global feminist coalition

advancing inclusive algorithms, human rights-based AI, and community-led technology innovation.

Co-led by Women at the Table and Code for Africa, the Alliance supports women’s rights organizations, researchers, technologists, and affected communities to move from critique to creation: shaping AI systems, tools, evidence, and governance models that advance gender equality and democratic participation.

What we do 

What we do 

Build the field of feminist AI

 We support a global community of researchers, technologists, activists, and institutions developing feminist approaches to AI and algorithmic systems.

Turn ideas into prototypes and pilots

Through our paper → prototype → pilot methodology, we help women’s rights organizations and interdisciplinary teams move from community-defined problems to responsible AI solutions.

Shape governance, policy, and evidence

We produce research, methods, case studies, and practical tools that help governments, funders, civil society, and technology actors build more accountable and inclusive AI systems.

AI systems increasingly shape access to services, information, opportunity, safety, and rights. Yet the people most affected by these systems are too often excluded from their design, testing, governance, and ownership.

The A+ Alliance exists to change that.

We work from the principle that women’s rights organizations and affected communities should not only be consulted about AI. They should have the tools, infrastructure, knowledge, and authority to shape it.

Our Method: Paper > Prototype > Pilot

Define the problem, the affected communities, the human rights risks, and the theory of change.

Develop and test an early AI-enabled tool, dataset, method, or governance intervention with expert mentorship.

Validate the solution in context, document learning, and assess whether it can be responsibly scaled.

Co-led by Women at the Table and Code for Africa

Women at the Table brings feminist governance, human rights, multilateral policy, and methodological leadership, including the Alliance’s foundational work on inclusive algorithms and gender-transformative AI.

Code for Africa brings civic technology, data, technical infrastructure, and implementation capacity across African contexts.

Together, the co-leads combine policy imagination, community-rooted methodology, and technical capacity to support a new model of AI innovation led by women’s rights organizations and affected communities.

Impact

Since 2019, the A+ Alliance has helped build a global field of feminist AI research, practice, and advocacy.

Our work has supported interdisciplinary researchers, women’s rights organizations, technologists, and policy actors working to ensure that algorithmic systems advance equality rather than reproduce exclusion.Selected achievements:
