Global Justice 50/50

Workplace policy repository

This repository brings together best practice examples of workplace policies from organisations across the global law and justice sector.

Our aim is to make these examples accessible to anyone looking to write, review, or strengthen their policies to embed gender justice, fairness and equity across their organisation.

This repository does not include every high-scoring policy in our Gender and Justice Index, as some are not publicly available. Read more about these policies and how we score them in our latest annual report, Gender (In)Justice?
