In this series, the Urgent Action Funds unpack how they practice their recently launched Sisterhood Feminist Principles of Philanthropy in day-to-day work.

The Urgent Action Funds are a global consortium of feminist funds that provide rapid and responsive support for women and LBTQI+ human rights defenders in moments of need, sustaining feminist activism by supporting the resistance and resilience of frontline defenders.
