Gender Justice & Women’s Rights

The Global Crisis of Gender Inequality

Every single day, across every country, women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ individuals face discrimination, violence, and exclusion—in homes, schools, workplaces, and governments.

They are denied the right to live free, to earn equally, and to lead fully. They carry the heaviest burden of poverty, conflict, and crisis.

Gender inequality isn’t just unfair—it’s a key driver of poverty. And it’s a direct violation of human rights.

Inequality by the Numbers

Less than 24% of parliamentarians are women worldwide

Women are paid 24% less than men on average

2/3 of the world’s illiterate adults are women

153 countries still have laws that economically discriminate against women

1 in 3 women and girls will experience violence in her lifetime

Our Vision: A Feminist, Gender-Just World

At United Crisis Response, we believe there can be no economic, social, or environmental justice without gender justice.

We work to ensure that women and girls live free from discrimination and violence, and have equal power to shape their futures.


What We’re Fighting For

1. Full Rights and Freedoms

  • Sexual and reproductive health access
  • Equal protection under the law
  • Freedom from all forms of gender-based violence

2. Safety in Crisis

  • Protection for women and LGBTQIA+ people in humanitarian emergencies
  • Safer shelters, safe water access, and violence prevention

3. Equal Representation

  • Women and queer leaders in politics, peacebuilding, and decision-making roles
  • Gender balance in leadership and policy-making

4. Stronger Movements

  • Support for feminist organizations and grassroots movements
  • Protection for activists online and offline from anti-rights backlash

5. Cultural and Structural Change

  • Dismantling patriarchal norms and harmful gender stereotypes
  • Community-based gender justice education and male allyship programs

Gender Justice = Poverty Justice

When women and gender-diverse people gain power, whole communities rise.

But during crises—like the COVID-19 pandemic—existing inequalities only deepen. Women take on more unpaid care work face growing hate. The world cannot afford this injustice any longer.
