In the face of increasing threats to women’s rights, Equality Now has stood firm in using the law to hold governments accountable for a better present and future for women and girls.
We bring people together to ignite collective energy and new ideas to address violence and discrimination.
We brought together civil society and Parliamentarians in the Middle East and North Africa to combat legal exemptions for rapists, activists in East and West Africa to tackle cross-border FGM and “child marriage”, and survivors and service providers in Southern Africa to join forces to address sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.
We continue to celebrate the many faces of activism.
In the face of political uncertainty and regressive policy, we a global summit in the United States’ capital that showcased the diverse and distinctly global voices working
to end FGM.
We are hopeful for the future.
The world has changed significantly over the last 24 years and Equality Now remains optimistic that together we can make this world more just and equal for women and girls. As we look forward to our 25th anniversary in 2017, we have a new look to match our confidence in a better tomorrow. To the tens of thousands of partners, survivors, activists and tireless supporters who have worked and stood with us over the years, thank you for your solidarity, your courage and your tenacity. More than ever, we must stand together to create a more just world for women and girls.
