Leadership Movement building Political participation
To support promising/leading feminist voices from the Global South in better accessing these spaces and sharing their expertise, the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Washington, DC offers three fellowships for CSW participation. The fellowship will fully cover participants’ travel costs to attend the CSW, provide passes to the CSW meetings, as well as opportunities to attend supplementary meetings and events tailored to the fellowship.

The programming will focus on the two themes of the next CSW session, which will take place in New York City from March 11-22, 2024

Participants are free to choose CSW and NGO side events how they see fit. In advance of the sessions, the Heinrich Böll Foundation will organize additional meetings with like-minded actors and workshops that can help participants shape their interventions at the CSW.
The key objectives of this fellowship opportunity are:
  • To provide a learning and networking experience for emerging feminist leaders in development and foreign policy. As a result, participants will be better able to pursue their policy and advocacy aims and tap into a global network of like-minded change-makers.
  • Enable more inter-generational and cross-regional debate on feminist development and foreign policy.
  • Serve as a mechanism through which emerging feminist leaders can identify issues that require further debate and/or advocacy, and where exchange between relevant actors can be facilitated

WHO CAN APPLY

We seek candidates who are emerging feminist leaders and activists in the fields of human rights, reproductive rights, decolonial struggles etc. They are actively engaged in developing and shaping feminist development and foreign policy in at least one of the following ways, preferably related to the two issue areas of the upcoming CSW:
  • as leaders and activists in civil society organizations (e.g. supporting feminist approaches to development policy on the ground)
  • as elected officials or policy advisors at local, state, national, or supra-regional level (e.g. implementing feminist foreign & development policy, Women, Peace & Security agenda)
  • as students, researchers, or teachers in academia or think tanks (e.g. researching women’s and queer rights and representation with an international lens)
  • as entrepreneurs in the private sector (e.g. developing creative solutions in support of gender equality and women’s and queer human rights)

Candidates should explain how their work or activism is related to issues of either feminist foreign policy and/or feminist development policy and articulate how their participation at the CSW will advance their efforts. Candidates should generally be between the ages of 21 and 35 and have not attended the CSW in the past.

Regional background: In 2024, we are seeking applicants based in Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Caucasus Region.

Please note that professional competency in English is required.
