About the work
Global Rights for Women believes women and girls around the world deserve to live their life free from gender-based violence; they deserve equality, safety and justice. Which is why we’ve been on a mission since 2014 to support communities, organizations and institutions in advancing laws, values and practices that eliminate violence against women and girls.
More than 60 million women have been impacted because of our work, we will continue until all women are provided the human right to live free from gender-based violence. And, with your support, we believe we can achieve that goal.
More than 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female genital mutilation; it’s mostly carried out on young girls between infancy and age 15.
