Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI) Human rights

New opportunity for journalists in Global South countries Equality Fund partners with Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) and African Women in Media (AWiM)

Our world is in a crucial moment. Global violence is increasing, democracy is crumbling and human rights are under attack. We need all hands on deck to create powerful, fact-based storytelling that inspires decision-makers, in public and private settings.

The Equality Fund Journalism Fellowship seeks to surface the stories of local solutions to global crises, with a focus on gender, through selecting 5 journalists in ODA-eligible countries.

“Fact-based reporting can change the world. We will support the work of journalists reporting in their own communities to shift whose solutions are brought into view. Whether it’s reporting on women farmers or first responders, whether the crisis is about human rights, democracy or gender-based violence, our world needs an intervention—and women are already doing this work,” says Jess Tomlin, CEO of the Equality Fund.

"We are proud to partner with the Equality Fund Journalism Fellowship as we further our mission, building on our ten-year track record of capacity building, research and advocacy. We believe transformative change in media systems is essential for achieving gender equality across Africa and beyond,” says Dr. Yemisi Akinbobola, CEO of African Women in Media (AWiM).

Equality Fund has also partnered with Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE). “For more than 40 years, CJFE has been championing journalism, and defending courageous reporting, and we're delighted to join forces with the Equality Fund for this fellowship. These journalism fellows will be doing work that could not be more crucial at this time,” says journalist and CJFE co-president Michelle Shephard.

Timing and Overview

In 2026, the Equality Fund will launch the call for applicants in several phases Fall 2026 and roll out the program in early 2027 with a cohort of up to 5 journalists.

Objective

At least one story published per journalist fellow, reporting on local solutions to global crises, with a focus on gender

Examples of global crises include climate, gender-based violence, authoritarianism, anti-rights movements, rollback of sexual and reproductive rights and health, economic injustice, war and conflict.

Selection Criteria

We will welcome applications from women, men and LGBTQI+ people
Working journalists in any platform (text, digital, video, audio) in ODA-recipient countries
In a phased application process, shortlisted applicants will be asked to submit a letter of editorial commitment from a news outlet (in some cases of self-publishing, this may be substituted with a fact-checking plan)
