- Breaking down the barriers to women-led responses amidst the humanitarian reset: stepping up, stepping back, making space0.90 MB
There is growing consensus that increasing support for women-led organisations (WLOs) will lead to more efficient and effective responses to crises. As anti-gender politics and sweeping cuts threaten many WLOs’ very existence, this research reveals a sector preoccupied by wavering commitment to both gender and international assistance.
What is needed are straightforward ways to get resources into the hands of the actors already delivering effective solutions to problems, and our evidence suggests that this is what WLOs are doing. Streamlined funding to WLOs therefore offers a solution for humanitarians facing shrinking budgets and increasing pressure.
