We invite you to join us in Building an Equal Future at our annual fundraising gala. The CEDAW Women's Human Rights Awards honor leaders and organizations who use their public roles to advance the rights of women and girls.  Awards are given for leadership demonstrated in diverse sectors of the community including education, entrepreneurship, government, health, media, labor, and philanthropy.

Gather your friends and colleagues to form a table or encourage your organization or company to demonstrate their commitment to gender equality by sponsoring the event. Proceeds go towards supporting the work of the San Francisco Commission and Department on the Status of Women and programs like the FREE Salary Negotiation Workshops for women.
