ABOUT OUR MAKE EQUALITY REALITY GALA
Since 1992, Equality Now has tackled the most difficult barriers to gender equality, challenged ingrained cultural assumptions, and called out injustice whenever and wherever we see it.
Join us in New York on October 8th at Sony Hall as we celebrate the women and changemakers who are holding the line and carving a path to a more just and equal world. The evening will feature celebrity performances, inspiring speakers, and special guests from Equality Now’s global community of activists and influentials. There will also be an open bar, gourmet passed hors d’oeuvres and desserts at one of the world’s premier multi-genre venues.
