This project is part of Canada’s Renewed Women’s Voice and Leadership (RWVL) Program. RWVL supports local and regional women’s rights organizations (WROs), lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex plus (LBTQI+) groups and feminist networks working to promote the rights of women and girls and advance gender equality in developing countries. The renewed program continues to respond to the globally recognized and significant gap in funding and support for WROs and movements worldwide and includes enhanced support for WROs, LBTQI+ organizations, and women human rights defenders working in crisis- and conflict-affected settings and a more intentional approach to reaching structurally excluded groups. This includes but is not limited to LBTQI+ communities, women and girls with disabilities, Indigenous women and girls and young feminists.

This project contributes to increased enjoyment of human rights by women and girls in all their diversity and the advancement of gender equality around the world. Project activities include: (1) Facilitating a global and four regional learning hubs for peer-to-peer learning and knowledge-sharing among WROs, LBTQI+ groups and networks; (2) Strengthening and bridging the capacity of WROs and LBTQI+ groups, particularly with feminist monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL); and (3) Building a body of evidence through lessons learned, stories of change, and analyzing trends around what works and does not work in terms of funding to support women’s movements globally.
