We’re looking at a 300-year wait for gender equality.
You’re about to help change that.
If nothing changes, it’ll be 300 years before we achieve gender equality.
Every day, women and girls around the world are seeing their rights cut back. Girls are risking kidnapping and assault for going to school. Women’s sexual and reproductive rights are being driven back. And when a crisis hits, women and girls are affected first and worst.
The patriarchy is fighting back. But so are you.
Help make gender equality a reality for your generation
You can help give every woman safety, choice and a voice.
We’re taking action at every level of society. From governments to corporations. Businesses to individuals. People like you.
When women are empowered, society thrives. Everyone wins.

We’re the only global organisation taking action on gender equality at every level of society
Here in the UK…
Gender inequality isn’t something that just other countries experience. It’s an urgent issue here in the UK and it’s impacting every level of society.
We’re working to change that. By advising governments on policies that prioritise gender equality. Working with companies to remove stereotypes and empower individuals. And leading campaigns, like Safe Spaces Now, to build safer public spaces.
We’re making the UK safer for everyone. One space at a time.
…and around the world
Women and girls are being erased from public life in Afghanistan.
Their education has been removed. They’ve been banned from most areas of the workforce. And prohibited from working in the aid sector.
This is an urgent priority. We’re working with our partner organisations, in-country colleagues and other UN bodies to change this. So women and girls can fulfill their potential and access their human rights once again.
The first step? Free access to education.
You can help make it happen.
