The Women’s Empowerment Foundation was born in response to numerous calls from women’s local organizations (WGOs) across the country to create a mechanism to direct technical and financial support to significant initiatives to advance women’s human rights, gender equality and social justice, as well as contribute to the feminist movement.
For the feminist movement, the existence of the Foundation for the Empowerment of Women is an important source in contributing to the building of the feminist movement. Ensuring continued support through a program of grants to women’s organizations and women’s groups, the Women’s Empowerment Foundation encourages women’s collective thinking, learning and building women’s solidarity, in order to always draw courage from the guidelines of feminist activists and women’s movements throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.
