Mission
We mobilize financial, political and technical resources to give grants and offer close accompaniment to feminist groups and engaged feminist scholars in the MENA region. We work to ensure they have the necessary resources to sustain and develop their activism, identify and determine their priorities independently, produce homegrown knowledge by and for their movements and advocate for the rights of all women and LGBTQ+ individuals and groups in their countries.
Independent feminist groups in the MENA region are at the forefront of the fight for justice and equality for all women and LGBTQ+ individuals and organisations. These vibrant and active groups are often under-resourced and sidelined by various forces and ideologies. They deal with enormous social and political backlash in their countries often at the risk of their own safety and security.
