Partnering with women- and girl-led organizations
Action learning brief and checklist for gender equality in humanitarian action
About
Women- and girl-led organizations (WGLOs) are often the first to respond to the needs of their communities at the onset of a crisis. They provide essential services to women, girls, and other marginalized groups, raise awareness around risks to the rights of women and girls, and demand accountability. Yet, despite several international commitments affirming the importance of partnering with WGLOs, and a growing body of good practices on how to do so—WGLOs remain largely under-resourced and overlooked.
