Driving Systemic, Sustainable Change
Indigenous and rural women, sex workers, lesbian and bisexual women, women with disabilities and living with HIV. They are among the many women, girls, and trans, intersex, non-binary and gender non-conforming people who confront multiple layers of discrimination, and fight for their rights!
The Count Me In! (CMI!) consortium supports these movements through three strategies:
MONEY
Channelling funding to feminist organisations and feminist human rights defenders from bigger donors.MOVEMENT BUILDING
Supporting feminist organisations to become stronger, more resourced and coordinated at advocating for their rights. We also help them connect to other movements and build alliances.MAKING CHANGE
Leading lobby and advocacy so that donors provide more and better funding for feminist-led organisations, and political and societal actors push for social, legal and policy change to reach gender equality.Eight feminist organisations working together with thousands of feminist organisations and human rights defenders worldwide
