We strive to eliminate all forms of gender-based violence, including domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, and harmful traditional practices. Through advocacy, awareness-raising, and legal reform, we seek to create a world where every individual can live free from fear, coercion, and discrimination.
We advocate for equal access to quality education and vocational training for people of all genders, especially in marginalised communities. By breaking down barriers to education and promoting economic empowerment initiatives, we aim to enable women and marginalised genders to fulfil their potential and participate fully in social and economic life.
We work to increase the representation and participation of women in political processes, leadership roles, and decision-making bodies at all levels. By supporting women’s political empowerment initiatives, mentoring programs, and advocacy for gender-sensitive policies, we strive to build more inclusive and representative democracies.
We challenge discriminatory laws, policies, and social norms that perpetuate gender inequalities and reinforce harmful stereotypes. Through advocacy, public campaigns, and community outreach, we seek to change attitudes and promote a culture of gender equality and respect for diversity.
We advocate for comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services, including access to contraception, safe abortion, and maternal healthcare. By defending reproductive rights and promoting comprehensive sexuality education, we aim to empower individuals to make informed choices about their bodies and lives.
We recognise the intersecting forms of discrimination and marginalisation faced by individuals based on factors such as race, ethnicity, class, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We advocate for an intersectional approach to gender equality that addresses the unique challenges and experiences of diverse communities.
We collaborate with grassroots organisations, civil society groups, governments, and international agencies to amplify the voices of women and marginalised genders and advocate for their rights. Through strategic partnerships and collective action, we seek to mobilise support for gender equality initiatives and hold decision-makers accountable.
Through our advocacy efforts, ICOHR is dedicated to creating a world where gender equality is not only a principle but a reality – where all individuals can live with dignity, autonomy, and equality, regardless of their gender identity or expression.
