Equal Rights for Women and Girls

About This Collection

Equal Rights for Women is a major category, like energy or climate change, of sustainability and the voices in this collection are of the present and the past.

If we don't address human rights and social justice of which the sustainability keywords and phrases include children's rights and welfare; human trafficking, slavery, and women's rights and roles, then as David Korten points out, we will not be able to come to terms with the limits of the planet and not even technology will be able to save us.

The Equality Effect

The equality effect is an innovative non-profit organization that brings together leading human rights experts in Kenya, Malawi, Ghana, and Canada to conduct ground-breaking legal work on women's and girls' human rights issues.

The Canadian experience in advancing women's equality rights is the reference for the project at the express request of our African partners. The equality effect works to advance women's and girls' human rights and promote women's and girls' empowerment through the development of equality research and the implementation of practical equality initiatives (e.g. public legal education, policy reform, and test case litigation) that will result in tangible change.

The primary focus of the organization's work relates to violence against women, the feminization of HIV/AIDS, and women's property rights. For more information and to make a donation please go to Published on Dec 16, 2010
