| “Gender ideology” narratives are increasingly present in public discourse and policy-making spaces, posing a significant threat to human rights. The malleable concept of “gender ideology” casts advocates of gender and social justice as illegitimate proponents of a nefarious agenda. For decades, feminist scholars and advocates have articulated important concepts related to gender to understand and challenge oppression and discrimination. Those concepts have now become the target of anti-rights actors who claim that oppressive patriarchal gender roles are “common sense”, strategically painting all other ideas, cultural norms, and forms of social life as a dangerous, conspirative ideology. From Latin America, to Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, discover the stories of feminists who are organizing during times of climate crisis. They are creating alternatives rooted in care, equity and justice for all. The objective: to advance feminist climate justice and build more just, caring and sustainable alternatives. In March 2025, UN Women conducted a rapid global survey to understand how these funding reductions are affecting local women-led groups in crisis settings. The survey reached 411 organizations across 44 countries. The results are alarming: 90 per cent of respondents said their operations were financially impacted, nearly half expect to shut down within six months, and most have already reduced staff or suspended key services. The report highlights the steep consequences of shrinking humanitarian support. Programmes that protect women and girls are being cut back just as needs intensify. Women’s organizations serving refugees, LGBTIQ+ people, women with disabilities, and Indigenous communities report rising violence and harmful coping strategies like child marriage and survival sex. But the report also shows resilience. Many women’s organizations are adjusting their strategies and calling on the international community to act. This publication shares data, stories, and concrete recommendations for donors, humanitarian actors, and the UN system to protect and sustain women's leadership in humanitarian responses. It is not only a funding crisis—it is a crisis of rights and accountability. The report calls for urgent action to ensure that women-led organizations are not sidelined but centred in the humanitarian response. | |
