Strengthening movements led by women and girls, and non-binary, gender non-conforming, trans and intersex people for a gender just world
Indigenous and rural women, sex workers, lesbian and bisexual women, women with disabilities and HIV. They are among the many women, girls, trans and intersex people who confront multiple layers of discrimination. The Count Me In! consortium supports movements led by women’s groups fighting for their rights. We focus on two areas: economic justice and eliminating gender-based violence. We use the following strategies to achieve our vision:
MONEY
Diverting funding to women’s rights organisations and women human rights defenders from big donors.
MOVEMENT BUILDING
Supporting women’s rights organisations to become stronger, more resourced and coordinated at advocating for their rights. We also help them connect to other movements and build alliances.
MAKING CHANGE
Leading lobby and advocacy so that donors provide more and better funding for women-led organisations, and political and societal actors push for social, legal and policy change to reach gender equality.
