In 2025, DAWN announced a new fellowship programme for young women feminists from the Global South. To kick off 2026, we proudly announce a new cycle of this fellowship, again focused on The Political Economy of Gender-Based Violence and Conflict, supporting a younger woman feminist with proven commitment to women’s rights and gender justice to develop projects that deepen understanding of how gender-based violence and conflict shape gender dynamics, amplifying women’s feminist voices in public discourse.
We aim to support young women feminists from the Global South in undertaking innovative projects focused on research, advocacy, mobilisation, resistance, or creative expression, and to provide a platform to share their work with diverse local and international audiences.
Geographic focus
This cycle will consider only projects engaging with conflict-affected contexts in: Sudan, Palestine, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Application Deadline: 1 March 2026
