In West and Central Africa, the fight for #SafeAbortion is not just about access—it’s about shifting power to local movements.  Global Fund for Women’s West and Central Africa Abortion Rights “Movement Committee” is made up of eight partners from Benin, Cameroon, Guinea, and Côte d’Ivoire, collectively directing $1.2 million in grants to fund abortion rights in their communities. Your support will help sexual and reproductive justice movements. Join us in the fight for justice, equity, and human rights.

Launched at #AWIDForum2024 “Kaleidoscope: Reclaiming Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights and Justice for All” initiative by the Kaleidoscope Collective, Ankit Gupta our Program Officer, Global Partnerships at Global Fund for Women, participated with our partners in a lively discussion around flexible and sustainable funding for feminist movements on changing health systems, supporting legislative change, connecting activists across borders, and strengthening movements for collective action. 

What works for feminist philanthropy and participatory grantmaking for movements? What doesn’t? Why does it matter? At Monday’s” Talking Money: Who has it, who needs it, and how do we move it?” event, PeiYao Chen, Global Fund for Women’s President and CEO, discussed the barriers that keep feminist groups from accessing donor funding.   “Most of our funding are general support grants without strings attached and we also prioritize funding to organizations that have a harder time accessing international funding” PeiYao Chen, Global Fund for Women’s President and CEO, centered the discussion on identifying ways to shift these barriers and highlight areas where further work is needed to improve access and support for feminist initiatives. This conversation aims to identify ways to shift these barriers and highlight areas where further work is needed to improve access and support for feminist initiatives.     Organization/Collective Name: Alliance for Feminist Movements    #AWIDForum2024
