This project is part of Canada’s Renewed Women’s Voice and Leadership (WVL) Program. It 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 Global South countries. The Program responds to the globally recognized and significant gap in funding and support for WROs and movements worldwide.

This project will complement the renewed WVL program to strengthen women’s organizations and feminist movements, including WVL partners’ engagement with the feminist funding ecosystem. Project activities include: 1) Developing a membership engagement strategy; 2) Providing online training to increase knowledge of the funding landscape; 3) Organizing in-person convenings to be co-developed with participants; and 4) Conducting an annual flagship event during the Commission on the Status of Women meetings featuring WROs and donors in dialogue together.
