Since 1992, Equality Now with the help of our international network of lawyers, activists and supporters have held governments responsible for ending legal inequality, sex trafficking, sexual violence & harmful practices, such as female genital mutilation (FGM). Social change often begins with legal change. We help advancing women’s and girls’ rights, because when women and girls, men and boys are treated equally, everyone wins.
USING THE LAW: CREATE IT.
CHANGE IT. IMPLEMENT IT.
