Women's Initiatives for Gender Justice
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 and communities most affected by armed conflict with a focus on countries with situations under investigation by the ICC.

OUR VISION AND MISSION
International justice systems still mirror the inequalities they seek to address. Patriarchal and colonial structures shape how harm is defined, whose voices are heard, and whose justice counts. Survivors—especially women, LGBTQI+ persons, and others facing intersecting oppression—continue to be excluded from meaningful accountability.
Too often, the law focuses narrowly on violence, overlooking the wider spectrum of gender-based harm—from reproductive violations to institutional discrimination. Power and resources remain concentrated in the Global North, sidelining feminist leadership and lived expertise from affected communities.
Without transformation, international law risks reinforcing injustice instead of repairing it.

“We will continue to relentlessly advocate for the proper recognition of the lived experiences of victims of atrocity crimes, leveraging the power of the law to ensure justice for all.”
