With support from Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity, the Fight Inequality Alliance mapped the groups, movements, and activists currently challenging inequality around the world. This study was conducted in response to the evident gap in existing research on inequality, which has to date has focused on tracking and analysing its rise in different forms, with much attention given to the analysis of campaigning and organising against inequality. It aimed to widen and deepen our collective understanding of movements fighting inequality around the world.
Fight Inequality Alliance partnered with Rhize to lead the research, building on their experience in studying multi-country social movements. The research findings were based on surveys and in-depth interviews conducted between 2018 and 2019 with people in 23 countries across Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe.
The Fight Inequality Alliance and partners hope that this work will help to further the current understanding of the state of the fight against inequality, the numbers of active groups, their approaches, the challenges they face, and their successes. It is hoped that the analysis will reveal best practice, successful tactics and trends, and assist in further connecting disparate groups to build concerted and collective action.
