UN Women’s UN Trust Fund to end Violence against Women provides grants ranging from US $100,000 to US $300,000 to both grassroots NGOs as well as large organizations. It is one of the largest source of funding for NGOs working on promotion of gender equality and addressing gender-based discrimination in different countries around the world.
As organizations prepare to respond to this opportunity and also other calls for proposals on the same issue, we have researched and compiled a set of ideas that can be used for planning and proposing projects in this context.

Daer sir/Madam
At first I am introducing myself and activities.
My name Enayet Ullah racially a Rohingya living in Thailand since 1995 left from Burma for political belief. Since I am in Thailand working with many humanatarian organizations as a human rights activist not only for Rohingya but also for all Burmese people.
1-Our women and children are regularly abusing the rights in Thailand because of their lack of documents and lack of education by all sides. Here in Thailand, especially women & children are trafficked as same as commodities and we “ARCT” is working towards restore the rights of vulnerable women and kids from Burma to Thailand illegally and sold to the hand of human traffickers where the clients fundamental rights are looted, such like physical and mental abusing also sexual ways. Additionally, using as illicit drug carriers what is very dangerous which taken away their future and living in the prison for whole life.
In this critical time, when I see your this appreciable initiative step to help these vulnerable women. In my understanding the first we have to improve their basic human rights defending education. I am working hard on it for several years but no any fund I had recieved. Today my a close friend encoureged me to write to you this letter.
Therefore I am trying to write with my poor English skill to your kind office. I would like to meet with your Thai representative in Maesot a Thai-Burma border city. I am well known in here to the poorest families. Coincidently, I am working towards for my community in Thailand where you can rarely find a Rohingya activist here.
My second job is here:
2-Rohingya is one of the most hapless people on earth. They are victims of perpetual persecutions in their homeland under military regime. These ill-fated people have been subjected to massive human rights violations because of their ethnicity, creed and color obviously not in line with national constitutions and international norms. They are not equal before the law and social justice is blatantly for Rohingya in any part of entire Burma (Maynamar).
Upon consideration of all prevalent circumstance, some of conscious Rohingyas who have been residing in Thailand proposed to form a socio-welfare association under the banner of “Burmese Rohingya Association in Thailand (BRAT). Due to unhealthy activities among a few executives it gradually failed to advance its noble cause and eventually became inactive.
We on the other hand sincerely believe that we exiled Rohingyas can’t afford to be silent for the sake of our suffering people who have been suffering day in and day out. They need our voice and they need our help to advocate their suffering among regional and international communities. Thus we initiate a new association with the name of Arakanese Rohingya Community in Thailand (ARCT).
We would like to work sincerely and selflessly to should and advance our community in the filed of education, health care, National Verification Process (NV), human rights violationrecords on Burmese people in Thailand and else where,etc and facilitate process and help understand our people.
Education is the best investment in life. We believe that the failure to access education by our elders and our youth and children have partly descended our situation to this abysmal level. Unfortunately, we still pay minimum attention to even uplift our basic education. We strongly believe that to free ourselves from subjugation and oppression, we must educate ourselves and our people.
As such we feel that our generous people must com forward in order to make this dream possible and achieve our noble objective with all-out supports and contributions.
In this regard, ARCT needs some the following monetary and non-money tory contributions from our brothers and sisters:
1 A Digital camera to take pictures as lesion for learners.
2 A video Camera to record the cases of human rights violation and other essentials.
3 An Automatic recorder to make the record verses.
4 The some Desktop computers to keep network with important offices, teaching the basic computer training to the learners and other essentials.
5 A Copy machine to make the copies
6 A slide show plash player to teach through the screen.
7 To rent a place with 2 storey building to establish the office cum residence of learner and worker of this project in Maesot area based at Thai-Burma border contained with:
(a) 1 guest room
(b) 1 learner Room with some partisan for the classes
(c) 1 computer room
(d) 1 workshop hall
(e) 1 kitchen room with kitchen equipments and appliances
(f) Some official accessories
(g) 1 Record room
(h) Some table, chairs for the trainers to hold the workshops.
Providing only basic meal and tea coffee for the volunteers, visitors and learners.
2-Health: ARCT hope that, it is very essential for escape the transmitted diseases and epidemic.
(a) ARCT would like to train some volunteers as health workers with their own language to explain the community of essentiality of the health care.
(b) After these trainers back from their training, they will work on fields as volunteers cooperating with other health related NGOS workers in across the Thailand.
3-To arise the issue of NV process failures Rohingya people to the Thai authority with the help of adequate human rights NGOs Amnesty International, Human Rights development Foundation and related Migrants watchers.
4- To Improve understanding between Thai people and Rohingya as well as with other racial Burmese people living in Thailand.
We ARCT have needed to translate some historical books in Thai for Thai people to alleviate the misunderstanding on Rohingya and other racial Burmese people in Thailand.
5- To required to create a desk with our sister community Rakhine to improve the tolerable and harmonious co-existence in Arakan , Burma .
6- The Rohingya survey is very essential to know how many Rohingya are in Thailand, who are in where, how long and their condition in Thailand since they are here in Thailand.
All above mentioned will be needed approximately about US $ ten thousand dollars..
These all the running program and workshop can be evaluated by your kind office in any time.
Sincerely yours
Enayet Ullah Presidium Member

Africans would not want to talk about. Thanks for the opportunity.

thanks very much for that initiative, in fact women in our country suffer serious injustices in many institutions like health, education,politics and many other fields.there is increased domestic violence against women and children. i work in CARA-Uganda as a human rights activist, but in most cases we right proposals to reduce and end violence against women, but the selection criteria end up missing us out, but we hope to join hands so that we can end domestic violence for economic development, because i believe that if women are empowered, development will be enhanced in the society. thanks.

