We begin our journey amid the pandemic in 2020 under the name Integral, originally co-founded by Peny Rahmadhani, Rizki Amalia Affiat and Fiona Vaz. In 2022, we transformed to Integral Knowledge Asia. As we witnessed the dire impact of the pandemic, we opted to co-create a space to understand various ways people, especially women, strive and thrive through multiple challenges that the crisis has brought. We aim to actively contribute to the praxis of international development that promotes the diverse experiences and knowledge of women. Our aim is to engage in a critical conversation about what international development means for people in the Global South. 

Our findings are disseminated for wider use by experts, practitioners, policy makers, communities, and the general public with a view to influence conversations around gender.
