Call for Proposals: 2021-2022 Strengthening Feminist Movements (Due Date: 2 April 2021, 12 midnight, Sri Lanka time)
Introduction:

The common threads that run through the grants under this programme are:
- promoting feminist principles and a rights-based perspective in women, girls, trans, and intersex rights work in the region, the key components of which are decision making, agency, and voice;
- strengthening the leadership of women, girls (ages 18-24), trans, and intersex people, especially second-line leadership; and
- networking and collaborations among groups and activists working at local, subnational, and national levels.
Priorities
WFA will prioritize supporting applications submitted by:
- Those working towards strengthening movements to realise and sustain their rights
- Those working in difficult contexts and/or have limited access to resources
- Those using feminist, right-based, and intersectional approaches in their work
