Join Equality Now in Narrm (Melbourne) for Women Deliver 2026

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.

What to expect

Our programme spans ending gender-based violence, funding narrative systems, advancing equality in family law, countering gendered disinformation, and strengthening international human rights mechanisms.

Come and find us at booth E04 as you enter the exhibition space.

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.

Events:
