Kaagapay Solidarity Fund for Feminist Resilience
‘Kaagapay’ is a Filipino term which means to stand by one’s side or to go hand in hand in support. It signifies mutual care, respect, support, and trust.
This fund was launched as WFA’s COVID-19 response in 2020 and resources crisis response led by women, girls, trans, and intersex people as they respond to ongoing and new challenges faced by their communities, and uphold their human rights during emergencies and post-crisis interventions.
Kaagapay Fund seeks to respond to the increasingly volatile context facing communities in Asia. WFA recognises that emergency response and recovery from crises is essential in sustaining and strengthening feminist movements, and is committed to resourcing these strategic efforts led by groups and organisations that are the most marginalised across the region. The fund resources organisations to mitigate the impact of emergencies on their communities, and to recover in order to continue working on transforming unjust systems.
Kaagapay fund are currently open to WFA partners.
