Demanding an End to Violence in Gaza
In response to the conflict in Gaza, UAF made a rapid grant to bring together Palestinian and Jewish Israeli women to call for an immediate end to the violence. The women led a peace march and engaged religious leaders from both sides in peace talks.
Training Young Activists to Protect Themselves Online
UAF facilitated a digital security training for 15 young women and LGBTQ activists from Indonesia. In turn, they taught their communities how to protect themselves from online threats.
Securing Justice for Women in Nepal
With rapid support, women in Nepal launched a national anti-rape campaign to raise awareness about high levels of sexual violence. The campaign led to the creation of fast track courts, which provide support to survivors to seek justice.
