General information

1.1 Introduction

Fòs Feminista is as an intersectional feminist organization centred around the sexual and reproductive rights and needs of women, girls, and gender-diverse people. Led and governed by the Global South, Fòs Feminista works as an alliance of organizations in 40+ countries worldwide to advance sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice. As the connecting fabric of this alliance, Fòs Feminista orchestrates transnational and transregional action, amplifies partners’ work, and promotes South-South learning and collaboration toward achieving common objectives. 

 

Together with our partners, we provide access to sexual and reproductive health care, including contraception, abortion, and care for victims of gender-based violence, and we reach young people with comprehensive sexuality education. We recognize that the ability of women, girls, and gender-diverse people to make free and informed choices about their sexual and reproductive lives, including access to safe and legal abortion, is central to their life plans and to achieving gender and reproductive justice. As such, we are at the forefront of advocating for sexual and reproductive health and rights from an intersectional lens in national, regional, and global spaces, coordinating with our partners to ensure that diverse experiences, priorities, and voices of the Global South are represented in these spaces.

 

In December of 2021, Fòs Feminista signed a four-year grant agreement for the project titled Pathways to Reproductive Justice: Intersectional Feminist Approaches to Advancing Health and Rights in Latin America with Sida, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. The overall objective of the project is to advance an intersectional feminist development agenda in Latin America that centres reproductive justice. 

 

This consultancy falls under the third objective of this project. The third specific objective of the project is to strengthen and amplify evidence-based feminist approaches to emergency preparedness and response, including migration, public health, and climate emergencies. Work toward this objective aims to generate evidence of the need for intersectional feminist responses that position sexual and reproductive health as essential for women, girls, and gender-diverse people wherever they are, including in emergency settings and along migration routes. 

Under this objective, the intent of this consultancy is to develop a practical tool for our partners to use to evaluate and share information on their feminist responses, in terms of service delivery and advocacy, in humanitarian settings, as defined by Fòs Feminista as part of a recently commissioned study. The application of this tool will allow Fòs Feminista to better measure and bring visibility to our partners feminist responses in humanitarian settings.
