Urgent Action Fund
Overview
Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights is a feminist fund that protects, strengthens and sustains women and transgender human rights defenders at critical moments. They intervene quickly when activists are poised to make great gains or face serious threats to their lives and work. Urgent Action Fund builds the resilience of women’s rights and LGBT rights movements in three ways:
- Rapid Response Grantmaking: they award rapid response grants to women and transgender human rights defenders in Central Asia, the Middle East, Western and Eastern Europe, the South Caucuses, Russia, Turkey, the United States, and Canada. Activists apply for grants of up to $8,000 USD in any language on any day of the year and are guaranteed a response within 72 hours.
- Advocacy & Alliance-Building: they leverage the power they have as a funder to advocate for women and transgender human rights defenders.
- Global Consortium of Urgent Action Funds: They are one of four Urgent Action Funds. Together with their sister funds: Urgent Action Fund-Africa, Urgent Action Fund-Latin America, and Urgent Action Fund-Asia Pacific they collectively support gender justice and human rights movements globally.
