EQUALITY NOW – AFRICA REGIONAL OFFICE

Founded in 1992, Equality Now is an organisation that advocates for the human rights of women and girls around the world by raising international visibility of individual cases of abuse, mobilising public support through our global membership, and wielding strategic political pressure to ensure that governments enact or enforce laws and policies that uphold the rights of women and girls. 

With offices in New York, Nairobi and London and presences in Amman, Jordan and Washington, DC, our areas of focus include Discrimination in Law, Sexual Violence, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Trafficking. Combining grassroots activism with international, regional and national legal advocacy, we envision a world in which women and men have equal rights under the law and full enjoyment of those rights. 

Fondée en 1992, Equality Now est une organisation qui défend les droits humains des femmes et des filles dans le monde entier en augmentant la visibilité internationale des cas individuels d’abus, en mobilisant le soutien du public par le biais de nos membres dans le monde entier, et en exerçant une pression politique stratégique pour s’assurer que les gouvernements adoptent ou appliquent des lois et des politiques qui défendent les droits des femmes et des filles. 

Avec des bureaux à New York, Nairobi et Londres et des présences à Amman, en Jordanie, et à Washington, DC, nos domaines d’intervention sont la discrimination dans la loi, la violence sexuelle, les mutilations génitales féminines (MGF) et la traite des êtres humains. En combinant l’activisme de la base avec le plaidoyer juridique international, régional et national, nous envisageons un monde dans lequel les femmes et les hommes ont des droits égaux devant la loi et la pleine jouissance de ces droits.
