About  [Edit]

The Global Fund for Women is an international network of women and men committed to a world of equality and social justice. We advocate for and defend women's human rights by making grants to support women's groups around the world.

 

http://www.globalfundforwomen.org/cms/images/stories/1findout/about/network.jpgWe are part of a global women`s movement that is rooted in a commitment to justice and an appreciation of the value of women`s experience. The challenges women face vary widely across communities, cultures, religions, traditions, and countries.

 

We believe that women should have a full range of choices, and that women themselves know best how to determine their needs and propose solutions for lasting change. The way in which we do our work is as important as what we do. This philosophy is reflected in our flexible, respectful, and responsive style of grantmaking.

 

The Global Fund makes grants to seed, strengthen and link women`s rights groups based outside the United States working to address human rights issues that include:

  • Ending Gender-Based Violence and Building Peace
  • Ensuring Economic and Environmental Justice
  • Advancing Health and Sexual and Reproductive Rights
  • Expanding Civic and Political Participation
  • Increasing Access to Education
  • Fostering Social Change Philanthropy

Since 1987 we have awarded over $71 million to 3,800 women's organizations in 167 countries, enabling each organization to apply the funds to best address the specific needs of women in their communities. In fiscal year 2007–2008, the Global Fund for Women increased its overall grant making by 5% from $8.27 million to $8.67 million. The Global Fund for Women’s financial position remained strong with a net asset balance of approximately $21 million at fiscal year end.

This is a great organization helping women, help women around the world.  Gender violence or sexual violence as a weapon of war MUST be addressed and stopped.  Education is the key to awareness.
