Reelworld Foundation

Published purpose

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Reelworld Foundation will achieve this by addressing discriminatory legislation, policies, and/or practices that prevent women and/or girls from fully participating in the social, political and economic spheres, design and implement policies and practices to increase women’s labour market participation and opportunities, develop and implement community-based approaches to address intersectional barriers to equality for diverse women, engage men and boys to combat harmful gender norms and advance gender equality, develop and implement prevention focused initiatives to combat gender based violence, design and implement policies and practices to increase women’s leadership in democratic, civic, public or private sectors, convene and strengthen the feminist movement to collaboratively advance gender equality, build relationships between equality seeking organizations and other stakeholders to collaborate across sectors to advance gender equality. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
