7 min read
We’re delighted to be a Supporter Sponsor of Women Deliver 2026 in Narrm (Melbourne) on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We very much hope to see you there.
Equality Now is participating at Women Deliver 2026 to help drive collective action at a time when hard-won gains are being contested, diluted, and deliberately dismantled in many parts of the world.
We’re bringing together advocates, partners, and allies for a series of events focused on legal equality, ending gender-based violence, strengthening accountability, and responding to the global backlash against the rights of women and girls.
Our programme spans ending gender-based violence, funding narrative systems, advancing equality in family law, countering gendered disinformation, and strengthening international human rights mechanisms.
Register your interest to attend Equality Now’s events at Women Deliver 2026. We’ll share confirmation, event details, and updates as they are finalised.
United for Action: Global Solidarity to End FGM/C Pre Conference
Building on the success of previous pre-conferences at Women Deliver 2019 and 2023, the Global Platform for Action to End FGM/C is organizing this pre-conference to ensure that ending FGM/C remains a paramount priority within global gender equality discourse. The objectives of the event are to collaborate and share learnings, mobilize political will, strengthen cross-sectoral partnerships and to co-create joint strategies.

12:00–1:30 PM Intersections Lab: Family Law & SRHR
Join us for an interactive and discussion-based session exploring how discriminatory family laws intersect with sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).

This cross-movement event invites you to connect, strategise, and reimagine!
