Feminist movements are key drivers of transformative and lasting change. Yet they continue to receive just 1% of all gender focused aid. The case for WHY feminist movements need more and better funding has long been made, and is increasingly heard. Now HOW funding moves needs to change.
In the report, AWID and Mama Cash, presents the current landscape of funding for gender equality, acknowledges common constraints that often emerge as challenges for funders wishing to directly resource feminist movement. The report also identifies a number of enabling practices – building blocks – that funders can replicate, scale up, or adapt to overcome some of these constraints; and
present snine case profiles of leading funding programs that succeed in directly funding feminist movements, particularly in the Global South.
