Join the movement for a global treaty to end violence against women and girls.
Getting started
You probably know that violence against women is the most pervasive human rights violation on earth. But did you know that currently there is no means at the global level to hold nations accountable for addressing this violence?
Every Woman Treaty is a campaign for a global treaty to end violence against women and girls. We are the facilitators of a global process for both the creation and adoption of a global treaty. Our coalition includes more than 1,700 women’s rights activists, scholars, and organizations in 128 countries.
We know treaties can change global norms and create the political will for countries to address problems. We saw this happen with the Tobacco Treaty and with the Mine Ban Treaty. Now we can do the same for women and girls!
Every Woman Treaty campus activists come from across the globe, have a passion for women’s rights, and want to take part in creating a safer world for women and girls.
We welcome activists from all backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, genders, sexualities, and religions. As an activist, you will work with our engagement team to co-produce campaigns, events, programs, and signing events to generate awareness and momentum for the movement for a treaty to end violence against women and girls.
You will gain new experiences, sharpen your leadership, immerse yourself in campaigning for women’s rights, and gain insights to help you discover your interests and talents.
