In the last decade, CMI! has supported 20,000 activists and 25,000 WROs whose work resulted in 2,800 changes in laws, norms and social perceptions that improved the lives of millions of women and girls. 

Some examples of the changes are:

• the passing of a gender-inclusive taxation policy in Masaka, Uganda (2022)
• ensuring that humanitarian aid in Malawi responded to the needs of marginalised women facing GBV when Cyclone Freddy hit (2023)
• including an anti-GBV bill in the South Sudanese parliament (2023) 
• amendment of the country’s Labour Law in Zimbabwe to expand the definition of sexual harassment in the workplace, which led to addressing sexual harassment more broadly in the country (2022)
• and sex workers’ rights were put on the agenda at CSW (2021 and 2022) and Women Deliver (2023) through sex worker-focused and centred events for the first time in the history of these events – the inclusion represented a systemic change.
