Women's Human Rights
Promoting gender equality
Amnesty International's goal is a world where people of all genders have their rights equally respected and protected. But we're not there yet!
Join us to root out the unequal power relationships that lead to gender-based discrimination and violence. Ensure that women and girls have access to sexual and reproductive health information and services. And make sure that women human rights defenders can safely and freely carry out their work.
