Description:
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) and feminist networks working to promote the rights of women and girls and advance gender equality in developing countries. Understanding that WROs and their networks are critical change agents, the Program provides multi-year core funding and rapid responsive funding to strengthen institutional capacity and bolster feminist alliances. The Program continues to respond to the globally recognized and significant gap in funding and support for WROs and movements worldwide. It recognizes that those groups working at intersecting forms of discrimination and in crisis- and conflict-affected countries are funded even less. The Renewed WVL Program includes enhanced support for WROs 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 women and girls with disabilities, Indigenous women and girls and young feminists.
