To many, March is known as Women’s history month. The eighth of this month is also International Women’s Day. In commemoration of this, today’s charity is the Global Fund for Women.
The Global Fund for Women supports women’s groups with grants. Their mission is to “advance the rights of women and girls worldwide by increasing the resources for and investing in women-led organizations and women’s collective leadership for change.”
This charity provides support in five geographic regions: Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America & the Caribbean, Asia Pacific, Europe & Central Asia, and the Middle East & North Africa. Their widespread funding focuses on six main themes:
- Advancing Health and Sexual and Reproductive Rights
- Building Peace and Ending Gender-Based Violence
- Ensuring Economic and Environmental Justice
- Expanding Civic and Political Participation
- Access to Education
- Fostering Social Change Philanthropy
