Prospera International Network of Women's Funds

🌿 As systemic and historical oppressions have kept the Global South and East in a constant state of crisis, women have borne the brunt, resisting through collaboration, resourcefulness and solidarity. Now more than ever, let’s remember the huge impact of our collective power. #8M #internationalwomensday 🎨 Art by wonderful @veraprimavera (https://buff.ly/NgXm8aB) is part of Ignite the Spark, a project by Prospera to collaborate with feminist artists from the Global South and East.

 Panorama is looking forward to attending the Commission on the Status of Women this week!

We are starting to see movement! https://lnkd.in/g6-aw4St MacArthur Foundation I know many Human Rights Funders Network (HRFN) members are working to respond to this unprecedented moment. 🌈 We see you, feminist funds opening emergency response funding for our LGBTQI, feminist, racial justice, #intersectional communities around the world! 👏 We applaud the private foundations that are starting to take a stand — digging deeper, and placing big bets and big money on the table for human rights in this unfathomable rollback. ❤️ We hear you, movements and civic space partners asking for funders to coordinate and share the risk as you do vital, life-saving, world-changing work. 🫶 We are with you, peer funder networks, in collaboration as we organize quickly, effectively, and from a place of justice and care.
