Equality Now

Where women and girls are treated fairly, there is less societal conflict and more economic stability. By protecting and advancing the rights of women and girls everywhere, we believe that we can achieve peace and prosperity for everyone.

Every day, women and girls around the world face violence and discrimination. A third of all women will experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, regardless of age or background, and almost every country in the world has laws that treat women and girls as second-class citizens. Sexual exploitation, violence, harmful cultural practices, and systemic inequalities violate their human rights and prevent them from reaching their potential.

At Equality Now, we know that legal equality is the foundation of gender equality. We use the power of the law to unlock the full potential of future generations of women and girls by changing social norms, upending harmful systems, and holding governments accountable.

Through a combination of legal expertise, strategic advocacy, global collaboration with a diverse range of partners, and resourcing, we generate legal and systemic change in every part of the world.
