I have partnered with Equality Now to help create awareness for their causes, as a follower of mine you will know that I am very vocal about gender inequality and the rights of women and girls so it made sense to partner with an organization that is driving change in this arena. Please take a moment to read more about what they do and if you can, please donate to this very worthy cause.
What does Equality Now Do
At Equality Now, they believe in creating a just world where women and girls have the same rights as men and boys. They tackle the most difficult issues, challenge ingrained cultural assumptions and call out inequality wherever they see it. Social change often begins with legal change and so Equality Now use the power of the law to create enduring equality for women and girls everywhere.
ACHIEVE LEGAL EQUALITY
A lack of legal equality promotes violence and discrimination, yet almost every country in the world has laws that treat people differently on the basis of sex and/or gender.
END SEXUAL VIOLENCE
Sexual violence is a human rights violation that predominantly affects women and girls as a consequence of systemic and structural inequality.
END SEX TRAFFICKING
Sexual exploitation, a form of sexual abuse, is when someone abuses or attempts to abuse another person’s vulnerability or their own position of power or trust for sexual purposes.
END HARMFUL PRACTICES
The term ‘harmful practices’ covers forms of violence or ritual discrimination, primarily committed against girls and women, that have become culturally normalized.
