GRTF works to advance the safety, dignity, rights, inclusion and economic independence of women and girls, particularly those facing poverty, discrimination, disability and exclusion.
Through practical, community-based action, we work to reduce barriers, strengthen protection and participation, and connect women and girls with opportunities, services and pathways to greater independence.
Women and girls can face interconnected barriers that limit their ability to access education, livelihoods, services, justice, protection and opportunities to participate in decisions affecting their lives and communities.
These barriers can be intensified by poverty, disability, discrimination, social exclusion and harmful or discriminatory norms.
GRTF works with communities to address these barriers through practical support, inclusion, protection, participation and pathways to greater independence.
