Dear John, 
 

In 2022, the world witnessed a dramatic erosion of the rights and freedoms of women and girls, including in Afghanistan, Iran, Ukraine, the US, and many other nations. It was a striking reminder of the precarity of hard-fought progress and one that underscored the importance and value of lasting legal reform in unlocking the potential of generations of women and girls.

For more than a decade, my predecessor Yasmeen Hassan harnessed the power of legal reform to advance a bold vision and a vital body of work to improve millions of lives in every corner of the world. It was with immense gratitude for her leadership and perseverance that I took up the torch as Equality Now’s Global Executive Director at the end of 2022. 
 

At Equality Now, we believe that legal equality is critical for achieving gender equality and creating a better world for everyone.

Our Impact in 2022

In 2022, we continued to call out discriminatory laws and set better precedents through strategic litigation while stepping up our focus on collaboration by bringing diverse partners together around common causes, amplifying grassroots efforts and giving those most profoundly affected by inequality a more powerful collective voice. 

We are proud of everything we achieved in 2022.

As I lead Equality Now into the next phase of its journey, I hope you will join me in celebrating our progress in 2022 while looking ahead with renewed hope and determination as we continue to strive for a just and equal world – for everyone.
 

In solidarity,

S. Mona Sinha
Global Executive Director, Equality Now
