About Equality Now
Equality Now was founded with the mission of using legal advocacy to protect and promote the human rights of women and girls. For more than 25 years, Equality Now has been using the law to create a just world for women and girls. By directing global public and media attention on individual cases of abuse—while also advocating with policymakers and using international human rights law, the organization puts significant international pressure on governments to enforce and enact good laws, as well as change attitudes. Equality Now has international strength and reach. It partners with organizations in nearly every country in the world to ensure that individual cases become international concerns, and that progress made globally is enacted locally.
