Urgent Action Fund - Rising Up in Response: Women's Rights Activism in Conflict


	Researchers have found information about women’s activism in conflict situations to be difficult to obtain. Yet Urgent Action Fund regularly hears from women living in and responding to every stage of conflict. UAF believes it is important that this information be analyzed and used to help women’s human rights activists better understand the issues women in conflict face, the power and skills they bring to bear, and how UAF’s rapid response grants program can better support their work.

	As international actors responding to conflict, it is our responsibility to reach out to women activists and to strengthen their capacity to conduct their critical work in safety. This means working in partnership with them, providing rapid assistance and accessible and practical resources and tools.
	It is hoped that this study will stimulate a constructive dialogue between activists and international actors that, ultimately, will improve the way in which we respond to conflict … together.
