Four Things You Should Know About Our Funding for SRHR Initiatives in Canada
Learn everything you need about applying for our financial support for initiatives promoting sexual health and reproductive rights.
1. What is this funding?
This financial support bolsters Canadian community-based initiatives elevating the importance of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). It's part of the Stand Up project, funded by Global Affairs Canada, which aims to advance awareness and knowledge of SRHR in Canada, Mozambique, and Uganda.
2. How does this funding work?
There are two different funding streams:
- Between $1,000 to $5,000 for initiatives from individuals aged 18 to 29.
- $20,000 for initiatives from two self-identified women's rights organizations (WROs) or youth-led organizations (YLOs).
The selected activities need to consider and accept diversity in all its forms, including gender, sexual orientation, identity, ability, race, language, religion, country of origin and political perspective.
3. Why should you apply?
If you feel strongly about raising awareness and moving forward SRHR issues in your community, now is the perfect time to take action and make a difference! Whether through a film screening, a workshop, a radio debate, a discussion panel, or an art installation, there are countless opportunities to engage with the public and create positive change.
You should consider applying if you're part of a women's rights organization or a youth-led organization that promotes sustained community mobilization on SRHR.
So why wait? Start planning your public engagement initiative today and inspire others to join you in advocating for the enjoyment of SRHR.
