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.

Who has rights, why does it matter, and what can we do with international frameworks? The language can be confusing, but rights don’t need to be!
This training session will introduce the UN international human rights framework, and look at the key concepts and how they link to Northern Ireland. It is designed to start a discussion, and look at what further training will help women and girls in Northern Ireland claim and advocate for their rights most effectively.
