Rosa’s Voices from the Front Line programme supports women’s organisations to shine a light on their fight for
gender equality in the UK, by resourcing advocacy and activists with
lived experience of disadvantage. Rosa has already compiled compelling evidence of the need for change
to move closer to social justice and equality for women in the UK and we
are looking for new voices with direct experience to stand up and take
action.
Through the first round of the Voices from the Front Line programme,
Rosa has helped 24 grassroots women’s organisations across the UK bring
gender equality for all women a small step closer. Take a look at some
of the organisations supported through this programme in the video
