Join us to celebrate International Day of the Girl

Equality Now’s annual Make Equality Reality Gala is a unique celebration of arts, advocacy, and entertainment that inspires activism and celebrates those advocating for women and girls’ rights.

This year’s event coincides with Equality Now’s campaign around International Day of the Girl to raise funds and awareness of our work on behalf of girls around the world. This crucial support enables our team of human rights lawyers to use the law to protect and promote the rights of women and girls.

Thank you for being part of this movement. Together, we can create a just world with enduring equality for women and girls.

Please join us by making a gift for women and girls everywhere. Gifts made this week will be doubled - so your support will go twice as far! Head to our website to donate now.
