AFRICAN FEMINIST R/EVOLUTION IN ACTION

Established in 2001, we are a pan-African and Feminist Fund that supports African Womn's Human Rights Defenders (AWHRDs), their organisations, collectives and movements to take actions that sustain their work and themselves before, during and after urgent situations.

Our Mandate

Urgent Action Fund-Africa provides financial support for strategic interventions that take advantage of opportunities to advance womn’s human rights. Such opportunities arise when an unexpected event – positive or negative – creates a situation in which rapid intervention can significantly impact.
