What we do

The Women’s Voice and Leadership – South Africa (WVL-SA) programme provides funding opportunities to women’s rights organisations across the country that align with the six pillars of Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP). These include:
- Promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls
- Advancing human dignity through access to health, education, and basic services
- Supporting inclusive, sustainable economic growth
- Championing environment and climate action
- Strengthening inclusive governance, participation, and accountability
- Promoting peace and security through women’s leadership and rights-based approaches
WVL-SA supports organisations that are driving transformative change and building a more just, inclusive, and gender-equal South Africa.
