This International Women’s Day, it’s time to invest in legal equality and unlock women’s potential.

As anti-rights movements gain momentum around the world, creating hostile environments and threatening hard-won rights, we want to reassure you that regardless of the changing political landscape and whatever else may come our way, Equality Now will continue to support women: then, now, and always. We have over 30 years of experience working in difficult contexts, driving progress even with fierce opposition to our work. We are ready – and we know how – to hold the line to protect women’s rights, and we have hope for the future.

This past year, we’ve secured monumental wins like a ban on child marriage in Colombia, the launch of a new coalition to address sexual violence in South Asia, the development of a technology-facilitated gender-based violence model law, and more. With your help, we will continue to work toward achieving legal equality and ending harmful practices, sexual violence, and exploitation in 2025 and beyond.

Together, we have a role to play in creating a better world for ourselves and future generations. Our global staff and network of allies are skilled and determined to see this work to the finish line, but we can’t do it alone. Solidarity is essential – it gives us strength, resilience, protection, and greater resolve, and it is needed now more than ever.

We believe that full legal equality is an achievable goal – and that with your support, we can get there sooner. Stand in solidarity with Equality Now and women and girls everywhere this International Women’s Day by making a donation today.
