Accelerate Together Investing in women's movements

Investing in women’s movements is about impact.

When women organise, communities are safer.
Democracies are stronger.
Climate action moves faster.

#AccelerateTogether is about investing in movements that make life better for all of us.

This year, we demand a feminist internet where everyone can be seen, heard, and safe.

We support activists around the globe bringing about this change, because safety online is a #feminist issue.

Where governments fall short on climate action, Indigenous women lead.

But it is time governments and funders step up.

At #COP30, women like Patricia from Mujeres Amazónicas Defensoras de la Selva spoke out to defend their territories. They are the experts – and their voices must be heard.

💜 Today is International Day of the Girl. A day to honour girls who dare to dream, speak up and fight back.

We’re highlighting the work of our grantee-partner Grupo Artemisa, in Honduras.
