We connect local women’s organisations to national and global centres of power — government officials, corporate managers, law enforcement authorities, intergovernmental organisations, multilateral institutions, international monitoring bodies and UN oversight mechanisms — and support them to engage in critical dialogue and hard-hitting evidence-based legal advocacy.
Sisters For Change has a five-step model to global advocacy. By advocating for improved implementation of national laws, reforming discriminatory legislation and increasing resources to combat violence against women, we can ensure that domestic laws and international frameworks to combat violence against women become real at the grassroots.
Since 2015, Sisters For Change has been campaigning for improved UK Government responses to violence against black, Asian and minority ethnic (BME) and migrant women in England, and greater funding of BME VAWG frontline service providers.
Sisters For Change is working to support Commonwealth Governments to reform legacy or outdated laws that discriminate against – or fail to protect – women and girls and LGBT people, or to draft new legislation that ensures equality and equal protection of the law for all.
Sisters For Change has been working to strengthen support structures around women and girl domestic workers in Indonesia by empowering them with knowledge of their rights and domestic laws to prohibit violence and harassment at work.
