Deadline: February 16, 2020
Applications are open for the IWMF Women Deliver Reporting Grants 2020. This grant initiative seeks to address the need for reporting and increased media coverage of women and girls as agents of positive change in developing countries.
Too often, girls and women are portrayed solely as victims or recipients of aid, rather than the strong agents of change that they are – worthy of the world’s investment. Whether it’s responding to humanitarian crises, championing their sexual and reproductive health and rights, addressing climate change, or tackling the world’s economic problems – women are on the front line of solving the globe’s most significant challenges.
This initiative is funded by Women Deliver, a global advocacy organization that champions gender equality and the health and rights of girls and women.
