Deadline: 30-Jan-21
South Asia Women Foundation India (SAWF IN) is pleased to announce a call for fellowships on supporting initiatives to enhance claims of women and trans* to economic and environmental justice.
South Asia Women Foundation India, SAWF IN as the national women’s fund of India, is cognizant of the ravages of COVID-19 on marginalized communities, particularly women and trans groups. As one of the first steps in addressing the needs and priorities of women’s groups in the context of COVID, they are happy to announce a call for individual fellowships on building economic recovery and resilience through ecologically sustainable strategies.
Through the fellowship programme, SAWF IN aims to support women and trans* led interventions on building economic resilience but in a manner that is also ecologically sustainable. In other words, the fellowship seeks to nurture practices and actions that will achieve economic justice outcomes using environmentally robust strategies.
They seek applications from individual women and trans* working independently or as part of collectives, to take forward actions and interventions which combine achievement of economic justice and improved environmental outcomes. Their effort would be to give preference to applications impacting regions which are ecologically fragile and in need of supportive intervention inputs.
