Women's Platform for Action International

What we do

Reinforcing the voices of women

Women’s Platform for Action International works to establish a strong and resourceful global democratic partnership of women’s organisations to reinforce the global women’s movement in solidarity.   

Taking action

We take actions to realise, accelerate implementation and raise awareness about the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA), and other relevant international human rights instruments.

We work to realise women’s human rights and fundamental freedoms, and ensure that those are known, understood and codified.

Through capacity building, advocacy, and partnerships we aim at holding states and institutions accountable, and promote policies that protect women against discrimination based on sex.

We recognise the urgency of the current situation and the need for immediate and concrete action.

We advocate for comprehensive legal and policy reforms at global, regional, national and local level.

Together, we strive to create a just world for all in which substantive equality for women and girls is achieved
