Dear John,

I hope your 2022 has started with some hope and optimism.

As we look forward to another year working closely with our partners and the women and girls they support, it’s important to take stock of all that we achieved in 2021.

Last year was a challenging one for women and girls. As our partners adapted to rapidly changing situations, we supported their resilience. We also continued strengthening women’s movements to create stronger, fairer societies.
In 2020-21:
  • 25,125 individuals were directly supported through our projects with partners

  • 16.3 million individuals were indirectly impacted by our work with women’s movements in Africa and Asia

  • In an unprecedented year we supported our partners on the frontline, providing £1.25 million in flexible funding through the Womankind COVID-19 Resilience Fund

  • COVID-19 didn’t stop us coming together for women’s rights. We convened over 460 attendees at online events.
2022 is an exciting year for Womankind as we launch a new 10-year strategy. Over the next decade, we plan to work in an even more intersectional way, recognising that there are many different and overlapping kinds of discrimination that hold people back – including race, sexuality, gender identity, religion, disability, ethnicity and class or caste.
 
We are undaunted by the challenges ahead and are ready to stand in solidarity with women and girls globally, remaining true to our founding principles and values from 1989.

We hope you will continue to stand alongside us on this journey. Support from people like you make our work possible. Thank you for your belief and your solidarity.

With best wishes for the year ahead!
