This booklet provides an overview of WLP's global campaign, Equality Starts in the Family, which focuses on changing the culturally determined roles and beliefs that perpetuate gender discrimination in the family, community, and society.
WLP launched Feminist Advocacy, Family Law and Violence against Women: International Perspectives, on November 1, 2018 in conjunction with the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security (GIWPS). Leading women's rights advocates from around the globe provided remarks on the status of discriminatory family laws and structures that perpetuate inequality and violence both in the home and in communities. An expert panel led a discussion around these issues, highlighting effective strategies for reform.
Please join us in launching WLP's global advocacy campaign for our multi-country initiative, Family Law Reform to Challenge Gender-Based Violence. We invite you to watch the premiere of our new documentary film and join our discussion on the impact of discriminatory family laws on women and societies around the world.
