The Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice is an international women’s human rights organisation that advocates for gender justice through the International Criminal Court (ICC) and through domestic mechanisms, including peace negotiations and justice processes.

We work with women most affected by the conflict situations under investigation by the ICC, and collaborate with grassroots partners and associates across multiple conflict areas. Survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) inform the voice of  Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice.
