Featured advocacy Organization:
Global Center for Women & Justice
The Global Center for Women & Justice equips students to examine and address issues affecting the global status of women and vulnerable populations through REACH (Research, Education, Collaboration, and evidence-informed Advocacy grounded in Hope). Housed within Vanguard University of Southern California, GCWJ examines injustice, human trafficking, migration, and related issues affecting vulnerable populations through interdisciplinary academic programs, applied and policy-relevant research, survivor-informed advocacy, and educational initiatives that contribute to prevention, protection, and accountability efforts at local, national, and global levels.
Among many programs and projects, GCWJ provides students with a theoretical and practical foundation through the inter-disciplinary Women and Justice Minor and Anti Human Trafficking Certificate at Vanguard University. Through the Safe Communities; Safe Kids project, trained Vanguard University college students provide essential education on human trafficking, online safety, and healthy relationships to K12 students. GCWJ also engages in multiple collaborative partnerships with County Juvenile Justice Courts, the Salvation Army, County Anti-Trafficking Task Forces, and other non-profit organizations and government agencies.
Study the issues. Be a voice. Make a difference.

Featured Publication:
Delivering as one: United Nations system progress on ending violence against women and girls (2019–2024)
This publication provides an overview of how the United Nations system has advanced global efforts to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls over the past five years. Drawing from the contributions of 36 UN entities, this publication documents the UN system’s role in advancing global norms and standards, with notable developments in violence in the work environment, technology-facilitated violence, conflict-related sexual violence, and harmful practices. It showcases how collaborative initiatives—such as the Spotlight Initiative and the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women—have mobilized resources, strengthened laws and policies, expanded access to survivor-centred services, scaled up prevention efforts, and improved data and evidence.
At the same time, the publication underscores persistent gaps, including uneven implementation of laws, limited financing, fragmented prevention efforts, data challenges, and growing backlash against gender equality. It emphasizes the central role of women’s rights organizations and feminist movements in driving sustainable change and calls for the UN system to deepen coordination, strengthen accountability, invest in evidence-based interventions at scale, and reinforce locally led, whole-of-society approaches to end violence against women and girls.
