I am supporting a team to develop a mini-guide on how to improve procurement to benefit women-owned businesses in the country they work in. It's important to shift our focus from global procurement chains and conglomerate corporations to support local businesses and uplift women entrepreneurs. This initiative was inspired by the insightful discussions we had with Mishy Mwanahamisi Singano on the challenges and opportunities in this space. There's still a long way to go, but we're taking a step in the right direction.

"Grounded in feminist movements, women’s and feminist funds are uniquely positioned to support the growth and resilience of feminist collectives, networks and institutions." In our latest article by Anisha Chugh and Sanjana Gaind, read about Women's Fund Asia (WFA)'s work, which is a regional #feminist fund working for the realisation of #HumanRights of all women, girls, #transgender and #intersex persons through feminist grant-making and strategic advocacy for resource justice. They attempt to provide an overview about the feminist funding and resource justice advocacy being undertaken by the women’s and feminist funds. https://lnkd.in/dCYGpAwG

"As this current analysis shows, in 2020, a year of massive social upheaval, feminist funds provided the kind of direct, agile, and movement-grounded funding they have long pioneered."

Empowering Equality: Sharing the Responsibility of Shaping the Future "Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation." — Ruth Bader Ginsburg True equality goes beyond mere words; it requires action and shared responsibility. It is vital for both men and women to collaborate in nurturing and guiding the next generation. By sharing this crucial responsibility, we create a more balanced, fair, and supportive environment for everyone. At God’s Grace and Mercy Community Organization, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable world for all. Let us work together to support and uplift one another, ensuring that every child grows up in a nurturing and balanced environment. Join us in advocating for equality and shared responsibility. Together, we can make a profound impact. #GenderEquality #SharedResponsibility #EmpowerWomen #RuthBaderGinsburg #EqualityForAll #BalancedFuture #SupportEachOther #InclusiveCommunity #NurtureTheFuture #Fairness #CollaborativeGrowth #WomenAndMenTogether #NextGeneration #SocialJustice #EqualityInAction #EqualOpportunity #Empowerment #StrengthInUnity #HelpShapeTheFuture #BeTheChange #FairnessForAll #InclusiveSupport #MakeADifference #TogetherForEquality #nonprofit #NPOSnapshot #ngo.

This is a call out to the government of Ireland from us the young women and girls of Ireland. We are The Shona Project community, and we are calling on you to take action. Because we have had enough of feeling unsafe… Of knowing that walking alone in certain areas and at certain times is not an option for us. Of texting our friends to let us know when they get home safe. Of walking faster past certain groups to avoid drawing attention to ourselves. Of feeling like targets. Of feeling like prey. We are doing everything we can to keep ourselves and each other safe. The National Women's Council, Women's Aid Ireland, and The Shona Project continue to show up and fight for us. There are very many women who are already speaking out, and taking action, but it's time to acknowledge that this isn't for women to fix. It's for ALL of society to fix. It is NOT our responsibility to keep ourselves safe, We are asking YOU our government to show up for us. We need better education, and we need to believe that justice will prevail. Because we are not numbers, we are young women who deserve equality and equity. We are tired of being brave, it’s time for YOU to be brave. We’re standing up and using our voices to demand change, Will you stand with us?? #weneedchange

Women Empowerment Is necessary in Liberia

Observing the impact of community involvement and philanthropy has me considering how these initiatives can be enhanced by resource management. Integrating RM best practices with coaching and the empowerment of women can yield remarkable results. https://lnkd.in/emA3h2Gv #CommunityImpact #ResourceManagement #WomensEmpowerment
