For over a decade, AWID has asked the question Where is the Money for Womens Rights?. Consistently, the answer is that there is very limited funding available for the transformative, long-term, and political work of womens rights organizations. AWID is focused on encouraging funders and global policy frameworks to demonstrate increased commitment to resourcing womens rights and gender justice. By bridging the gap between funders and activists, AWID encourages dialogue to shape funding decisions, collaborative funding and resource mobilization, and pinpoints the strengths and gaps in the funding landscape. 665265 Women's Human Rights Defenders ("WHRD") is a program that responds to the escalation of violence and attacks on women's human rights defenders ("WHRDs") which has brought greater urgency to the need to develop more effective and gender-sensitive systems of responding, tracking and following up on these cases, as well as increased access to protection mechanisms, justice, and security for WHRDs experiencing such violence. AWID and allies are working with WHRDs in Mesoamerica, the Middle East, and North Africa by engaging in campaigns to respond to the alarming increase in violence against women in their regions. 554127 The International Forum on Women's Rights and Development is both a conference and a call to action. The largest recurring event of its kind, the AWID Forum brings together close to 2,000 women's rights leaders and activists from around the world to strategize, network, celebrate, and learn in a highly charged atmosphere that fosters deep discussions and sustained personal and professional growth. In the year following each Forum, AWID supports 20 to 25 small-scale seed initiatives to turn innovative ideas inspired by the Forum into action. The next Forum will be held in 2016. 2112396 4312777 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true X 11 0 true 7 true false true CA MX false false false false false false false false false X 13 12 false false false false true true false true true false false false true false false true true true true false CA X CHRISTINE HAYHURST 4165943773 215 SPADINA AVENUE SUITE 150 Toronto, ON CA M5T 2C7 Lydia Alpizar Duran Executive Director 37.5 0.0 X X 144446 0 0 Myrna Cunningham Kain President 1.8 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Charlotte Bunch Director 1.8 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jac SM Kee Director 1.8 0.0 X 0 0 0 Usu Mallya Treasurer 1.8 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Valentina Pellizer Director 1.8 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kaythi Win Director 1.8 0.0 X 0 0 0 Zeina Zaatari Secretary 1.8 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Natalia Gonzalez Flores Director 1.8 0.0 X 0 0 0 Alice Odingo Director 1.8 0.0 X 0 0 0 Shirley Pryce Director 1.8 0.0 X 0 0 0 Erika Guevara Rosas Director 1.8 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ireen Dubel Director 1.8 0.0 X 0 0 0 Meerim Ilyas Director 1.8 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jamie Chase Director 1.8 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Amy Bank Director, Communication & Info 37.5 0.0 X X 19071 0 0 Sacajawea Hall Director of Programs 37.5 0.0 X X 23941 0 0 Cindy Clark Director of Programs 33.8 0.0 X 77926 0 0 Anna Turley Director of Communications 37.5 0.0 X 83197 0 0 Christine Hayhurst CONTROLLER 24.5 0.0 X 54274 0 0 Andrea Imada Director of Finance & Admin. 24.5 0.0 X 61041 0 0 Hakima Abbas Director of Programs 37.5 0.0 X 85662 0 0 549558 0 0 1 false false false 0 18135 588475 8609672 9216282 0 5597 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9221879 0 0 0 0 0 0 2175075 1965204 131423 78448 0 309569 285327 16269 7973 100718 85487 10864 4367 0 78320 69959 6080 2281 60854 54231 4832 1791 0 0 0 597474 561868 34153 1453 0 2695 2512 173 10 30594 28310 1612 672 0 70081 63165 4884 2032 526597 477254 42721 6622 0 0 23704 21320 1683 701 0 41596 37395 2966 1235 5535 2571 2879 85 PRINT & PUBLICATION 238393 231618 3970 2805 COMMUNICATION 34165 30404 1772 1989 SUPPLIES 11092 9735 1021 336 EQUIPMENT RENTAL & MAINTENANCE 6683 6044 451 188 384618 380373 4229 16 4697763 4312777 271982 113004 1354766 2537812 686822 658 2300669 3667084 17647 5217 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 58512 218664 245893 150045 78555 95848 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1273783 3864834 5770754 10390117 227186 246234 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 227186 246234 X 204769 227105 5338799 9916778 0 0 5543568 10143883 5770754 10390117 4524116 76199 X false true X true false X 1925734 2965518 9798643 1820088 9216282 25726265 0 0 1925734 2965518 9798643 1820088 9216282 25726265 0 25726265 30932 10200 7989 12179 5597 66897 0 0 25793162 607054 0.99741 0.99576 X 1925734 2965518 9798643 1820088 9216282 25726265 606729 0 325 0 607054 0 0 0 1925734 3572247 9798643 1820413 9216282 26333319 0 0 0 26333319 30932 10200 7989 12179 5597 66897 0 30932 10200 7989 12179 5597 66897 0 0 1956666 3582447 9806632 1832592 9221879 26400216 0.99747 0.99590 0.00253 0.00410 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 245893 150045 95848 95848 CONTRIBUTION RECEIVABLE 3864834 3864834 North America 2 28 Program Services Women's rights 4309292 Sub-Saharan Africa 1 7 Program Services Women's rights 312273 3 35 3 35 4621565 4621565 false false false false false false Form 990, Part VI-A, Line 6: Members Form 990, Part VI-B, Line 11b: The review and approval of Form 990 is delegated to the Director of Finance & Administration and the Executive Director (who is a member of the Board of Directors).
