Women’s Voice and Leadership Program

We created this program to meet the needs of local women's organizations in developing countries. Our support helps them advance gender equality and empower women in developing countries. It promotes and protects their human rights.

We announced the program in June 2017. It is part of our Feminist International Assistance Policy.

As part of the program, Canada will work with partners to:

Assistance projects

These projects respond to the needs and priorities identified by women’s rights organizations and place women at the centre of project implementation.
