Stichting Women's Initiatives For Gender Justice

Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice is an international feminist organisation working to advance gender justice through the law, with a particular focus on international criminal law and accountability for gender-based harm.

We work to ensure that international justice systems recognise the full scope of gender-based violence and discrimination, and that survivors and communities most affected by harm are able to shape justice processes, from how crimes are defined, to how accountability and reparations are pursued.

Our work sits at the intersection of international criminal law, feminist legal analysis, and collective action. We combine deep legal expertise with sustained engagement alongside survivors, civil society, and justice institutions to address gaps where gender-based harm has been overlooked, mischaracterised, or excluded.

Our work

Legal Research and Analysis

We provide rigorous legal analysis and monitoring of international and domestic laws, policies, jurisprudence, and accountability processes.

Our research supports more accurate recognition of gender-based harm and informs legal standards, prosecutions, and reparations.

Advocacy and Campaigns

We engage directly with international courts, policymakers, and justice processes to promote gender-competent, survivor-informed approaches to accountability for sexual and gender-based crimes.

Our campaigns respond to concrete gaps in law and practice and support sustained change beyond individual cases or moments.

Solidarity and Networking Building

We work in solidarity with survivors, feminist organisations, and civil society networks, using our access and position to support power-sharing, safe participation, and collective action.

We convene grassroots expertise and international justice institutions, ensuring that lived experience informs decision-making.

Stichting Blijf Groep

Our mission is to help people to end domestic violence. We firmly believe that we can achieve this objective by engaging as many stakeholders as possible. Our focus is to end the violence as much as possible in people's own homes, using their strengths and within their own circles.
We stand for a sustainable approach to violence and the creation of the right conditions for safety and recovery.
