EnGendeRights has a long track record in championing the rights to equality and non-discrimination of women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ) persons through its domestic and international legal and policy work, research, publication, training, and impact litigation.  EnGendeRights has actively advocated for the adoption of laws, policies, and even international conventions and regional human rights mechanisms upholding the rights of women and rights based on sexual orientation, gender identity, expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC).  EnGendeRights has done groundbreaking work raising Filipino women’s and SOGIE concerns using United Nations mechanisms through shadow reports and the request for inquiry on reproductive rights violations in the Philippines submitted to the CEDAW Committee working closely with various domestic and international organizations.

EnGendeRights uses a rights-based approach to advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights, repeal of discriminatory laws and policies against women and LGBTIQ persons, and the passage of laws and policies upholding LGBTIQ rights including anti-discrimination laws and ordinances, gender identity recognition, and marriage equality.  EnGendeRights has various trailblazing resources available at LGBTIQLaw.com and engenderights.com.
