The Resilience Fund for Women in Global Value Chains
With women forming the backbone of global value chains, this initiative brings together companies, foundations and feminist leaders to invest in women’s economic resilience, safety and health and aims to flip the script on traditional, top-down philanthropy.
Through an innovative model, the Resilience Fund for Women brings together investors with local women-led organisations and local women’s funds to create systemic, lasting change for women and girls in a way that best fits their communities. The fund supports locally driven solutions that address the long-term health, safety, and economic resilience of women who form the backbone of global value chains.
The fund was jointly developed by BSR, the United Nations Foundation’s Universal Access Project, and Women Win/Win-Win Strategies with founding partners and investors Gap Foundation, PVH Foundation and The VF Foundation as well as the H&M Foundation.
