🔎 What if the world understood crises through the lens of feminist leaders on the frontlines? Thanks to the Equality Fund, a collaborative fund that moves flexible, abundant, and unrestricted funding to feminist movements, we are now better informed on feminist responses to crises and insights from across the Global South. 🌟 Unfolding the Tapestry: Weaving Themes and Strategies of Feminist Crisis Response focuses on crisis responses led by activists, organizations, and movements on the ground, working at the intersections of climate and environment, civic space, human rights, democracy, LGBTQI+ and women’s rights, and Indigenous Peoples.

Happy #internationalwomensday2024! Today, our call of action is for funders to reflect on what it means to effectively resource feminist movements to End Violence Against Women. So what does a feminist approach to grantmaking look like? Feminist Sloth guides funders to: 🌻 Support efforts to address intersecting structures of oppression that lead to VAWG. 🌻 Fund programmes that centre women and girls in their diversity and prioritise accountability to them. 🌻 Promote research grounded in feminist approaches and methods. 🌻 Increase funding for feminist-led VAWG programmes and advocacy that address the root cause of violence and Redefine the donor-grantee relationship. 🌻 Redefine the donor-grantee relationship. 🌻 Fund self and collective care initiatives.

Indigenous Women have tirelessly mobilized in the fight for their rights. This mobilization was strengthened by the Beijing Declaration of Indigenous Women in 1995. Today, providing resources for Indigenous Women is an essential priority to reduce inequalities and close the existing gap. In the recent presentation of the reports "Global Funding Trend Analysis on Indigenous Peoples Philanthropy” and “Leaders and Stewards: Global Analysis of Funding to Indigenous Women" by International Funders for Indigenous Peoples and FIMI - Foro Internacional de Mujeres Indígenas, the urgent need to support Indigenous Women was emphasized.

💥MELINDA FRENCH GATES DONATED $1B TO SCALE WOMEN'S POWER GLOBALLY. “Because I have been given this extraordinary opportunity, I am determined to do everything I can to seize it and to set an agenda that helps other women and girls set theirs, too,” she wrote in an op-ed Tuesday. "We know that economies with women’s full participation have more room to grow," she explained. "That women’s political participation is associated with decreased corruption. That peace agreements are more durable when women are involved in writing them. That reducing the time women spend in poor health could add as much as $1 trillion to the global economy by 2040." Investing in women, especially in Emerging Markets, is crucial for building the New Economy. This investment will foster a resilient, fair, and sustainable future. On behalf of all women, thank you Melinda.
