GRAN is a non-partisan network of volunteers working together across Canada to advocate at local, national and international levels. We advocate to influence national and global policymakers.
Our vision is a world where the human rights of older women, children, youth, and gender-diverse persons are recognized and protected so that they can achieve their full potential. Our passion for this vision is a deep concern for the well-being and human rights of grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa and the children and youth in their care, as well as those of vulnerable and marginalized women in communities of the Global South.
