UNHCR Women-Led Organization Definition:
Women-Led Organizations (WLOs) are a wide range of women- and girl-led groups, organizations, networks, and movements particularly those with strong links to displaced and stateless communities, operating at community, national, regional and/or global level.
• Women-Led Organizations should have clear organizational values, principles/commitment on gender equality and accountability to women and girls.
• 2/3rds (67%) of the leadership and management structure of the Women-Led Organization are people who identify as women and girls. The entire organization should have equal or higher representation of women across the board.
• WLOs also incorporate those that organize formally and informally and include those who are led by displaced or stateless persons, that. They are non-partisan, work to advance the rights of women and girls, promote gender equality at any level and address gender-based violence. The organization primarily provides advocacy, protection and assistance to communities affected by displacement and/or statelessness.
Indicative Budget: USD 50,000
