About The Association of Women’s Rights in Development
The Association for Women’s Rights in Development (AWID) is a global, feminist, membership, movement-support organization. For over 35 years, AWID has been a part of an incredible ecosystem of feminist movements working to achieve gender justice and women’s human rights worldwide. The organization monitors, documents and makes visible how anti-rights actors are operating and colluding in multilateral spaces and support feminist, women’s rights and gender justice movements and allies to counter their influence and impact. The AWID works on extractivism, tax justice and corporate accountability while knowledge on corporate power and influence, advocating for corporate accountability and equitable distribution of wealth amplifying feminist proposals for just economies. The organization develops accessible, action-oriented analysis on the state of resourcing for feminist movements. It aims to influence funders’ policies and practices, deepen and sustain funding for feminist social change, and support movements’ needs and strategies.
