Equality Now, Inc.
Since 1992, Equality Now is an international human rights organization run by a network of 80+ lawyers, activists, campaigners, and advocacy experts who envisage a world in which human rights are fully protected and where everyone can enjoy equal treatment under the law, regardless of their gender.We combine legal expertise with strategic advocacy and constructive collaboration to achieve legal and systemic change across four key areas: Achieving Legal Equality, Ending Sexual Violence, Ending Sexual Exploitation, and Ending Harmful Practices.We work to change social norms, upending harmful systems, and holding governments accountable requires persistence, collective power, and long-term investments.
Equality Now works to end violence and discrimination against women and girls around the world. Our main program areas of work are: Discrimination in Law, Sexual Violence, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), and Trafficking.
In partnership with grassroots groups, Equality Now raises international visibility of individual cases of abuse, mobilizes public support through its global membership, and wields strategic political pressure to ensure that governments enact or enforce laws and policies that uphold the rights of women and girls.
