Rosa's Voices from the Frontline fund offers one-year grants of up to £7,000 to support campaigning and influencing work that enables women and girls to use their voice to achieve change.
Rosa is proud to champion the campaigning and influencing work that women’s and girls’ organisations do, as we recognise that every progress in culture, law and practice in women’s and girls’ lives over the last two hundred years has been pioneered by women and girls, organising and mobilising.
Women’s and girls’ organisations are at the forefront of addressing social issues and we believe change comes about when women and girls who have lived experience of injustice and inequality get heard.
However, there remains a critical need for funding for women’s and girls’ organisations to deliver activism and campaigning to raise awareness of the issues women and girls face. This is why Voices from the Frontline exists.
Rosa will fund organisations that will raise women’s voices and challenge inequality, including:
- Campaigning for changes in policy and laws including activities such as petitions, social media campaigns and lobbying
- National campaigns that address issues that affect women and girls
- Influencing community leaders and power holders about issues that affect women in a particular place or community
- Gathering evidence or producing tools and reports which enable women and women’s organisations to campaign for change
- Mentoring or training for women on how to participate in public life and influence social policy
- Video and media campaigns about specific issues facing women
- Training activists in campaigning, advocacy, lobbying or public speaking
