WFA provides sustainable, flexible resources and opportunities essential to supporting the leadership of women, girls, trans, and intersex people in bringing progressive change from within their communities. In a little over a decade, WFA has disbursed more than USD 17.6 million to support more than 1,060 initiatives for women, girls, trans, and intersex people across Asia by providing opportunities for learning and networking, technical and fiscal support, and leadership in change-making. We now fund feminist human rights work across more than 18 countries in Asia.
Strengthening Feminist Movements - OPEN
The Strengthening Feminist Movements (SFM) programme is dedicated to supporting local and national women, girls, trans and intersex rights activists and organisations through flexible funding that can be used to provide both programmatic and institutional support.
Leading from the South - CLOSED
Leading from the South (LFS) is a special initiative led by four women’s funds - African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF), Fondos de Mujeres del Sur (FMS), the International Indigenous Women’s Forum (FIMI-AYNI) and WFA. The LFS programme was created to support activism and implementation led by women, girls, trans, and intersex rights organisations in the global South, and has been supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of The Netherlands since 2016.
Emergency Solidarity Strategy
The Emergency and Crisis Solidarity Strategy responds to the increasingly volatile context facing women, girls, trans, intersex and other groups in Asia. We stand in solidarity with women, girls, trans, and intersex activists and groups living through complex emergencies and crises, whether it is a single event or a series of events, ranging from natural disasters to sudden conflicts or any other occurrence.
Linking and Learning
Linking and Learning (L&L) grants are focused on individual activists and feminist groups to support their participation and engagement in global and regional advocacy, movement building, and networking spaces. In the last year, we have continued providing L&L grants to feminist activists and organisations from the region and have focused on using our presence in global feminist spaces to facilitate learning exchanges.
