Mission, Vision & Values

In the face of the global culture of impunity on violence against women, Every Woman Treaty mainstreams the right to a life free from violence for every woman and girl, everywhere. We work to eliminate this violence worldwide by mobilizing a global movement and advancing a treaty to prevent violence against women and girls.

We envision a world where every woman and girl everywhere can realize her human right to a life free from violence.

Mission first, women first. We catalyze leadership – from grassroots activists to heads of state – for global system change to deliver a life free from violence for every woman and girl. Every decision we make centers on our mission and the women and girls most affected by our efforts.

Community makers. We are community builders and movement makers. We build a safer world on the foundation of our collective genius. We celebrate all the BeYOUtiful folks in the movement, in all our diversity. Everyone we work with, from grassroots activists to heads of state, is of equal standing in our community.

Ever hopeful. We believe a future free from violence for every woman and girl is achievable. By staying in a positive frame of mind, we make the “impossible” happen, a safer world for women and girls, a reality.

Resolute. With clarity and focus, we advance the work. We flow like river water past obstacles, onward to our destination: A global sea-change for the safety of women and girls everywhere.

Rigor, always. As self-appointed global ambassadors for women and girls everywhere, we always represent with rigor. We are committed to ethics, excellence, and accuracy.

Straight up. We are open and honest and exercise integrity in words and deeds. We communicate ethically and openly. Candor, always.

Grace. We recognize the enormity of global systems change work and show one another compassion, care, and consideration.
