Fifteen years ago CRWN developed from an information hub to an advocacy and campaigning organisation (see CRWN’s history), but nothing we’ve achieved since then is exclusively attributable to us alone. This reflects the collective nature of advocacy and campaigning, and the realisation that impact is rarely brought about single-handedly. As you’ll see from the examples below, what we’ve accomplished collectively with our partners can range from sparking an idea or changing the narrative, getting harmful laws abolished or strengthening national campaigns, setting a new trend or standing up to powerful institutions. And key to our approach is that we don’t seek out quick wins, but systemic change — or rather, to influence the conditions that can lead to change and always aiming at the root causes of a problem. 

We will soon be publishing more details on how we measure and evaluate impact, and why we’re embedding anti-oppression practices into how we do this. Stay tuned!
