What the charity does

Equality Now works for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women and girls around the world. Working with national women's rights organisations and individual activists, we document violence and discrimination against women and girls and add an international action overlay to support their efforts to advance equality rights and defend individual women who are suffering abuse.
