About Equality Now
Equality Now is a feminist organization using the law to protect and promote the human rights of all women and girls. We make, change and apply the law to establish enduring equality for women and girls everywhere. Since 1992, our international network of lawyers, activists and supporters have held governments responsible for ending legal inequality, sexual exploitation, sexual violence and harmful practices. We aim to live our mission through the feminist principles of equality, anti-discrimination, inclusion, autonomy and dignity.
Equality Now challenges legal discrimination through our unique combination of strategic advocacy and global collaboration:
We hold governments accountable for discriminating on the basis of gender by highlighting regressive legislation through our periodic global reviews.
We build coalitions and seed movements to advocate for fairer laws and better practices across every area of civil, commercial, and criminal litigation.
We strengthen grassroots efforts through global campaigns. We raise and amplify the voices of local communities to leaders, policymakers, and citizens everywhere.
We collaborate with regional and national partners, drawing upon the collective wisdom of a large and diverse community of women and feminist organizations and combining it with our own legal expertise and resources.
Impact in Numbers
In 2023, Equality Now improved access to justice for 39.2 million women and girls worldwide, by using our exemplary legal skill and acumen to help change 14 laws in 12 countries.
In 2024, our impact was felt around the world, including in:
The Gambia, where we helped uphold a ban against female genital mutilation.
Kyrgyzstan, where we brought visibility to the fact that women with disabilities are far more likely to experience sexual violence and face greater barriers to accessing justice, and we drafted a manual for legal aid lawyers, investigators, prosecutors, and judges.
Colombia, where a law was passed to set the minimum age of marriage to 18 without exception.
South Asia with the launch of a new coalition to address sexual violence against women and girls living in the region.
Over the past 30 years, we have contributed to the elimination or progressive amendment of 85 discriminatory laws across the world
