Womankind Worldwide Annual Report 2010-11

Setting change in motionOur annual report for 2010/11

Anita Woodcock, long term volunteer “Womankind represents everything that I am passionate about – equality of opportunity which in our world is so much harder for women to achieve; a chance for girls and women to gain self respect, be respected by others and at every level in their society; and for women to be heard.”

Introduction

Introduction


Over the years we’ve turned that commitment

into expertise. Since Womankind Worldwide

was created in 1989 we’ve been sharing what

works and what we have learnt from women

like Amara in Ethiopia. Amara arrived at our

partner’s safe house with a terrible story:

“I was 11 when I was walking to school

and a man raped me. I was scared to

tell anyone so I kept silent. My parents

forced me to quit school. I got a job as a

housemaid. The man I worked for raped

me. I discovered I was pregnant and he

beat me and threw me out.”

Because of our partner AWSAD’s work with

local police forces, when a policeman found

Amara crying she was sent to our safe house

rather than back to her abuser. AWSAD helped

Amara with practical support:

“At the safe house I talked to a

counsellor...learned skills that would help

me get a job to support myself. I stayed

for seven months until I felt strong. Then

they helped me find a good job, in an

office... now I have a safe place to live.

Now, whenever I meet women I tell them

my story. I say we have to speak. We have

to be strong and support each other.”

Speaking up after you’ve been raped in rural

Ethiopia is dangerous but more girls are

standing up against this practice with support

and protection from Womankind.

We are proud to have helped Amara and

other women like her. But the most important

thing about the way we work is that it doesn’t

end there. Although we support our partners

to help individual women, our vision is of a

world where women are equal, respected

and proud. To make that world a reality we

must empower women everywhere, support

them to change attitudes in their communities

and put women’s rights on the national and

international agenda.

Welcome to our 2010-11 annual report. As well as the women we have helped and our partner organisations we have put ourselves in the picture, because we thought you might like to meet some of the people behind the logo. We’re a small, hardworking team of staff, trustees and volunteers, all committed to working for women’s rights.

Disha Sughand, Supporter Relations and Direct Marketing Manager“Our work is important firstly because we don’t fly in a generic Western solution, we ask local women what they want to change and then support them to work together to make that change happen. And secondly because we build up the skills and strength of local women’s organisations so they are able to continue working to improve women’s rights themselves.”



What we do

www.womankind.org.uk 3WOMANKIND WORLDWIDE

Womankind Worldwide works to help

women transform their lives in Africa,

Asia and Latin America.

We believe that women are a powerful force

for change. We’re guided by the women we

work with and what they want to change in

their world. In supporting them we aim to:

End violence

against women

Increase women’s

participation and

political voice

Influence policy

for women’s rights

and development

In 2010-11 we worked in 12 countries –

Ethiopia, Ghana, Zimbabwe, South Africa,

Kenya, Uganda, Afghanistan, Nepal,

Bolivia, Peru, Albania and the UK – in

partnership with 30 women’s organisations.

We support these women-led organisations

through funding, skills and capacity

development, shared learning and

networking. Our partners provide direct

services to women, make women aware of

their rights, and lobby their governments to

improve policies and services. Womankind

also lobbies the UK government, donors,

the UN, international agencies and the EU to

develop policies and services which promote

and protect women’s rights and development.

The end result is that women have the

knowledge, skills and resources to claim their

rights and fully participate in society. We know

from our years of experience that this change

is possible, and its impact is far-reaching.

In no country in the world do women enjoy the same rights, access to resources or opportunities as men. Millions of women and girls face discrimination, poverty and violence just because they are female.

What we do

Catherine Klirodotakou, Programme Manager “We understand that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach towards eliminating gender inequality and our strength lies in our approach to partnership. We don’t try to compete with local women’s rights organisations. They understand the context, local women trust them, so we listen and we support them to make a change in their society.” www.womankind.org.uk

ANNUAL REPORT 2010/11Our approach

Womankind Worldwide is entirely dedicated to working directly with women’s organisations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. As well as direct support to our partners, Womankind draws on their experiences and successes to influence decision-makers and to change the way people think.

