We recently put out our first ever Open Call for new grantees for VIVA Girls, our initiative to support girls' leadership worldwide. From Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean, we're excited to announce that we've selected 20 amazing organizations and community leaders!
We fund work to meet urgent needs in communities, enhance women's leadership and build strong local institutions.
We strengthen the skills of individuals and organizations to mobilize in communities, influence policies and sustain movements.
We mobilize our team of advocates and lawyers to train and accompany partners in shared campaigns for policy change.
Our grassroots partners are women leaders who protect and provide for communities facing war and disaster. Together, we build skills, strengthen local organizations and advance progressive movements. And we bring women's demands to policymakers and advocate for rights, resources and results.

Global Feminist Activists Stand in Solidarity with Protestors Defending Black Lives in the US

In this TED Talk, MADRE Executive Director Yifat Susskind presents a message that we need right now: think like a mother.
