Our Work

The WHRDIC is the only global coalition to promote and protect the rights of WHRDs.

We do grassroots-driven international advocacy aimed at protection mechanisms, laws and policies that provide justice for WHRDs and feminist activists. We take collective action to amplify the voices of WHRDs, build international solidarity, and support defenders to carry out their work free from threats and violence.

Strategic Directions

These are: Knowledge production and sharing; Grassroots-driven international advocacy; Urgent appeals and solidarity actions; Amplification of WHRD voices.
