Reducing Discrimination and Violence Against Women
Focus AreasRespect for human rights is a building block of rule of law and good governance. In many countries, governments fail to adopt and enforce laws that protect women and otherwise stop practices that discriminate against and harm women. IWP supports initiatives that seek to improve the status of women by:
- Strengthening legal frameworks and enforcement mechanisms that focus on women's rights
- Strengthening civil society's capacity to hold governments accountable to implement laws
- Increasing women's capacity to understand and claim rights
