Our Team

Anastasia Law is Equality Now’s Program Officer for North America, after joining Equality Now as a Legal Fellow in 2023. In her role, she focuses on the implementation of international human rights standards in North America to bring about gender equality through the law and counter gender-based violence and discrimination. 

Anastasia is an international human rights lawyer with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from New York University School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Biology from the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to joining Equality Now, Anastasia gained experience advocating for the legal rights of women and girls through national and international mechanisms in positions with the Universal Rights Group, the Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust, and Public Health Management Corporation. 

Her favorite quote is by Malala Yousafzai: “I raise up my voice – not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard.” This quote continues to inspire her, along with the many women in her life who constantly impress her with their courage and perseverance.

Originally from London, England, Anastasia is currently based in New York City. 

Outside of work, Anastasia enjoys baking for friends and family, traveling to new places, and walking around the city with her dog.
