The factsheet provides a snapshot of the current funding situation for local organisations working on gender equality – including women-led organisations, women’s rights organisations, LGBTQIA+ led organisations, and other local organisations addressing gendered issues – working on the humanitarian and refugee response to the Ukraine crisis. Additionally, the challenges and recommendations for these organisations accessing the funding they need to sustain a gender-sensitive humanitarian response and to continue to contribute to advancing gender equality in the region. In alignment with the call for International Women’s Day 2024: “Invest in women: Accelerate progress” to ensure these organisations are supported and can continue to play a vital role in responding to the needs of some of the most marginalised communities, donors and intermediaries are requested to take action.
