Overview
This supplemental grant supports the Global Fund for Women to strengthen the meaningful inclusion and strategic participation of grassroots feminist activists and women’s rights organizations in the Generation Equality Forum action coalitions. The inclusion and participation of these particular civil society leaders aim to maximize the impact of the Generation Equality Forum and ensure that priorities and commitments to advance gender justice are co-created with those most affected. These mobilizing efforts will inform subsequent work by feminist movements to establish accountability mechanisms for private and public sector commitments to advance women’s rights and gender justice.

The Global Fund for Women has been a catalyst in the global women’s rights movement since 1987. By mobilizing nearly $85 million from more than 20,000 individuals and institutions, it has been able to provide grants to 4,200 groups in 171 countries. In 2010 alone, the Global Fund’s efforts reached 125,000 women and girls and benefited thousands more. In recognition of the appointment of the Global Fund for Women’s new CEO, Dr. Musimbi Kanyoro, this unrestricted funding would allow the organization to continue to advance women’s rights by making grants that support and strengthen women’s groups around the world.
