Diakonia in Asia
In Asia, Diakonia cooperates with partner organizations in Sri Lanka and Thailand. The common goal for our work is to fight against poverty, strengthen gender equality and be a part of processes where the most vulnerable and exposed people have the opportunity to conquer a just and dignified life.
Sri Lanka
Diakonia in Sri Lanka is dedicated to systematically challenging patriarchal structures at grassroots and decision-making levels, advocating for democratic processes, promoting environmental initiatives, and lobbying for policy-level changes.
Thailand
In Thailand, many voices especially those of women, youth, and children are still too often missing from key socioeconomic decisions. Through the B.O.L.D. – Policy Project, Diakonia and its partners are strengthening civil society to drive more inclusive, gender-responsive development and governance.
