Coalitions
Advancing gender justice in international criminal law cannot be done by any single organisation.
Change requires collective effort, shared expertise, and sustained coordination across movements, regions, and areas of practice.
Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice works in coalition to strengthen accountability for gender-based violence, support survivor-informed approaches, and address gaps in international justice. Through coalitions, we contribute legal expertise, convening capacity, and institutional access, while learning from and supporting the leadership of others.
Our coalition work is grounded in collaboration, power-sharing, and respect for diverse forms of expertise. We engage with coalitions not to duplicate work, but to strengthen collective impact and ensure that gender justice perspectives are integrated across accountability efforts.
Key coalitions and networks
Global Initiative Against Impunity (GIAI)
We are part of the Global Initiative Against Impunity, a coalition of civil society organisations working to strengthen accountability for international crimes.
Through GIAI, we contribute gender justice expertise to collective advocacy and analysis aimed at closing impunity gaps and supporting survivor-centred accountability.

Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC)
Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice hosts the Secretariat of the Coalition for the International Criminal Court, a global civil society network advocating for a strong, effective, and independent ICC.
In this role, we support coordination, information-sharing, and civil society engagement with the Court and its Assembly of States Parties, including on gender justice issues.

Women Human Rights Defenders in International Criminal Law (WHRD-IC)
We work with the WHRD-IC network to support women human rights defenders engaging with international criminal law and accountability mechanisms. The network provides space for connection, mutual support, and collective reflection among advocates navigating complex and often challenging legal and political environments.
