The International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization of more than 4,000 members at all judicial levels in 87 nations. Since forming in 1991, the IAWJ has united women judges from diverse legal-judicial systems who share a commitment to equal justice and the rule of law.

Founded in 1993 as the educational arm of the IAWJ, the International Women Judges Foundation (IWJF) developed and financed educational and public service programs that addressed legal and judicial problems affecting women and children. During 2002 the two organizations reorganized, and by the beginning of 2003 they began to operate under the single name of the International Association of Women Judges.

Through pioneering judicial education programs and worldwide collaboration, the IAWJ is working to advance human rights, eliminate discrimination on the basis of gender and make courts accessible to all.
