Ending Violence in the World of Work<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

African women are the backbone of African economies, performing labour to sustain themselves, their families, communities and countries. However, this labour often takes places in precarious conditions, with low pay, lack of protections, and frequent violations of women workers\u2019 human rights including in the form of violence against them. To commemorate the 16 Days of Activism to end Gender-based violence this year, the African Women\u2019s Development Fund is awarding grants to women\u2019s rights organisations raising awareness, building campaigns and mobilising women workers to demand for their rights and an end to violence in the world of work.<\/span><\/p>\n

AWDF will therefore, support women\u2019s rights organisations and groups employing innovative approaches, methodologies, tools and resources that show positive results in preventing and responding to violence against women and girls in the world of work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us know how you plan to use $2000 to run an innovative event, campaign or series of activities to address violence against women and girls in the world of work!<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years women\u2019s rights activists and organisations have worked hard to ensure that the rights of all women including the needs of women with disabilities are catered for in development processes. Despite these efforts, women with disabilities still face multiple barriers in accessing healthcare services, including HIV and AIDS services. These barriers are accentuated for women with disabilities because they are women and also because they are disabled. Women with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection because of the persistent discrimination and violation of their rights.\u00a0 It is therefore very important to pay particular attention to the voices and inclusion of the needs of women with disabilities in the HIV and AIDS response if we are to make significant progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the 2019 World AIDS Day celebrations, AWDF will award grants to African women\u2019s organisations and groups to support innovative activities that will strengthen the leadership and voices of women and girls with disabilities in the HIV and AIDS response. \u00a0AWDF will support activities led by young women with disabilities, activities that highlights the needs of women and girls with disabilities living and HIV and AIDS, community driven events that help raise awareness, build visibility and call for change around the needs and involvement of women with disabilities in HIV and AIDS interventions.<\/span><\/p>\n

We encourage innovative projects that involve women especially young women with disabilities leading the implementation.\u00a0 We also would prioritise activities that focus on building and strengthening movements that promote the rights of women living with HIV and disability.<\/span><\/p>\n

We particularly welcome applications from organisations led by women living with disabilities and women living with HIV and AIDS.<\/span><\/p>\n

AWDF encourages innovation- so do send in your creative ideas! \u00a0\u00a0Projects may include activities that;<\/span><\/p>\n
