Building on the achievements/impact of our 1st FundHer Report, Where is the Money for Women’s Rights? Assessing the resources and the role of donors in the promotion of women's rights and the support of women's rights organizations, this report probes deeper into fundamental questions related to resource mobilization and movement-building. How are women’s organizations and movements growing worldwide? Why do we need strong women’s movements and organizations? Where is the money for women’s rights? How should we mobilize new resources to build stronger feminist movements in order to advance women’s rights worldwide?
The Report is second in a series of publications resulting from AWID's multi-year action research initiative Where is the Money for Women's Rights?, set up to not only offer insights and strategies for achieving a significant increase in access to and amount of funding available to support women's rights work, but also to improve the effectiveness of women's organizations to raise more funds and utilize them to build stronger movements and progress gender equality globally.

WOMEN & GIRLS - ECONOMICS -
POWER - DEVELOPMENT - HUMAN RIGHTS
WOMEN'S & GIRLS'
PROGRAMS VITALLY NEED SUPPORT
To see how governments, insitutions,
associations, + value women's program/legislation/project support
FOLLOW THE
FUNDING - $$$.
Women can learn to LOBBY and use
VOTING POWER and POLITICAL CLOUT to support their causes.
Women comprise 70% of the world's
poorest citizens, which creates compounded victimization, lack of influence,
and fewer quality of life choices. This MUST change!
Collective women's activities,
women's movements, lobbying, advocacy, collaborations, Shadow Reports,
media directed to women's issues, can make powerful influences.
Women have consumer buying power of
half the population.
We best pay attention to Budget
Gender Analyses, and BEFORE budgets are adopted.
In the US, according to The
Independent Sector, most individual donations, the bulk of philanthropic
giving, comes from older, white men; and these donors tend to favor groups that
are more conservative and offer greater benefit to men and boys. Women-driven
philanthropy is growing and needs to be directed to gender programs.
Women are not only paid less money
than men, but they frequently do not control their own money.
In many parts of the world, women
support traditional charities but not women's non-profits, as this sector has
not developed or been promoted, or linked to women of means.
In the US, women under age 45 are
the fastest growing group of donors to progressive and feminist groups, and
their generosity tends to be greater than that of young men. Source: The
Feminist Majority
We must as women, DEMAND resources
from our communities if we are to be active and successful in community social
change movements. We must provide facts and strong proposals; we must
persevere....
If changing the status of
women and girls is a priority, it must be FUNDED. Laws for women's and girls'
social programs must have BUDGETS, and adequate budgets, or they will just stay
on paper. And the implementation must lead to results and accountability.
We need to define our ASSETS vs. our
needs, and assert leverage from funding influencers and move into power in
leadership, foundations, positions that control the funds our programs deserve
and require.
We need to set our campaign goals
high, high enough to achieve our goals, and not rely on scarcity or mediocre
capital.
Social responsibility of
corporations and business can be marketed by women's organizations, with
skillful strategies and connections.
Keep sharing ideas and strategies on
mobilizing WOMEN - POWER - ECONOMICS - WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT - HUMAN RIGHTS OF
WOMEN AND GIRLS.
