NGO CSW Youth Leaders & Young Professionals In collaboration with Women Have Wings make available five $5,000 grant awards to youth leaders and young professionals who have a project or an idea to advance gender equality in their region. Individual youth leaders (between ages 18 to 40 years old at the time of submission) can be highlighted, but the grants must go to organizations.
Priority will be given to young people in the Global South.
Project Themes:
- Advocacy – What is the future of advocacy for gender equality?
- Grassroots Projects – Projects that advance gender equality at the grassroots that need seed money.
- Technology and Arts – Building platforms on gender issues that amplify youth voices in national and international spaces.
