Overview

Comic Relief want to make targeted investments in UK women’s organisations which provide frontline services to meet the needs of women and girls facing multiple disadvantage across one or more strands of VAWG (Child Sexual Exploitation, Coercive Control, Domestic Abuse, Harmful Practices (FGM, FM, HBV), Image-based sexual offending, Misogyny, Prostitution, Sexual harassment, Sexual violence & rape, Stalking, Trafficking).

Proposals should respond to one or more of this programme’s aims:

Expand reach and support for women and girls who face additional barriers in accessing services such as BAMER (Black, Asian Minority Ethnic and Refugee), older, LBTI (Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex), and disabled communities;
Capture the lived experiences of women and girls to inform the design and delivery of services, practice and policy;
Coordinate cross sector partnerships to build more trauma-informed, joined-up care pathways that meet the holistic needs of women and girls.
