The UN Trust Fund Program to End Violence Against Women (UN Trust Fund) has opened its 26th funding cycle. Looking for suggestions for projects to reduce violence against women and girls led by civil society and driven by demand.
In addition, this year’s Call includes a special focus on ending violence against women and girls in the context of protracted crises, supporting organizations working in these settings through initiatives that cater to the unique needs of at-risk and violent-victims-victims, especially those who run the risk of exclusion and marginalization.
They will only consider submissions from civil society organizations (CSOs), particularly women’s rights organizations (WROs), who have specific knowledge, expertise, and a history of working to end violence against women and girls. Applications from grass-roots, women’s organizations, women’s rights organizations, and organizations run by women will receive priority consideration.
In response to this Call for Proposals, they are adopting a two-pronged strategy. On the one hand, they encourage all organizations to improve their organizational resilience and preparedness in order to effectively address violence against women and girls both before and after a crisis occurs
