"Sitting at the juncture of compounding crises, the Pacific region faces some of the world’s highest rates of gender-based violence and the lowest levels of women’s political representation – currently averaging just 7% in national parliaments. These Island states are also on the front lines of the climate crisis, where the gendered impacts are severe and far-reaching. Yet, in the face of these struggles, Pacific women’s movements stand out for their resilience and impact." The Pacific Feminist Fund is proud of the work that we're engaged in via ResourceFULL Collective, along with the amazing #feminists at Urgent Action Fund, Asia & Pacific and International Women's Development Agency (IWDA) in championing ‘gender transformative giving,’ and raising awareness among Australian philanthropists about the critical role of #feminist movements in the #Pacific

On the last day of the #ClimateICJAO hearings, the ICJ heard a powerful speech from Vishal Prasad, our director, who called on the judges to act as wayfinders to direct the world towards a future that will protect homes, uphold human rights and preserve dignity 🌏⚖️ #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ
Care is one of our principles and collective care is our practice at the Urgent Action Sister Funds 🪴
Recognizing the need for care among feminist activists is critical. At Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism, we know that feminist activists working tirelessly on the frontlines need more than funding. This was evident in 2023, as many of the activists we supported were facing trauma and burnout from constantly being exposed to crisis situations. That's why our grants went beyond immediate needs and included resources for self-care, mental health support, and mutual aid initiatives. See how the activists we work with are nurturing resilience and collective care within feminist movements: https://lnkd.in/e9j4bFAR
