ICAAD

The International Center for Advocates Against Discrimination (ICAAD) combats structural discrimination and promotes human rights norms consistent with public international law. Structural discrimination refers to systems of inequality that provide a social, political, cultural, or economic advantage to a dominant group while furthering barriers of exclusion that make women, girls, and marginalized communities more susceptible to violence and indignity.

By leveraging partnerships, ICAAD brings together passionate multidisciplinary teams of lawyers, data scientists, universities, and design strategists to improve access to justice for women, girls, and vulnerable communities, while strengthening the capacity of civil society and government. ICAAD is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
