Founded in 1992, we are an international human rights organisation that works to protect and promote the rights of all women and girls around the world. Our campaigns are centred on four program areas:
Legal Equality, Gender-Based Violence, and End Sexual Exploitation, with a cross-cutting focus on the unique needs of adolescent girls.

We are truly global, and we have a team of 80+ people located all around the world. We have team members in Benin, Beirut, London, Geneva, San Jose, El Salvador, Argentina, Nairobi, Tbilisi, New York and Washington, DC among others. We offer a great experience for talented people who are passionate about equality. To work here, you’ll need to share our core values of integrity and accountability, inclusiveness, resilience, and empathy.
