EQUALITY NOW

Equality Now works for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women and girls around the world. Working with national women's rights organisations and individual activists, we document violence and discrimination against women and girls and add an international action overlay to support their efforts to advance equality rights and defend individual women who are suffering abuse.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined recently
