Inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2026, Mona Sinha has built her career at the intersection of law, equity, and global change—working to ensure that where a girl is born does not determine her rights or her future.  As Chief Executive Officer of Equality Now, Ms.Sinha leads worldwide efforts to reform laws that discriminate against women and girls, helping drive changes to more than 135 laws across the globe.  With more than 25 years of experience spanning philanthropy, advocacy, and social enterprise, Ms. Sinha has worked alongside governments, nonprofits, and grassroots leaders to turn bold ideas into measurable progress.  Over the course of her career, she has supported more than 90 organizations advancing social justice—strengthening movements and amplifying voices often left unheard. A trusted leader and coalition builder, she has served as Board Chair of Women Moving Millions and the Equal Rights Amendment Coalition, helping mobilize resources and momentum for gender equity, and she continues to shape the global conversation through advisory roles with the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum, Columbia University’s Tamer Institute of Social Enterprise, and the Reykjavík Global Forum.  Ms. Sinha’s leadership has earned her recognition from Forbes and Apolitical, and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
