Grant - Women's Human Rights Defenders (WHRD)

Activities: Women/Gender

Urgent Action Fund supports women’s human rights defenders (or WHRDs) throughout the world. This term is used by the United Nations and many international organizations to highlight the work by activists on the ground.

Categories

Urgent Action Fund makes grants in two categories. To receive a Rapid Response Grant, your proposal must fall under at least one of these categories:

1.Potentially precedent-setting legal or legislative actions, or actions that aim to protect a precedent that has already been set.

2.Protection and security of women human rights defenders. Note that Evacuation Grants fall under this category. Evacuation Grants are designed for women’s human rights activists who are in urgent need of relocation funding because of threats, persecution and/or an extreme security situation. If you wish to apply for an Evacuation Grant, please read the Criteria below, and use the separate Evacuation Grant Application.

Within these categories, you may be working on peace-building, environmental justice, land rights, sex worker rights, LGBTQ rights, reproductive rights, or many other issues.
