About Us

Women's Human Rights Campaign (WHRC) is a group of volunteer women from across the globe dedicated to protecting women's sex-based rights. Our volunteers include academics, writers, organizers, activists, and health practitioners, and aim to represent the total breadth of the human female experience.

The Declaration on Women's Sex Based Rights was created by the founders of WHRC to lobby nations to maintain language protecting women and girls on the basis of sex rather than "gender" or "gender identity". Read our FAQ here.

We are a female-only group, and men are invited to support the cause by donating at our GoFundMe page here or directly through our bank account using the details below. We can accept donations in UK pounds sterling, Euros or US/Australian/New Zealand dollars - please read our How to Donate guide here.
