Feminist organizations work across movements and siloes to advance women’s and LGBTQI+ rights. They address multiple issues that impact the daily lives and well-being of women, girls, and gender expansive people. “For women supporting the long-term well-being of their families, communities, and culture, environmental protection and women’s rights are not distinct “funding silos”—they are what need to happen in order to survive and thrive.”- Our Voices, our Environment: The state of funding for women’s environmental action. Environmental degradation, climate migration, and resource shortages disproportionately affect women and other structurally excluded groups, intensifying their vulnerabilities. Yet, women, girls, and gender-expansive people are not only victims but also leaders in climate action, playing major roles in emergency responses to disasters, developing gender-responsive climate solutions, and building alternatives for just transitions. 💪🏽🌱 Learn more: https://buff.ly/4eRlh9N

💚 2023 was the year of humanity in crisis. The year that defied all codes of morality, ethics, and ways of living together on this planet. The year countless children were killed, orphaned, disabled, and traumatised by war, while the world silently watched. The year people from underrepresented regions reminded us that conflict and war exists in their lands too - and that their struggles are being ignored and erased. 💙 In this reality, 'crisis' has taken on a whole new meaning. It has become a constant state of existence. For us in philanthropy, it has raised difficult and existential questions. It has emphasised what we always knew - that some geographies (and therefore, people) are so radical that they are either erased or forgotten. Yet, they rise, resist, and persist. 💛 In 2023, the Asia and Pacific regions faced their own silent crises - ones that did not make it to the headlines, and ones from previous years (such as in Afghanistan and Myanmar) that entered the longer arc of crisis. For women, trans, and non-binary people in these countries, life became very challenging, and UAF A&P reminded the world about their reality and the need for continued support. ❤️ While our Annual Learning Report 2023 offers a glimpse into everything we have done and learnt in 2023, our Co-Leads, Vinita Sahasranaman and Virisila Buadromo share four mantras that we have embraced in 2024. 🧡 We offer these in the hope that they provide respite, and perhaps even a spot of laughter, to all those who are on their own leadership voyages. 🍷 Read here with a beverage of your choice: https://lnkd.in/g39PFx9r

Since October, we've distributed over $183,000 to women, trans, and non-binary activists who are courageously addressing the humanitarian crisis resulting from genocide in Palestine.

As global shifts intensify, the fight for womn’s rights is more critical than ever. We are in #Uganda for an outreach mission to listen, learn, and act. In a year where we received the highest number of grant applications from Uganda, the resilience and power of the Ugandan womn’s movement shine through. The womn are not just defending their rights—they are leading the charge in holistic security and redefining philanthropy on their terms.
