(Geneva) – At a time of converging crises, dangerous escalations in threats to peace and security, unprecedented cuts to development aid, and a global backlash against women’s rights, women led civil society organizations continue to deliver key services for peace and security in their communities. Two of the UN’s leading gender equality funds – the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UN Trust Fund) and the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) – who continue to ensure that these organizations and their allies have the funding needed, have released their 2024 annual reports in Geneva this week. The data reflects record-breaking reach and transformative impact, rising risks and a renewed call to action around funding feminist change.
