This brief builds on AWID’s analysis on the impacts of the financial crisis on women and some of the lessons learned by key feminist economists and women’s rights activists on how fiscal policies impact human rights and women’s rights in particular.

AWID presents this analysis of the Secretary General's report as a contribution to the UN debates from a feminist and human rights perspective, and also as a follow-up to our critical analysis of the Post-2015 High Level Panel report.

This second report in a research series on resources for women's rights organizing analyzes the aggregate impact of women’s organizations around the world that received grants from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ MDG3 Fund.

These factsheets were produced to help in understanding the dynamics around funding for womens rights activities.

This report is the result of an action research initiative that explored questions about the role of donors and drew insights into possible strategies for changing the existing funding landscape so that more resources are made available to women’s rights organizations.

This manual is for rights activists facing religious fundamentalist opposition to their work. It brings together innovative research, analysis, and the experiences of hundreds of women’s rights activists in diverse regions of the world.

This primer describes the rights-based approach to development, presents its benefits to the development community, and suggests some ways that it can be used.

In this article, feminist political economist Marilyn Waring looks at international development, civil society and the rights agenda through a feminist movement history lens.

This paper is intended to provide information to assist in the analysis of potential gender bias in tax systems and the design of gender-sensitive revenue measures.

This primer provides a description of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and some suggestions of its potential to promote gender equality, particularly in an era of globalization. ​
