The Womanity Foundation Information

We are a Swiss-based organisation with a highly experienced global team specialising in investing and developing solutions to address gender-based issues. Be it innovating and delivering our own programmes or supporting social changemakers and movements, we aim to boldly disrupt the status quo and promote meaningful change to advance the rights of women across the world. Our vision for a gender-equal and just world has directed our focus towards preventing violence against women and girls, promoting the development of grassroots organisations, supporting girls’ education, leveraging media for gender equality and, most recently, unlocking women’s access to land rights. We have found these to be critical challenges faced in low-income communities in the Global South and we work extensively to strengthen high-impact on-ground projects to catalyse change. Since 2015, we have partnered with philanthropists and investors to channel over $16 million into high-impact programmes across Afghanistan, Brazil, Cape Verde, India, Mexico, South Africa, and the Middle East and North Africa. Our strategic support has helped these programmes reach more than 26 million people — most of them women and girls.
