Financing for Feminist Futures: rethinking how we resource change Financing for Feminist Futures: we must rethink now how to finance feminist work before the political tide turns even further to the right.

Traditional funding has failed the #feministmovement for long enough. As global politics tilt toward authoritarianism and the far right, we can’t waste any more time. We must rethink now how to finance feminist work before the tide turns even further. #F4FF #WalkingTheTalk hivos.org/blog/financi...
