The Coalition of Feminists for Social Change (COFEM) is an advocacy collective of thought leaders, activists, practitioners and academics working globally to end violence against women and girls (VAWG). COFEM was formed in 2017 to create a feminist space for those working on VAWG to critically engage with, and collectively address, the challenges in VAWG work.
