The Women's Human Rights Institute (WHRI) is an organization dedicated to promoting and supporting women's human rights around the world. Through their capacity-building programs, they empower women's human rights defenders from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to work within an international women's human rights framework. The WHRI offers three core programs: the Women's Human Rights Education Institute (WHRI Intensive), the CEDAW for Change Institute, and the CEDAW Indígena collaborative institutes.

These programs provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed to understand and apply the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in their activism, training, and organizations. Led by internationally recognized feminist jurists, NGO activists, and educators, the WHRI's programs cater to a wide range of participants, including NGO workers, women's human rights defenders, activists, lawyers, judges, educators, trauma counselors, social workers, and researchers. No prior knowledge of the UN system or international law is required, as the WHRI has an inclusive philosophy that welcomes all individuals with a demonstrated commitment to the realization of women's human rights.
