May 20, 2026 - Sep 30, 2030

This project is part of Canada’s Renewed Women’s Voice and Leadership (RWVL) 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 globally. It provides multi-year core funding and rapid responsive funding, strengthens institutional capacity and bolsters feminist movements, as WROs and feminist movements are critical change agents. The Program continues to respond to the globally recognized and significant gap in funding and support for WROs and feminist movements worldwide. It includes enhanced support for WROs, LBTQI+ organizations, and women human rights defenders (WHRDs) 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 is implemented by the PEKKA Foundation, a national women’s right organisation in Indonesia, and aims to reach approximately 16,500 women and girls that are members of the PEKKA Unions in 44 districts across the country. It seeks to equip members with the necessary skills, resources and support to strengthen their ability to effectively advocate for women's rights and drive sustainable social change. Using a livelihoods lens, PEKKA Foundation aims to provide targeted workshops, technical assistance, mentorship programs and leadership training using technology to support its Union members in their advocacy work.
