CA-3-P014407001 2026-04-10T06:32:57 This project is part of Canada’s Renewed Women’s Voice and Leadership (RWVL) Program. It supports local and regional women’s rights organizations (WROs), lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex plus (LBTQI+) groups and feminist networks working to promote the rights of women and girls and advance gender equality globally. It provides multi-year core funding and rapid responsive funding, strengthens institutional capacity and bolsters feminist movements, as WROs and feminist movements are critical change agents. The Program continues to respond to the globally recognized and significant gap in funding and support for WROs and feminist movements worldwide. It includes enhanced support for WROs, LBTQI+ organizations, and women human rights defenders (WHRDs) working in crisis- and conflict-affected settings and a more intentional approach to reaching structurally excluded groups. This includes but is not limited to LBTQI+ communities, women and girls with disabilities, Indigenous women and girls and young feminists. This project aims to increase enjoyment of human rights by women and girls, in all their diversity, and advance gender equality around the world. Project activities include: (1) facilitating a global and 4 regional learning hubs for peer-to-peer learning and knowledge-sharing among WROs, LBTQI+ groups and their networks; (2) strengthening and bridging the capacity of WROs and LBTQI+ groups, particularly with feminist monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning; (3) building a body of evidence by gathering lessons learned, stories of change, and trends to highlight what works and does not in terms of funding to support women’s movements globally; and (4) providing organizations new insights into strategies and practical ways to strengthen their programs, advocacy, and organizational sustainability through peer learning and knowledge sharing. This project directly benefits at least 2,200 women’s rights and LBTQI+ organizations across the globe.
