Women’s Rights Are Human Rights.
Fighting For A Feminist Future.
Who We Are
The Canadian Feminist Alliance for International Action (FAFIA) is committed to ensuring that human rights guaranteed in international law are fully implemented and enjoyed by all women in Canada.
What We Do
FAFIA holds Canadian governments to account for their commitments and obligations to women’s human rights, through research, advocacy, treaty body reporting and public education.
Our Impact
Human Rights Implementation
FAFIA engages with United Nations treaty bodies, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and federal, provincial and territorial governments to ensure that Canada complies with its obligations to women under international human rights law. Starting in 1995, FAFIA’s many reports and interventions address issues of violence against women, access to justice, economic security, and Indian Act sex discrimination, among others.
Partnerships & Alliances
FAFIA partners with feminist and human rights organizations across Canada to strengthen and support our feminist movement and ground our analysis in human rights law and in the diverse lived experiences of women.
A Leading National Women’s Advocacy Organization
FAFIA engages with Canadian governments on women’s human rights issues, leveraging our research and expertise to ensure that international human rights standards are incorporated into domestic law, policy and programming.
