Women's Initiatives for Gender Justice
Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice is an international feminist organisation working to advance gender justice through the law, with a particular focus on international criminal law and accountability for gender-based harm.
We work to ensure that international justice systems recognise the full scope of gender-based violence and discrimination, and that survivors and communities most affected by harm are able to shape justice processes, from how crimes are defined, to how accountability and reparations are pursued.
Our work sits at the intersection of international criminal law, feminist legal analysis, and collective action. We combine deep legal expertise with sustained engagement alongside survivors, civil society, and justice institutions to address gaps where gender-based harm has been overlooked, mischaracterised, or excluded.
How We Work
We track legal developments and produce research to strengthen gender justice in international criminal law.
We engage directly with international courts, policy makers and global institutions decision-makers to shape legal and policy frameworks for gender-based crimes.
We bring together survivors, legal experts, academics, and change makers to advance gender justice collectively.
our impact
Shaping gender justice.
For over 20 years, Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice has driven feminist change inside international justice systems.
Across 15 countries, including Ukraine, Afghanistan, Colombia, and Palestine, we work with partners and practitioners to ensure accountability reflects lived experience.
Through more than 60 legal submissions and publications, we have helped shape jurisprudence, policies, and principles that strengthen survivor-centred, intersectional approaches to justice.
