The ONSIDE Fund recognises that feminism is understood differently across regions, countries, and communities, and there are multiple and diverse forms of feminism. We are also aware that, in some contexts, openly identifying as feminist might pose a risk to the safety of girls, women, and/or non-binary people. For these reasons, we ask applicants to focus on their own definition of feminism, including the principles and practices that guide their work, and how it is informed by the contexts and communities they are part of and/or support.
