This call to action, informed by the insights from the March 8th event, highlights the potential of Ethiopia’s emerging financial markets in addressing the specific barriers limiting women’s participation in capital markets. We identify key challenges and propose targeted recommendations for regulators, financial institutions, and other stakeholders. By implementing gender-inclusive policies, expanding financing options for women-led/owned businesses, strengthening women’s leadership in the financial sector, and improving access to financial and digital enabler tools like national IDs, capital markets can become a powerful engine for women’s economic empowerment (WEE)3. Through coordinated efforts, Ethiopia’s capital market can unlock women’s economic potential and promote inclusive growth.

Achieving gender equality is not only a human rights imperative but also essential to building resilient health systems and achieving universal health coverage. The Rotary Action Group for Family Health & AIDS Prevention (RFHA) proudly presents its Gender Equality Strategy (2025–2035) – a bold and transformative framework that embeds gender equity at the heart of our mission, programs, and organizational culture.
The 2025-2026 Learning Agenda establishes a linking and learning framework that responds to different partner needs and engagement levels. It recognizes that effective learning happens through multiple pathways: structured peer exchange, accessible problem-solving, technical coordination, and timely exposure to emerging practices.
This integrated approach addresses both accountability requirements and an authentic partner-driven knowledge exchange through flexible engagement options. Partners can choose their level of involvement based on relevance, capacity, and immediate needs.
This document provides practical guidance on integrating key gender approaches into malaria programs,
with the aim of accelerating progress against the disease. It is intended for use by Global Fund partners
who are designing, implementing, and evaluating malaria programs at country level.
This resource explores the links between sex, gender and malaria, and highlights three programmatic
approaches that implementers can use to advance gender equality in the context of malaria: (1) women’s
economic empowerment, (2) antenatal care (ANC) as an entry point for gender focused interventions on
malaria and (3) the promotion of gender equality in the health and care workforce.
This Feminist Africa issue challenges dominant gender epistemologies through grounded African perspectives. The outcome of a panel convened at the 2022 World Women’s Conference in Maputo, the issue interrogates the coloniality embedded in global gender discourse and offers decolonial, relational alternatives rooted in local linguistic contexts, kinship structures, and socio- historical specificities. The contributions, which range from the ethnographic to the conceptual and the political, reject universalised readings of gender and highlight instead the diverse ways in which African feminist scholars and communities understand and live gendered realities. We centre African epistemologies both as critique and as propositions for rethinking what gender means, what it conceals, and what it could become. In doing so, we offer a reflexive framing while calling for an expansion of the feminist spaces that listen to, and learn from, the pluralities of African knowledge.

Opposition to gender equality is not new. Yet 30 years after the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, anti-gender-equality organizations and movements have found avenues to grow in strength and visibility. In 2025, the latest wave of “gender backlash” is threatening hard-won gains for women and girls. It poses renewed challenges to commitments to the rights of women and girls, and LGBTIQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, plus) persons, while also undermining human rights and democratic institutions more broadly.
Drawing from the latest research by academics and practitioners, this background paper brings together definitions and cross-regional evidence to provide a comprehensive review of the current dynamics of opposition to gender equality and women’s rights and empowerment. It provides insights on effective responses and recommendations for governments, United Nations organizations, and civil society to safeguard and further advance historical gains on gender equality and women’s human rights.

This report shines a light on the resourcing realities of feminist and women’s rights organizations amid unprecedented political and financial upheaval. Drawing on over a decade of analysis since AWID last Where is the Money? report (Watering the Leaves, Starving the Roots), it takes stock of the gains, gaps, and growing threats in the funding landscape.
The report celebrates the power of movement-led initiatives to shape resourcing on their own terms, while sounding the alarm on massive aid cuts, shrinking philanthropy, and escalating backlash. It calls on funders to invest abundantly in feminist organizing as essential infrastructure for justice and liberation. It also invites movements to reimagine bold, self-determined models of resourcing rooted in care, solidarity and collective power.

In this 2025 briefing, Human Rights Funders Network (HRFN) provides a timely analysis of the projected decline in funding for global human rights movements, driven by cuts to foreign aid and growing instability in philanthropic support. The report synthesizes data from various sources to assess the impact of these converging pressures on human rights initiatives and identifies ways for funders to respond. The analysis suggests that the cuts will have a profound effect on the infrastructure of civic space and human rights, highlighting the critical need for proactive strategies to support these movements in the face of a challenging political and economic climate.
