Decades of economic expansion have produced more material wealth, consumption and technological advances than humanity has ever seen, but have simultaneously compromised our most basic life support system: planet earth. Humans are systematically destroying the ecosystems and biospheres of our planet, destabilizing the fragile environmental equilibrium that allows and accommodates life as we know it. Industrialization, fossil fuel combustion, land-use change and overexploitation of resources have raised the global mean surface temperature by almost 0.9 °Celsius since the end of the 19th century. The consequences include rising sea levels, loss of formerly arable lands, population displacement by extreme weather such as violent storms and floods, prolonged droughts, biodiversity loss, mass extinctions, watershed destabilization, and life-threatening food scarcity.

Based on the results from the study “Mapping the current status and potential of administrative sources of data on gender-based violence in the EU”, an online ‘mapping tool’ has been developed.
This tool provides information on the current status of the main administrative data sources and statistical products containing data on GBV at EU-level (data collected in 2013).
The aim of the ’online mapping tool’ is to contribute to the efforts at EU-level for the collection of comparable data on different types of violence against women across the EU-28. to The information will help to ascertain the real extent of the phenomenon of GBV in the European Union and support the Member States in identifying appropriate solutions to the problem.
Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights is a global women’s fund that protects, strengthens and sustains women and transgender human rights defenders at critical moments. We intervene quickly when activists are poised to make great gains or face serious threats to their lives and work. We use online, text and mobile funding applications to respond to requests from women’s human rights defenders within 72 hours and have funds on the ground within 1-7 days.
Urgent Action Fund builds the resilience of women’s rights and movements in three ways:
-
Rapid Response Grantmaking: We award rapid response grants to women and transgender human rights defenders in Asia, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe, and North America. Activists apply for grants of up to $5,000 USD in any language on any day of the year and are guaranteed a response within 72 hours.
-
Advocacy & Alliance-Building: We leverage the power we have as a funder to advocate for women and transgender human rights defenders.
-
Global Consortium of Urgent Action Funds: We are one of three Urgent Action Funds. Together with our sister funds: Urgent Action Fund-Africa and Urgent Action Fund-Latin America, we collectively support women and girls’ activism globally.
Women and girls at the center: Our human rights are non-negotiable
Currently, Member States, the UN system, civil society organizations, academia, private sector and businesses, research institutions and other stakeholders around the world are engaged in various processes to negotiate a new global framework for sustainable development - the post-2015 development agenda. Cognizant of the pitfalls of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), including the lack of focus on realizing women’s rights in the goal of promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment, it is essential that the future development agenda be explicitly shaped by, and grounded in human rights, economic justice, peace and environmental sustainability to ensure gender equality, the realization of women’s rights and women’s empowerment.
Shifts and realities on the ground, such as the deepening and widening inequalities within and between countries, ongoing and new conflicts, increasing militarization, surveillance, intensification of natural disasters, gender-based violence, increases in human insecurity, and retrogression in the realization of human rights for all, make it clear that the post 2015 sustainable development agenda must focus on the enabling environment and economic structures that limit the realization of women’s rights and social justice. Progress towards ending poverty, hunger, inequalities from an intersectional approach, the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence against girls and women as well as links between gender-based violence and impunity, militarization, military spending, forced migration, displacement, and expropriation of livelihoods especially for rural and indigenous women, and the prevalence of small arms must be addressed if meaningful gains are to be made.
