Annual Reports

And together we rise! 

In these difficult times, we know that many feminist activists risk losing their livelihoods, their health, and even their lives. We share in the grief of this moment. At the same time, we are in awe of their determination to hold the line. In 2024, we published the study Change that Lasts: 40 Years of Impact, which showed in no uncertain terms that the feminist movements we have supported over four decades are building a world in which our planet and everyone on it thrives. Even in the face of huge threats – past, present or future – feminist activists are capable of, and determined to create a world that is more peaceful, just and sustainable. 

Urgent need for resources 

In 2024, we received a record number of applications to the Resilience Fund – nearly 2,500. Since 2022, we have seen a staggering 70% increase in applications, highlighting the urgent need for resources to advance women’s, trans, and intersex rights in the face of intensifying human rights challenges, rising authoritarianism, and a well-funded, severe anti-rights, anti-gender backlash.