Developed over 20 years of experience our

effective approach creates lasting change on

three levels:

Change for individuals

• Delivering practical services such as safe

houses and legal advice, giving survivors

of violence support, skills and self-

confidence so that women are safer

• Providing education and information on

women’s rights so that women are aware

of, and claim their rights

Change for communities

• Giving women leaders the confidence,

skills and knowledge to support and

educate other women

• Training and supporting women’s groups

so that women can speak out together

• Educating community leaders to

improve understanding of and respect


• Changing community attitudes so that people

support women’s rights and development

Changing the big picture

• Educating decision-makers, such as judges

and the police to improve understanding

of women’s rights

• Lobbying for women’s involvement

in setting national priorities, such as

constitutional reform or peace building,

so that women can help set the agenda

• Sharing what works and what doesn’t,

lobbying for better legislation and holding

decision makers to account so that policies

and services protect women’s rights

and development

• Influencing the UK government and

international actors so that women’s

rights and development are prioritised

and properly resourced

Womankind works for change for individuals,

for their community, for everyone. It’s a

powerful combination. And for individual

women who challenge violence and

discrimination, it makes a difference too: it’s

easier to speak out when you find support in

your community and the world has started to

see things differently too.

Our approach

Meaza Berhanu, Ethiopia “After the training I received I have been sharing the information with other girls and community members in my village. Initially, people did not want to accept that FGM is a violation of women and girls’ rights. They said FGM was a part of our culture. But I did not give up and with other girls we continued to spread the message that FGM was a bad practice. Today, there are changes in the community and people are no longer circumcising as many girls as before.”

Between the work of our partners and our work in the UK there is so much we’d like to share from 2010-11, but we don’t have room for it all. Here are just a few highlights from the year.

Our highlights

Through our partners in 2010-11 Womankind Worldwide...

152,137 760,684 6m+Provided direct, sustained assistance to 152,137 women

Directly improved the lives of 760,684 women and their families through practical support to tackle violence, play an active role in society and claim their rights

Indirectly benefited over 6 million women and men through awareness raising work on women’s rights and changes to legislation and policies

By providing school materials, tutors, and

money for transport, Kembatta Mentti

Gezzimma (KMG) enabled 3,000 Ethiopian

girls to stay in school (where they’re less at

risk of Female Genital Mutilation)

As part of an awareness-raising drive by our

partner Musasa in Zimbabwe, 650 women and

girls to marched through the streets of Bulawayo

to protest about violence against women and

give out information to members of the public.

This year, thanks to the work of several of

our Ghanaian partners one community

has agreed to outlaw widow inheritance

altogether. Widow inheritance is a widespread

harmful traditional practice in Ghana: if a

man dies, a male relative marries his widow.

However this leaves women more vulnerable

to contracting HIV and AIDS.

Our partner Red-Ada in Bolivia put into

practice a new idea for reaching women

and giving them the chance to speak up

and be heard on issues around violence

against women, sexual health and women’s

rights. The Chasqui Bus project records 20

minute radio shows on a municipal bus and

broadcasts them on a local station. Red Ada

also gave out information on the bus about

women’s rights.

More than 1,500 people joined our

‘Speaking Out for Women’ campaign calling

on the government to prioritise women’s rights

in development. We presented the postcards

we received from supporters to Andrew

Mitchell, Secretary of State for International

Development at a meeting in December.

Rudo, Zimbabwe “My husband would beat me and even his own son using electric cords. I was afraid of him... When I came to ZWLA I saw other women talking about their problems, and felt comforted. I went through a horrible time, and I decided it had to come to an end. Before I went to court I was afraid. However, I was trained by ZWLA to represent myself and I just believed that I was right. They granted me a protection order. I am a free woman now. I am studying for a diploma. I am on top of the world because of ZWLA and Womankind.”



Our impact

9WOMANKIND WORLDWIDEwww.womankind.org.uk

Our partners do amazing work, and we’re proud to support them. But don’t just take our word for it, have a look at some of the changes we achieved together last year.

Our impact

In all countries women and girls of different

ages, classes, faiths and cultures experience

violence. Through our partners Womankind

provides practical ways to help women escape

violence, speak out about it, and change the

attitudes that allow it to happen.

In 2010-11 we directly improved the lives of over

75,000 women, men, girls and boys in Ethiopia

through the work of four local women’s

organisations. One of which – Kembatta Mentti

Gezzimma (KMG) – reached 22,635 women and

girls experiencing, or at risk of, violence through

their community education and confidence building

work. This represents a major step towards the goal

of ending female genital mutilation (FGM).

