Background Max grant amount: 5,000 USD
FRIDA works toward a future where, among other things, young women and girls live their lives free from violence and poverty, can obtain an education and control decisions about their bodies. FRIDA believes that not only is supporting young women-led initiatives important in itself but that no lasting solutions to the world’s major challenges can be effective if young women are left out. To this end, we envision progressive, multi-generational women’s movements that are strong, effective, well-resourced and that reflect the diversity of women’s rights organizing globally.
Who can apply?
Groups founded or led by young women or transgender youth (under 30 years) that are committed to:
- Advancing and defending women’s rights from a feminist perspective;
- Improving the lives of young women/transgender youth at local, national, regional or international levels;
- Inclusive organizing, collective action and feminist movement building;
- Groups, networks, or collectives based in the Global South (Africa, Asia and the Pacific, The Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean
and Central, Southern, Eastern Europe and Caucuses and Central Asia);
- Groups founded in the past 5 years (i.e. your group was formed between 2009 – 2013).
