Overview
Mission
Center for Intimacy Justice (CIJ) works to create equity and wellbeing in people's intimate lives. CIJ's first program is changing Big Tech platforms discriminatory suppression of womens sexual and reproductive health information online.
What it reported doing in 2024
Center for Intimacy Justice released the largest investigation to date into tech platforms' discriminatory digital suppression of health information serving women and underrepresented groups. CIJ's investigation was published in WIRED and numerous media outlets, demonstrating how 4 major tech platforms suppress women's health information -- to call for change. CIJ presented our findings worldwide and advocated to create improvements. CIJ led new research studies in partnership with major multilateral institutions to analyze content moderation practices' effects on young people's access to health education information globally. CIJ conducted legal analysis and research to develop other strategies to drive change on these issues. Center for Intimacy Justice continued our advocacy and investigations -- and shared about our research at convenings, press outlets and online activities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
