In eastern #DRC, where violence and displacement continue to escalate and sexual violence is used as a weapon of war, the work of women peacebuilders like Nelly Mbangu is more urgent than ever.
Like many Congolese women, Nelly became an activist long before she had the words for it. She has spent her life on the frontlines of peacebuilding, protection, and advocacy, driven by her determination to see her children grow up in a country no longer defined by war.
Since 2020, her organization, Sauti ya Mama Mukongomani, has partnered with @wphfund , working directly with conflict-affected communities to address the urgent needs of women and girls who have survived gender-based violence.
With support from our Rapid Response Window, Nelly is also strengthening networks of women mediators across North Kivu and neighboring regions, creating safe spaces where they can organize, lead, and demand their inclusion in peace processes.
In 2025, her leadership was recognized with the Franco-German Prize for Human Rights and the Rule of Law, awarded by @auswaertigesamt and @francediplo .

The truth is under attack. And for women journalists and human rights defenders, the cost is even higher. Around the world, they are threatened, silenced, detained, and even killed, simply for doing their jobs.
Yesterday, on World Press Freedom Day, we honored the resilience, courage, and determination of women like @sandra.alloush , a reporter from #Syria forced to flee in 2012 after facing serious threats for her reporting.
For more than a decade, she's documented the realities of displacement: the confusion, the endless paperwork, the bureaucracy, the isolation that so many refugees face when they arrive in their host country. Through her work, she amplifies voices too often unheard, exposing the daily challenges and layered discrimination that remain invisible to those who have never lived them.
"Don’t look away. Stand up. Speak out. Defend us so we can defend you."

“WPHF did not simply add another funding stream — it corrected a structural failure.”
This week at @women_deliver , #Australia brought the world together to advance gender equality and amplify the leadership of women and girls globally. That same commitment is reflected in its longstanding partnership with @wphfund .
As we mark 10 years of WPHF, @ausambgender , Ambassador for Gender Equality at @dfat , underscores why Australia has been such a critical partner from the very beginning, recognizing that sustainable peace depends on investing directly in women’s organizations working on the frontlines of conflict and crisis.
Thank you for your leadership, your vision, and your unwavering commitment to inclusive and sustainable peace across the globe.

#ClimateChange isn’t just an environmental crisis — it’s a driver of conflict, displacement, and inequality. And while women and girls are among those most affected, they remain critically underfunded.
@wphfund is changing that.
Through our Women and #ClimateSecurity Initiative, we are channeling funding directly to local women-led civil society organizations, strengthening their leadership on the frontlines of climate action, peacebuilding, and humanitarian response.

At @superhumans.center , care doesn’t stop with visible injuries. It also reaches the women who have been carrying so much behind the scenes — often unseen, often unheard.
This is what recovery looks like when no one is left behind.
More than four years into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, civil society organizations like Superhumans — with support from @wphfund and in partnership with @unwomenukraine — are responding to the urgent needs of women, girls, and entire families in a holistic way, all under one roof.
In a world that can feel increasingly uncertain, our Head of Secretariat @tonnibrodberun reminds us that solidarity is strength — and that lasting peace can only be achieved by financing the women and girls already building it.
That’s why @wphfund was created 10 years ago: as a partnership between civil society, Member States, and the @unitednations to ensure women-led and women’s rights organizations have the resources they need to lead in their communities and shape decisions on peace and security.
Watch her full message and join us in celebrating a decade of impact — and the work ahead.

Three years into the war in Sudan, women’s organizations remain on the frontlines, leading peacebuilding and humanitarian efforts and holding entire communities together.
They are doing this in one of the world’s largest displacement crises, where millions have been forced from their homes, and women and girls face relentless violence, exploitation, and the collapse of basic services.
In conditions like these, flexible funding is what keeps civil society organizations alive.
For Ikhlas Awad Yaseen and the Young Dream Charity Organization (YDCO), institutional support from @wphfund meant being able to continue when everything else was lost — covering salaries, replacing destroyed equipment, and reopening their doors to women who had nowhere else to turn.

In Haiti, women and girls are living in survival mode — navigating violence, displacement, trauma, and fear, one day at a time.
@pascale_solages knows this reality very well. Through @negesmawon and in partnership with @wphfund , the feminist organization she co-founded, she is helping women and girls displaced by gang violence access safe shelter and psychosocial care.
