We are
Women’s Platform

Women’s Platform connects the women’s sector in Northern Ireland to international networks and human rights mechanisms. Our role is to amplify the voices of women and girls in Northern Ireland at the international level, including at the UN. Locally, we build capacity on international human rights standards to help women and girls in Northern Ireland achieve equality, diversity and full participation in decision making.

Our Purpose

It's our story and yours

Women’s Platform is a feminist membership organisation working to achieve gender equality for women and girls in Northern Ireland and make their voices heard in Northern Ireland heard at national and international level.

Our vision is of a Northern Ireland where women and girls, in all our diversity, can live our lives as we choose, in safety and with dignity, free from misogynistic and patriarchal pressures and stereotypes, and supported by policies that meet our needs.

Join us to explore human rights and the NI Programme for Government!

Thursday 24 October, 1-2pm online 

How does the draft Northern Ireland Programme for Government reflect human rights? And how can we argue for rights based decision making, to support better outcomes for all?

This session is an opportunity to explore how the draft Programme for Government reflects international human rights obligations, and how responses can stress rights based approaches. It will highlight key human rights obligations for the UK, but it will focus on a discussion of rights and policy making.

No expertise is required; this session is designed as a conversation to support discussion around the PfG.
