Impact Report 2024/25

A letter from our Co-Chairs

Lusungu Kalanga and Olga Ghazaryan. With deep gratitude, we said a feminist farewell to Olga in 2024/25. We welcomed our new Co-Chair Katie Ghose in July 2025.

When we envision a feminist future we see a world where women, girls, and people of all genders enjoy equal rights and freedoms. A world where everyone lives and thrives with joy, choice and dignity.
It is a vibrant, collaborative and caring place.  

Women’s rights organisations and feminist movements are constantly building this future, with expertise, innovation and creativity.

But the backlash against women’s rights and freedom is a persistent threat, happening in the context of deepening global insecurity, shrinking civic space, and devastating funding cuts – the biggest cuts since aid records began in 1960, in fact.

The world around us continues to change but our pursuit of equality and freedom for women, girls and people of all genders remains unflinching. That’s why Womankind funds and takes collective action with women’s rights organisations, feminist movements and activists – together we’re creating a feminist future. 

In 2024/25, Womankind... 

Everything we do is in pursuit of our vision of our feminist future.
We anchor our work in our five strategic goals to acheive this.

In focus

In 2024/25, two collaborative partner projects came to an end. Collective Action to Realise Equality (CARE) in Zimbabwe and Women’s Advocacy for Voice and Empowerment (WAVE II) in Uganda. Here’s a look at the impact of these two movement strengthening projects. 

The Advancing Women’s Engagement: Strengthening Opportunities to Mobilise for Equality (AWESOME) is a programme that aims to strengthen the women’s movement across Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. This year, the five partners in the consortium have been continuing the #SafeatWork #SafeinSociety campaign which calls for the ratification of ILO 190 – ILO 190 is the first international treaty that recognises a world free of work free of violence and harassment.  Read insights of the partners regarding the progress of the campaign in Kenya. 

For International Women’s Day 2025, Womankind took a step into feminist publishing with the launch of Everyday Feminism: The Anthology. Capturing the stories of 10 feminist activists from our global ecosystem, the anthology offers a powerful window into what it means to be a feminist today, contextualising activism across diverse struggles, from disability justice and land rights to LBTQI+ rights and youth organising. 

The book was launched on 6 March 2025, at an event in London featuring donors, feminist allies, media and a panel of leading activists. Since launch, 100 physical copies have been distributed, and the digital edition has reached a wide audience. 

This project reflects our commitment to influencing the agenda by ensuring our partners’ voices are not only heard but centred in feminist discourse. The anthology affirms our role in archiving and amplifying feminist stories globally, and in doing so, helps shape public understanding of feminist work. Womankind is not just a supporter of feminist movements, but a convenor and amplifier of their knowledge, strategy, and vision. Through this work, we are actively influencing public and donor discourse on feminism, development, and power. 

A thank you to our community
