Yarrow Global Consulting

Our Mission

Our mission is creating more inclusive public policies through building capacities of women*-led civil society, facilitating dialog between civil society and public administration and raising public awareness of the intersection between gender, health and the climate crisis.

Yarrow Global Consulting gGmbH is a feminist non-profit founded in 2019 that focuses on the intersection of health, gender and the environment. Our name is inspired by the yarrow plant, known for its resiliency and ability to adapt and flourish in eroded environments, and whose medicinal use has been valued for millennia, especially for reproductive health.

Our Focus

Environmental sustainability and the climate crisis

What we do

Inform

We co-create and disseminate information on the intersection of gender, health and the environment that centre the lived experience of women and marginalised groups. We do this through our blog, our newsletter, as well as research, public speaking and capacity building projects.

Transform

We develop, manage, monitor and evaluate projects that contribute to a gender- just socio-ecological transformation. We do this by engaging with feminist, intersectional and decolonial approaches.

Innovate

We challenge existing paradigms and develop new perspectives that improve services and products in the public and private sector. We do this by centering the voices of those most impacted by the socio-ecological transformation.

How we work

Where we work

Yarrow Global

Since our beginnings we have brought together people and organizations worldwide who are contributing to a fair and sustainable socio-ecological transformation. We provide gender expertise, research and project coordination skills to global projects with practical relevance.

Yarrow in Organisations

Power dynamics shape and influence our interactions. The demand for strategies promoting diversity equity and inclusion as well as tackling structural racism and discrimination is growing. Yarrow supports organizations in initiating change at a structural level in order to have a more positive impact on people and the planet.

Yarrow at Home

As a company based in Germany, we strive to contribute to local policies in which all people are safe and can actively contribute to decision making processes. Our projects “at home” in Baden Württemberg promote political education and discourse among diverse local actors. We use community dialogue formats that strengthen the participation of underrepresented groups in public policy development.
