About

Right To Equality is a forward-thinking non profit organisation committed to creating tangible change through legal reform in the UK. Our mission revolves around championing gender equality under the law and advocating for the rights of women and girls. With a focus on reshaping legislation, we strive to build a world where justice and equity are accessible to all, regardless of gender.

We are a voice for all who need us. We work to ensure the safety of women, girls, minorities and LGBTQIA+ individuals, so they can live in a world free from violence. We fight for equality, diversity and justice. Through research, events, training, social media engagement and collaborations, we protect the rights of those who suffer discrimination.

Fighting for gender equality under the law.

We want equality at the heart of our justice system…

But right now we live in an unequal society

Did you know that...?

Abortion is a criminal offence subject to strict exceptions

Public sexual harassment is not a specific criminal offence

The gender pay gap in the UK is 15.4%

Migrant women have no recourse to public funds

Rape has become de-criminalised

Period products are not freely available in England and Wales

We want to live in a world where

Migrant women’s rights are protected

Disabled women are treated with respect and dignity

Victims and survivors are supported and protected through the law

Violence against women and girls is eradicated

Our mission, through policy advocacy, is to highlight inequalities that women and girls and marginalised people suffer in society and raise awareness of the legal protections available to support them. Our research is open access and free to use. We work to educate others about existing rights that protect the most vulnerable in our society. Right to Equality collaborates with other charities to further our mission of gender equality and diversity. We won’t stop until we achieve a society where all women and girls can enjoy equality and fairness.

This is how we will achieve gender equality

Policy advocacy

Justice for all, regardless of race, gender, class, immigration status or disabilities is a global movement and we are part of it. We are passionate about advancing gender equality and diversity through highlighting legal protections that support marginalised people. Still today, women and girls suffer discrimination and oppression. We know that raising awareness of existing laws can make a significant difference to the lives of women and girls. We work to challenge existing structures to achieve radical change.

Research

We research inequalities that women and girls and marginalised people suffer in society. Our research exposes the barriers that many people suffer when trying to access justice. We explore the current legal protections available to support them and examine whether the existing laws work effectively. The results of our research aim to provide better support and advance the protections for those who need it. Through collaborations with not-for-profit organisations and institutions furthering social good, we work to achieve equality and fairness in society and in the justice system.
