The International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization of more than 4,000 members at all judicial levels in 87 nations. Since forming in 1991, the IAWJ has united women judges from diverse legal-judicial systems who share a commitment to equal justice and the rule of law. The IAWJ believes that women judges are in a unique position to impact the rights of women through the judicial system, and to protect and empower women throughout the world. These judges operate on the premise that through the exercise of informed and united leadership, women judges can be catalysts for social transformation. Through pioneering judicial education programs and worldwide collaboration, the IAWJ is working to advance human rights, eliminate discrimination on the basis of gender and make courts accessible to all.
