THE ACCOUNTABILITY UNIT

Accountability Unit has four strategic work streams: litigation, advocacy, policy-advice and mentoring. We seek to advance accountability for gender-based rights violations through petitioning legal bodies, raising awareness of gender based harm, harmonising domestic state practice with international obligations, and providing specialist help to lawyers assisting survivors of gender-based harm.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 8 years
