About The Equality Effect

The Equality Effect (e) is an innovative charitable organization that brings together leading human rights experts to conduct ground-breaking legal work that advances girls' and women's human rights and empowerment. We develop and implement legal solutions to girls' and women's inequality, including eliminating impunity for rape, through the development of equality research and the implementation of practical equality initiatives in the areas of public legal education, policy reform, and test case litigation. Using international, inter-disciplinary teams, e creates systemic change that disrupts the existing discriminatory status quo.

Last year we celebrated the 10th anniversary of our 160 Girls legal victory. This project has set the highwater mark in securing access to justice for the 160 Girls that inspired the adoption of the case, and legal protection from rape for all 10,000,000 girls in Kenya. In 2017, The 160 Girls project was recognized by the United Nations as an international best practice for advancing women's rights and empowerment.
