Join us for an engaging conversation on how we can come together to strengthen justice, protection, and accountability for all women and girls.
Across the globe, women and girls face persistent and rising levels of violence. Despite international human rights commitments, gaps remain in both survivor-centred justice and international accountability frameworks. This year, in conjunction with the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70)’s theme on access to justice, Every Woman is pleased to host a discussion exploring ways to strengthen international law to increase access to justice for survivors of violence against women and girls.
This event is both online and in-person. We hope you’ll join us.

All welcome!
