changing political and social conditions.

Movement support

Sustaining gender, sexual, and bodily rights movements through holistic backing.

Rooted in SWANA movements

The Social Change Organization (SCO) is a regional, locally led initiative created by a collective of experienced activists and movement builders from across South West Asia and North Africa. We come directly from the movements we support—gender, sexual, and bodily rights collectives that have resisted and adapted under restrictive conditions. We do not campaign or advocate directly; instead, we serve as a dedicated hub for collective growth.

Having a regional hub led by people from our own movements creates an unprecedented level of trust, understanding, and shared purpose."

Empowerment through solidarity
