Equality Now Campaigns

The main engine of Equality Now’s campaign work is the Women's Action Network. Equality Now uses additional approaches in many of its campaigns, including the following:

In the campaign against female genital mutilation, Equality Now publishes Awaken, a forum created to facilitate the exchange of information and strategies among activists and organizations working in their communities to end FGM, and also supports the work of these same organizations through its Fund for Grasroots Activism to End FGM.

In its campaign against sex tourism and trafficking, Equality Now has issued Women’s Actions as well as organized a benefit focusing on the commercial sexual exploitation of women and worked to support international and US legislation that protects all victims of trafficking.

Equality Now convened a coalition of national and regional women’s groups in Africa in a campaign to ensure the strongest language possible for the protection and promotion of women’s rights in the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa.

Several Equality Now campaigns have used United Nations mechanisms to promote the human rights of women, including the Beijing + 10 campaign, which highlights discriminatory laws around the world and calls for their repeal, as well as a request for an investigation into the murders of women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women.

The Lawyers Alliance for Women (LAW) Project is an initiative through which Equality Now supports women around the world who are increasingly using the law to promote equality rights for women.

Equality Now has called for the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security by convening an Afghan Women's Summit and bringing the call for women’s inclusion in the Middle East peace process to the attention of the international community.

Women and girls around the world need your help.
