The UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UN Trust Fund) is seeking applications from CSOs working on the front lines of the COVID-19 response and recovery to address and respond to the growing reports of the rise of violence against women and girls (VAWG) in the context of the pandemic. The UN Trust Fund will invest at least 11 million USD through this Call, as part of UN system-wide efforts to support CSOs –particularly women’s organizations –in their existing efforts to the COVID-19 specific response and recovery. The funding will focus on responses to and prevention of violence against women taking into account the intersectional marginalization of women in context of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly acknowledging the increased risk of violence for some groups including indigenous women, women with disabilities, older women, domestic workers and women without access to technology.
