Grantmaking to end violence against women and girls with disabilities

The UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women is a global multilateral grant making mechanism supporting national efforts to prevent and end violence against women and girls. The UN Trust Fund provides grants to advance the development of innovative models and strategic interventions in the area of ending violence against women and girls.

In 2017, the UN Trust Fund opened a special thematic window on violence against women and girls with disabilities. Impel worked with the UN Trust Fund to shape the focus of its special thematic window ‘violence against women and girls with disabilities’, providing data and evidence regarding the funding and programmatic landscape to help the UN Trust Fund identify how the special thematic window can add most value, including examples of the kind of interventions and organisations the UN Trust Fund may consider funding.

Impel has continued to work with the UN Trust Fund, reviewing submitted concept notes and proposals to help ensure the focus of grantees on violence against women and girls with disabilities is relevant and robustly designed.
