CREA is a feminist international human rights organization based in the global South and draws upon the inherent value of a rights-based approach to sexuality and gender equality. CREA promotes, protects, and advances human rights and the sexual rights of all people by building leadership capacities of activists and allies; strengthening organizations and social movements; creating and increasing access to new information, knowledge, and resources; and enabling supportive social and policy environments. Impacts take place when shifts occur. To achieve true impact, CREA believes that these shifts are necessary at multiple levels and works in partnership with organizations, networks and movements, individuals activists, practitioners, and leaders with the long-term vision to create a strong global South-based organization that works at local, regional, and international levels. Founded in 2000 in New Delhi, where it is headquartered, it is also registered in New York.
