About Women’s Link

We are an intersectional feminist, anti-racist, anti-colonial, anti-ableist, and Global South-led organization, working with and for the feminist movement in Latin America and the Caribbean, East Africa, and Europe. We proudly work with more than 60 national partners across those regions and 40 regional and global coalitions and networks.

We strengthen and transform the feminist strategic litigation ecosystem to break down barriers, challenge oppressive systems, and alter power imbalances by breaking the walls of the legal sphere and bringing in those left out.

Central to our method is an intersectional approach applied through legal strategies that secure rights for women, girls, and gender-diverse people. Our priorities are gender and reproductive justice, especially access to safe and dignified abortion, and prevention of gender-based violence. Climate and racial justice are intricately linked to our work on sexual and reproductive rights and gender-based violence.
