Women's rights and LGBT+ movements in Africa and Asia: a rapid scoping review
Closed: The FCDO invited proposals by 27 February 2024 to conduct a rapid scoping review of women’s rights and LGBT+ organisations countering the rollback of rights in Africa and Asia.
This call for proposals closed on 27 February 2024.
The purpose of this Evidence Fund evaluation is to rapidly review the research literature on feminist movements, women’s rights, gender justice, and LGBT+ organisations countering the rollback of rights in selected African and Asian countries.
The rapid scoping review (RSR) aims to understand the scope of these movements, identify their strategies and funding sources, and highlight research gaps.
The review will guide the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) to counter rights rollbacks, by developing and implementing of the Countering Rollback Workplan led by the FCDO’s Women and Girls Department.
What the fund will achieve
The review should aim to cover:
-
what is the nature of women’s and LGBT+ rights organisations and feminist and gender justice movements involved in countering the rollback of rights in a range of selected countries? On what issues and themes are they most active?
-
what tactical and/or strategic approaches have these organisations and movements adopted to counter the rollback? How are these organisations and movements funded? To what extent have the effectiveness of these approaches on various themes been evaluated?
-
where are the most significant gaps in global understanding of where and which organisations are operating, on what themes, and their effectiveness on reducing rollback across various themes?
