Equality Now’s School Group Initiative

Support gender equality through your school.

Anyone can stand up for gender equality and make a difference, and the action of supporting gender equality can look differently for everyone. One way you can contribute to a gender-equal world and partner with Equality Now is through your school.

Turn passion into action

You’re here because you believe in making equality reality and that together we can create a world in which everyone has equal rights under the law. Thank you.

Create change at school:

  • School clubs help fuel awareness, gather support, and raise funds for women and girls worldwide. By working alongside other similarly motivated peers and community members, you can create a ripple effect that changes lives.
  • Fundraising is a great, low-commitment way to support change. From bake sales to walkathons, you have the power to choose the fundraising method that works best for your schedule and capabilities.

School club spotlight

We are grateful for the support of the Girls Speak Up Club at Marymount School. Their efforts have created awareness in their school and broader community and reveal how we can all make a difference. Thank you!

“There has never been a more important moment in history to be a girl coming of age. If you are reading this then you are a girl who is thinking about starting an Equality Now Club at your school and we are here to tell you that is the first step in a very important journey toward making a difference! We are Eleanor Uzielli and Dalton Reilly, 17-year-old rising seniors who started an Equality Now Club at our Los Angeles high school at the beginning of our sophomore year. When we decided to start our own club, the #MeToo movement had just become front page news. As the movement grew, we felt it was more important than ever that we speak up for girls everywhere. As a result, we started our own chapter of Equality Now Club at Marymount and we spread the word to friends at nearby LA high schools, Notre Dame and Harvard Westlake. Our friends started clubs, too. And now, it’s your turn – let’s make this a nationwide movement and change laws for girls everywhere to give girls more power and a stronger voice in what happens to them!”
