We chose this study because it highlights shocking statistics about how common gender-based assault is in Canada. This report calls for increased awareness on the topic and the implementation of more support for women's safety.

#InvestinWomen #AccelerateProgress Sharing my firsthand experience of how GiveDirectly donations impact women in living in poverty this #internationalwomensday. As a woman born in the rural villages of western Kenya, I watched mothers toiling to make life livable for their children, forgoing the basics to give us access to the little they could. It was not uncommon for women to go hungry or lack decent clothing to give their children a chance to eat and dress. Charities that showed up would often reinforce this desperation rather than relieve it. I saw mothers with babies strapped on their backs scrambling for food handouts when a charity arrived unannounced and disorganized, with a limited supply. Others endured doing hard labor when a program promised a paltry payment for those strong enough to work. After university, I worked on water and sanitation projects, but it wasn’t until 2016 when I took a job implementing GiveDirectly’s basic income study that I understood the unique power of direct cash. Money sent directly to women living in poverty is a promise of courage, control, and choice. Evidence shows women can use cash to improve their health and that of their children, increase savings, start businesses, and attend school. With cash, domestic violence decreases and joint decision-making between wives and husbands increases. That said, unconditional cash is not a silver bullet. Some studies find the positive impacts are more pronounced for men than for women, and in some families, an influx of cash may exacerbate, not reduce, conflict. This is why GiveDirectly continues conducting rigorous research – the more we know about how cash helps, the better we can design our programs. Our goal is to be a valuable partner in the decisions recipients make about their lives. Recently, I visited Mozambique to see how your donations deliver hope to women living in these remote rural communities. Effie explained her decision to send her daughters away for school with pride: they will not get married off at 14 years, bear children when young, and experience gender-based violence as other women in their village have. Rita could not hide her joy! Receiving $40 a month allowed her to resume her HIV antiretroviral treatment. She’d defaulted because she lacked bus fare for the hospital 12 miles away. Now she has hope in living longer and caring for herself and her family. This International Women’s Day, I feel proud to have given dignity and choice to women living in poverty. #InspireInclusion #iwd2024 To learn more, listen to my recent appearance on @Charlie Bressler’s @the Life You can Save podcast:

One in twelve people live in #ExtremePoverty. It’s a cycle that’s hard to break. However, poverty has been cut in half since 1990. Millions have climbed out of extreme hardship, proving that progress, though slow, is possible. We believe that when women thrive, the whole community benefits. That’s why we partner with women. We invest in them and the structures they need to succeed. With training and mentoring, they build #SustainableLivelihoods and transform their futures.

Make It Count: 35 The number to know in social justice this month Aleyamma Mathew Executive Director, The Collective Future Fund “According to the World Health Organization, 35% of women on Earth—1.3 billion people—are sexual violence survivors. In 2019, soon after #MeToo went viral, our grantee the Collective Future Fund launched to increase resources for doing work around racialized, sexualized, and gender-based violence. In 2018, 81% of Black feminist organizations reported that they did not have the resources to meet their goals, and less than 1% of almost $70 billion in money given by foundations globally went to organizations helping Black women and girls. Organizations helping trans people also received less than 1%. The very people who are getting attacked right now are being underfunded. The work that these groups do is deeply connected to the political work that's necessary to build a healthy democracy. We've been able to move almost $20 million in the past four years to support a variety of different approaches to ending gender-based violence. The Collective Future Fund is one of the sole funders of this critical work, and philanthropy has a critical role to play in it.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/epDBy28R #WomensHistoryMonth
