Gender justice

Subtraction 28

We seek: Gender justice

We want a world free from violence against women and girls. A world where women are given equal rights to learn, earn a decent living and hold leadership positions.

An equal future

Too often, women are denied their equal rights. They do the lion’s share of unpaid care and domestic work; and violence against women and girls is one of the world’s most common human rights abuses. 

With a global team of allies, partners and supporters, we’re changing this at a local level. We’ll keep going until the future is equal for everyone.
