Driving change since 1992.

The evidence is clear: achieving legal gender equality benefits everyone, providing the foundation for more stable, prosperous societies where all are free to achieve their potential.

Since our inception in 1992, we’ve played a pivotal role in the reform of over 135 discriminatory laws worldwide – positively impacting the lives of millions of women and girls, their communities and nations, both now and for generations to come.

Together, we can eliminate all legal and systemic barriers to gender equality and transform the lives of millions more.
