Rosa is delighted to announce the fourth and final round of the Justice and Equality Fund. This funding will provide grants totalling £298,526 to five women’s organisations who will continue and expand programmes which have had a significant impact on tackling the issue of sexual harassment in the UK.
Launched in 2018 from a hugely successful crowdfund campaign which raised nearly £3m, the Justice and Equality Fund aimed to bring an end to the culture of sexual harassment, abuse and impunity that exists in the UK by resourcing a network of advice, support and advocacy organisations. To date, the Fund has distributed over £2.8m in grants to women’s organisations and resulted in innovative work to tackle sexual harassment in workplaces, communities and in public spaces.
Rosa undertook a review of Justice and Equality projects and looked to target the remaining funds towards organisations who could share particular good practice across the women and girls sector and beyond, as well as support the enduring legacy for the fund as a whole.
The one year grant funding has been awarded to:
Birmingham Rape and Sexual Violence Project – £58,556
Latin American Women’s Rights Service – £39,985
Rights of Women – £79,985
Women’s Resource and Development Agency – £40,000
Women’s Support Network – £80,000