An aspect of violence against women that

is sometimes overlooked is women’s greater

vulnerability to HIV infection when women are

not able to control their own contraceptive

choices. In Ghana, we supported three women’s

organisations to help 15,000 women living with

violence who are at risk of contracting HIV.

Another important part of the equation

is working with men: also in Ghana our

partners worked directly with over 7,000

men to change their behaviour towards

women (with funding from DFID and Comic

Relief). After one project 90% of community

members reported a 60% reduction in

violence against women.

Changing deep-rooted ideas about violence

against women is a crucial part of stopping

it. By influencing decision makers in South

Africa as well as protecting and supporting

almost 500 women living with violence, two

of our partners changed the attitudes and

behaviours of over 70,000 people.

In Zimbabwe it was 4 million people, and

our partners also provided direct support to

27,000 women living with violence.

We know from experience that for progress

to gain momentum it’s important to work

for change at all levels. Helping individual

women and communities but also targeting

the other actors involved. With funding from

DFID and the Big Lottery Fund we helped four

local women’s organisations to influence the

attitudes and choices of nearly 1,500 policy

and decision makers in Peru.

And in the UK our education programme

helped to secure a government commitment

to work on preventing violence against

women and girls. Thanks to our research

and recommendations there is an increased

knowledge and understanding among

education policy makers of the importance of a

whole-school approach to tackling violence.

Irene Sapata, Bolivia “I know that women have rights, and that they must reclaim these rights, they have to say, stop, no more. This is the thing that I have learnt from Fundacion La Paz that I think has helped me the most. This is the idea that I have at the moment to aim higher – to study for what I want to do.”

Our impact

Womankind Worldwide helps women to

have a say not only in family life, but also

in the priorities of their community, their

region and their country – from helping

women come together to push for health

provision in their village, to letting women

know they have a legal right to vote or

leave a violent marriage.

In Afghanistan women are excluded from

politics, civil society and even from some

public spaces, shut out of nearly all forms of

decision-making. With Womankind’s support

the Afghan Women’s Resource Centre (AWRC)

empowered over 1,500 women to speak

out on women’s rights, through training in

management, report writing, leadership, civil

society and community mobilization.

It’s important to make sure women are

represented in political power structures, and

thanks to the work of our partners in Albania

the percentage of women parliamentarians in

the 2009 elections double that of the previous

elections in 2005, and of the 140 seats at the

Albanian Parliament, 23 were won by women.

Most importantly a gender quota which

forces political parties to involve women in

political positions and put their names forward

as candidates was introduced in 2010. Our

Albanian programme has now ended, but we

were proud to support the Albanian Centre

for Population and Development (ACPD) and

the International Forum of Albanian Women

(IFAW) with DFID funds.

We also worked to ensure that women were

‘at the table’ and able to participate in national

discussions. Through our partners in Ghana,

we enabled almost 3,000 women to participate

in key political and governance processes.

In Zimbabwe, over 3,500 women played

an active and meaningful role in the country’s

political reforms, which were dominated by

the constitutional reform process.

It is vital that women are able to contribute to

rebuilding work in post conflict states. In Nepal

the Feminist Dalit Organisation (FEDO) recruited

women Peace Ambassadors from the Dalit (low

caste) community who are doubly excluded

on grounds of gender and status. The Peace

Ambassadors have been trained in human rights,

peacebuilding, mediation and basic counselling

skills, and have used these to develop the skills

and confidence of over 4,000 Dalit

women who are now better

placed to participate

in peace building

processes in their

communities.

Rachel Carter, Head of Policy “I love the fact that, by working at Womankind, I am part of the global women’s movement – working worldwide to unite and strengthen the voice and impact of women’s human rights defenders – and to support all women and girls in achieving their rights. Womankind is a bridge between women worldwide - reminding me daily that our needs, rights, desires and dreams are the same across continents.”



Our impact


Our impact

A key part of our approach is looking at the

big picture as well as working to help individual

women. We work with national and international

actors to change attitudes and to put women’s

rights at the heart of laws and policies.

