Abstract

The Horizon Europe “Realising Girls’ and Women’s Inclusion, Representation and Empowerment” (RE-WIRING) Project re-thinks existing institutional approaches and systems and aims to contribute to effective change that can only be brought about by a redesign - re-wiring - of existing institutions including their formal and informal operating systems and legal, policy, and institutional approaches allowing for transformative equality in all domains of society. This working paper forms the theoretical foundation of the REWIRING Project, as it explores the perspectives and concepts in the literature from different disciplines concerning institutional, experiential, and symbolic dimensions of gendered power hierarchies. It forms part of the groundwork for developing the theoretical and methodological aspects of RE-WIRING’s Transformative Equality Approach (TEA) that can lead to sustainable gender transformation in private and public institutions starting in five countries, namely Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Spain and the United Kingdom.
