Economic Justice
At Diversify, our work on Economic Justice focuses on promoting equity in employment, wealth distribution, power sharing, and access to critical resources. We are dedicated to dismantling systemic structures that marginalize individuals and communities—particularly women, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups.
Our Key Priorities:
- Inclusive Employment Practices: Advocating for diverse representation and equitable opportunities across industries and leadership roles to enable meaningful power sharing for historically excluded groups.
- Job Creation and Entrepreneurship: Facilitating meaningful employment opportunities for marginalized communities and designing initiatives that support workforce participation and entrepreneurship, aiming to shift and redistribute power equitably.
- Access to Services: Ensuring fair access to essential services, including healthcare, education, and financial systems, free from systemic discrimination.
- Workforce Inclusion: Addressing barriers to entry and retention for marginalized groups, fostering inclusive workplaces where diversity drives innovation and progress.
Through data-driven programming, accelerator and incubation initiatives, mentorship, advocacy, training, and cross-sector collaboration, we strive to enact systemic change. By engaging policymakers, businesses, and communities, we reimagine economic systems to empower all individuals, contributing to sustainable, inclusive growth and equity.
Health
For over six years, our health programming has focused on women and non-binary individuals, centering equity and intersectionality. As we continue to scale our impact, we remain committed to improving mental and emotional well-being for even more women across diverse communities.
We are dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of refugee, asylum-seeking, and BIPOC immigrant women by focusing on approaches that prioritize what fosters well-being, rather than what causes illness. This empowering model strengthens resilience, helping individuals thrive even in adversity.
Our health programming is tailored to the unique needs of the diverse communities we serve, with a strong focus on incorporating their input and leadership throughout program design, implementation, and execution. We engage through a variety of activities, including Women Circles, Community Lunches, Mental Health and Wellness Peer Mentoring, Exercise for Wellbeing, and Healing through Arts and Craft Sessions. Additionally, we provide opportunities for professional development, self-leadership workshops, and months-long employment mentorship programs.
Immigration & Integration
In our work on Immigration & Integration, we focus on creating inclusive environments that empower immigrant and refugee communities both socially and economically. We prioritize understanding their unique challenges and advocate for equitable access to resources, opportunities, and support systems.
Through community engagement and collaborative initiatives, we facilitate smooth transitions, helping individuals navigate cultural, social, and professional landscapes. Our approach includes organizing mentorship and entrepreneurial programs, job training, and skill development workshops tailored to the specific needs of immigrant populations, ensuring they feel valued in their new communities.
We engage diverse stakeholders—local governments, civil society organizations, and community leaders—to co-create policies that promote social cohesion and dismantle barriers to integration. By amplifying the voices of marginalized groups, we advocate for inclusive practices that reflect society’s diversity.
Through ongoing research and knowledge-sharing, we inform best practices in immigration and integration, fostering a sense of belonging. Our ultimate goal is to build resilient, inclusive societies where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background.

Climate Sustainability & Justice
In our work on Climate Sustainability & Justice, we address environmental challenges faced by marginalized communities, prioritizing the voices of BIPOC communities, Indigenous peoples, women, and youth.
We collaborate with grassroots organizations, governments, and private-sector leaders to co-create solutions that bridge environmental sustainability and social equity. Our advocacy promotes climate justice and ensures diverse perspectives are included in decision-making processes.
Through educational programs, workshops, and public gatherings, we empower communities to advocate for their rights and engage in sustainable practices. Our research highlights the intersections of climate change, social inequity, and systemic discrimination, informing best practices for resilience and adaptation.
By centering justice in our climate work, we strive to build a more equitable future for all.
Bridging the Nordics
We are committed to shaping a sustainable and inclusive Nordic region rooted in anti-discrimination, gender equality, equity, and justice. Through dynamic cross-country collaborations with Nordic civil society organizations, we foster deeper understanding, facilitate knowledge transfer, and promote continuous learning. Our initiatives, such as the Diversify Nordics Summit, Bridging the Nordic Arts & Culture sector, the Nordic Blaze Inclusion Awards, cross-border research, and monthly events, are designed to build meaningful connections—both in-person and digital—that bridge divides and unite our diverse communities.
Global Issues & Inequality
In working to address global issues and inequality, we prioritize impactful cross-regional collaborations that drive systemic change in marginalized communities. We engage a diverse range of stakeholders, including civil society organizations and private-sector leaders, to confront pressing challenges such as racial and gender inequality, climate justice, and social exclusion. By leveraging our expertise in inclusive communication and knowledge-sharing, we facilitate transnational dialogues and initiatives that bridge gaps in policy, education, and resource access.
Through strategic partnerships, we amplify diverse voices—particularly those of underrepresented groups like immigrants, refugees, and BIPOC women—ensuring that solutions are culturally grounded and contextually relevant. We also create spaces and convenings that catalyze action on global inequities. Our long-term projects include research studies and mentorship programs aimed at addressing social and economic disparities.
Our commitment to intersectionality ensures that our initiatives consider overlapping factors such as race, gender, and class, fostering equitable and sustainable outcomes for all. Together, we strive to create a more just and inclusive world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Democratic Renewal
Our work on democratic renewal is centered on revitalizing democratic systems to be more inclusive, accountable, and responsive to today’s challenges. We aim to increase civic participation, strengthen institutions, protect human rights, and address issues like polarization and misinformation. By collaborating with diverse stakeholders—especially those most affected—we focus on educating the public, reforming exclusionary processes, and amplifying marginalized voices. Ultimately, our efforts seek to build a fairer, more resilient democracy for all.