Violence against women and girls is now

a priority issue across the UK government

including the the Department for International

Development (DFID), evidenced by the fact

that violence against women and girls is a

key pillar in the new DFID gender vision. This

is partly due to our longstanding influencing

work; Womankind Worldwide had a

number of meetings with DFID civil servants

over the year to share our expertise.

We also helped to ensure that, for the first

time ever, the cross-government violence

against women and girls strategy includes a

separate section on International Violence

Against Women and Girls. And following

successful lobbying by Womankind and

others Lynne Featherstone MP was appointed

as the first UK government champion on

International Violence Against Women and

Girls in November 2010.

Following intensive work by women’s

organisations globally, the United Nations

General Assembly voted unanimously on

2 July 2010 to create a new agency to meet

the needs of women and girls worldwide –

UN Women. Womankind played a leading

role in writing an influential joint publication

UN Women: A new opportunity to deliver for

women which outlined key recommendations

on how the new agency should proceed – and

the support the UK government should provide.

Our overall charitable income increased 6% and expenditure increased 7% in 2010-11. A key reason for the increase in income is the loyal support of our individual donors and success in raising income from a small group of generous and committed major donors.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010/11Income and Expenditure

Womankind Worldwide is committed to delivering value for money throughout our work.

Our expenditure in 2010-11 was divided over our three strategic aims as follows:

The balance of spending between our aims

reflects their interlocking nature. It’s important

to stop violence for the sake of the individual

women who suffer abuse, but violence

against women is also a barrier to women’s

empowerment more broadly. Over the years, we

have seen that a woman who is in an abusive

relationship will find it harder to participate in the

discussions and decisions that govern her life.

The same is true for our second strategic

aim: while it’s vital to support more women

to participate in decision making because

they deserve the same opportunities as men

to speak up and be heard, we know that

increasing women’s participation and voice

also tends to stimulate positive changes

for all women, including better protection

against violence.

And the need for political will, high level

support and resources is common to both,

otherwise even the best plans will fall flat.

Indeed, widespread and sustainable change

is only achievable by bringing together those

who want to see a fair world for women and

girls, with those who have the power

to make it happen.

Looking ahead


Looking ahead

Looking ahead

In 2011-12 we will build on our successes and go further to help women claim their rights in Africa, Asia and Latin America

Here are a few of our key goals:

• Increase the number of women we help

to escape violence, whether through

legal advice and representation, providing

accommodation and services or support

and counselling.

• Strengthen our partners by delivering

training and tailored support, increasing

the organisational capacity of at least

60% of our partners.

• Improve the position of at least one

country in the UNDP Gender Inequality

Index and one in the World Economic

Forum Gender Gap Report.

• Increase our understanding and evidence

base on violence against women and

conflict related topics.

And here are some of our new projects:

• In January 2011 Womankind Worldwide

began a DFID funded project to develop an

international advocacy toolkit and training

on MDG3 – the Millennium Development

Goal focused on promoting gender

equality and the empowerment of

women. The toolkit will be launched

in eight countries in 2011.

• In 2011 Womankind will begin

working in Kenya, building on research

into the context and the women’s

movement in the country.

• We’re also starting work in Uganda to

support mobilising women to campaign

against violence and training a core group

of community advocates for women’s

rights and the full implementation of the

Domestic Violence Act.

• In Sierra Leone Womankind will start

new work supporting survivors of violence

to claim their rights, particularly providing

practical support for them to access the

formal justice system.

• We will also explore opportunities for

developing a long-term programme of

work Liberia, focusing on supporting

women in post conflict contexts, which is

planned to begin in 2012.

Womankind’s permanent staff have been

fortunate enough to have the assistance and

time of 18 excellent volunteers during the

year. Womankind is extremely grateful for the

extra capacity and expertise they brought to

the organisation.

We’d like to say a sincere thank you from everyone at Womankind Worldwide to all our friends and supporters. We are touched that even in this difficult financial and political climate we have received gifts large and small from new and existing donors, allowing us to continue and to expand our vital work.

Roh gul, Afghanistan “There were a lot of problems in the community. There was much domestic violence: the husband would beat his wife, even if she was pregnant, for not doing everything he said, such as not cleaning the house or not getting him a glass of water when he asked. I have seen a lot of changes though… I travel to the centre and then share everything I learn about women’s rights to the women and men in my community. I educate them about how wrong forced marriages are at a young age and that women have the right to chose who and when they want to be married.”
