Bulgarian Fund for Women

Commit ▪ Act ▪ Demand:  We CAN End Violence Against Women!

Commit: We are All Responsible
In 1991 when 23 women from around the world met together at the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute at the Center for Women’s Global Leadership and envisioned the 16 Days Campaign, it was unlikely that any of them could have foreseen the incredible success of the campaign as a mobilizing tool.

For five years since our  establishment, we have supported financially 100 projects of local NGOs aiming to:

• eliminate all forms of violence against women;
• support the economic independence of women by reducing women's poverty and unemployment;
• encourage women's active participation in political and public life and their promotion in decision-making positions;
• achieve equal opportunities for women's groups in disadvantaged position;
• protect rights of women with different sexual orientation;
• ensure women's access to high technologies; 
• build young women and girl’s leadership capacity;
• provide access to health care for all girls and women as part of their basic  human rights.
