The WYDE | Women’s Leadership Initiative is a collaborative global effort aimed at advancing women’s full and effective political participation and decision-making at all levels, especially those most often left furthest behind. As a multi-stakeholder initiative, funded by the European Union, UN Women will support the implementation of the Generation Equality Action Coalition on Feminist Movement’s and Leadership commitments, through directly supporting civil society and women’s rights organizations, including young women’s organizations. 

As part of the Advocacy, Coalition Building and Transformative Feminist Action (ACT) to End Violence Against Women Programme, UN Women is in the process of identifying one or more programme partners (Responsible Parties)  to develop and roll out a Global Feminist Technology and Innovation Lab for women’s rights organizations and activists. The aim of the Feminist Technology and Innovation Lab is to foster cross-sectoral collaboration and bolster skills and capacities of women’s rights organizations and activists through structured capacity strengthening initiatives within key areas related to technology and innovation, focused on the following two main areas: 1) Enhancing capacities and cross-sectoral collaboration to prevent and respond to technology facilitated violence against women and girls (TFVAWG) and 2) Leveraging advancements in technology and innovation to advance advocacy on EVAWG.
