“Equality Now is not only standing on the bank of the river, rescuing people who are drowning, but also going to the head of the river to try to see why people are falling in.”--Gloria Steinem

Since 1992, Equality Now has campaigned to protect and promote the human rights of women and girls around the world with the generous support of individuals and organizations. Your gift today will help ensure that millions can live a life free of gender-based violence and discrimination.

GIVE NOW!
Equality Now envisions a world where each woman and girl is valued and her fundamental human rights are recognized and protected--a world where rape, domestic violence, FGM, trafficking, "honor" killings, early marriage, and other forms of violence no longer exist. Here are examples of what we can achieve with your gift:

• $25: 40 global campaign alerts to end sex trafficking.
• $50: 100 phone calls or 1,000 electronic messages to mobilize partners and the public to end male guardianship, “teacher” rape or child marriage.
• $100: Helps lawyers investigate potential new cases.

Every Gift has an Impact:
No gift is too small. Together we can achieve the impossible. Consider:

• 100 supporters x $5 donation=$500= 25 copies of Africa Rising distributed to grantee-partners for outreach in practicing communities to help end FGM.
• 200 supporters x $10 donation=$2,000= Supporting litigation for an Adolescent Girls’ Legal Defense Fund case.
• 500 supporters x $25 donation= $12,500= Producing, translating & distributing a Women’s Action to all members of the Women’s Action Network around the world.

Monthly Giving
A monthly gift is a wonderful way to show your commitment to Equality Now’s work while making giving easier for you. Please indicate on the online (or printed) donation form that you would like to make a monthly gift. We will send you a year-end summary report of your giving for your tax records.

Leadership Giving
Please consider joining our Leadership Circle by contributing $1,000 or more per year. Giving at this level is critical to the strategic planning of Equality Now’s campaigns and the speed of our response to human rights violations. The Leadership Circle also provides opportunities for our core supporters to become more involved in Equality Now’s work through: invitations to special Leadership Circle events, bi-annual newsletters, and the latest information and material on our campaigns.
