Resourcing girls and young activists through COVID-19

Like any other crisis, the pandemic has exposed and exacerbated the existing systemic oppression and violence that positions girls and young people as particularly vulnerable. The Global Resilience Fund was the coming together by those across the funding ecosystem committed to resourcing girls and young feminists’ activism, who recognised that something bold and propositional was required in this moment. Moving resources to young activists is full of complexity, tension, and the profound possibility for transformation, and this work is demonstrating that a new kind of humanitarian response is possible.
