Highlights
In 2025, women’s rights and civil society organizations were keeping shelters open, accompanying survivors to court, training communities, and staying when everyone else leaves while the ground shifted beneath them. Backlash, funding cuts, conflict and displacement drove violence against women and girls higher as civic spaces narrowed.
Our Annual Report 2025 lays out what we found, and what five years of sustained investment in women's rights organizations made possible despite these immense challenges.
Thirty years after the Beijing Platform for Action, the global crisis of violence against women and girls is deepening, not receding. It is against this reality that the UN Trust Fund marked its 30th anniversary during CSW70 and launched its Strategic Plan 2026–2030 at the high-level event during CSW70.
Four years into the war in Ukraine, women’s rights organizations remain vital to protection and survival. Three active grantee partners of the UN Trust Fund, Insight, Club Eney, and VESTED are reaching women who have nowhere else to turn. From evacuations to legal identity restoration and lifesaving support for key populations, they continue to adapt in real time.
In Nepal, Shakti Milan Samaj provides lifeline support services to women and girls at risk of being left behind - including women survivors of sex trafficking, wives of migrant workers, women working in the entertainment sector, and women living with HIV.