I must commend on your good initiatives. This is exactly what I crave for. We need some right and strategic thinking women activist to advocate for the rights of women in my country. I have the zeal and tenacity to execute this project mission on violence against women in my country. Others may have been doing it but not to the extent that I want to undertake this project. Mine is a peculiar case because I am a victim, so I want to fight for others facing abuses and violence. If we don’t fight now to erase this ugly mentality, our children will continue to face the same problem. So the best thing is to fight now and save our daughters/young girls from this dilemma and also teach them to be empowered economically to be able to absorb the shock and fight for their rights because these acts are inevitable.
The issue of women policy: I would like to advocate for a body that guides and protects women against violence in my country Nigeria which will be punishable by an act of law if such case is reported. That includes forming a Ministry for women under the government and a crime commission in charge of violence against women.
The issue of gender discrimination: I come from the part of country where it seems to be a taboo for women to contest or occupy a higher political appointment like Presidential post, yet so many of us are ably qualified than the said men. Power intoxication, bribery and corruption have lead to breading of leaders whose sees their position as an opportunity to emancipate funds rather than a clarion call.
In commencement, I intend to apply the following strategy for this project:
•Organize youth campaign on violence against women in my country
•Organize youth debate on violence against women which will be aired on television a radio
•Sensitize the media to be actively involved in all programs
•Organize workshops/seminar and the target audience are; the stakeholders, media, urban and rural women, the youths, Lawmakers, religious leaders. And more.
•Further campaign and advocacy on women policy and gender equality through the media, petition to the presidency and other bodies involved in passing the law.
I am asking for a support and partnership to start and possibly actualize this mission. Obviously, this program will require funds and machineries. I really wish that this campaign will be sponsored and supported to wipe the tears of many women out here. Thanks! Proposed:”Women Alert for Change”
I WANT TO DETAIL ABOUT THE PROJECT. PLEASE TELL ME HOW CAN WE WORK IN THIS PROJECT AS A NGO IN OUR LOCAL AREA IN DISTRICT REWA M.P.
Foundation for Developmental Research, Chandigarh, Working for rural women and abandoned children.we are interested to submit a proposal on empowerment of women and their rehabilitation, those who are effected with domestic violence.We want guidelines for prepration of project proposal.

Dear. Sir and Madam
People Health Development Association (PHD) is youth lead organization is committed to work with and for young people for strengthen local communities through building processes for positive contributions and young people’s participation for develop official youth capacity development mechanism for effective youth participation in civil society to create positive social change by improving and promoting youth participation in Cambodian social issues.
PHD strives to improve and promote youth participation and empowerment in social work and community through promote youth rights, The organization enables people ages 15-27 to participate in the development and implementation of policies and plans that promote improved sexual and reproductive health and gender equality and prevent gender based violence, STDs including HIV/AIDS, and drug-related harm.
The powerful participatory learning and actions will be applied in all project activities to promote youth participation and youth empowerment in response to youth issues related to rights to against of violence and increased understanding of the gender concern by linking to awareness of women rights and human rights, gender equality and to promote responsible and respectful behavior among young men as to respect of women rights (Women as Human and Women Rights is Human Rights) through communities and classroom- based learning, hand on leadership training in the work setting implementation of group leadership action plans, participated will broad range of skill and knowledge, including understanding in communities of personal leadership on right base approach and social mobilization
Thus, PHD advocates and creates an enabling environment to support youth activities that improve of youth participation and empowerment in the development and implementation of policies and plans that promote improved through of youth rights, the social conceptions about gender relations, sexual and reproductive health rights and youth civic.
Men Engagement to Stop Violence against Women Project of People Health Development Association (PHD) will be a 3 year project working directly with young university students between age of 18-28 in twelve universities in Phnom Penh focus on integrated gender mainstreaming and sexual reproductive health to promote responsible relationship among young urban male. The project seek to reduce levels of GBV and sexual harassment of beer promotion women in the workplace perpetrated by young men and increase understanding of gender equality and equity as well as sexual reproductive health of young man in the university. The project will work in partnership with CARE International in Cambodia, key government partners including Ministry of Women’s Affairs, Ministry of Education Youth and Sport, Ministry of Interior, civil society, private universities, young man, and beer promoters to address gender stereotypes and gender inequality that root deeply in Cambodia Society.
The project will bring together classroom- based learning, hand on leadership training in the work setting implementation of group leadership action plans, participated will broad range of skill and knowledge, including understanding in communities of personal leadership on right base approach,
Some university students display high levels of arrogance, associated with privilege and impunity, and this can contribute to high risk behaviors, sexual violence towards their partner or sweetheart and entertainment workers including beer promoting girls. There is also peer pressure among some (male) social groups to buy sex and use drugs. Moreover PHD advocates and creates an enabling environment among stakeholder to support with young people activities to ensure the better of social concept about sexual relation, sexual Harassments, GBV and reproductive health rights and sexual behavior among young people as refer to beer promoter rights,
Anyway Masculinity is deeply concept of social norm in Cambodia. The way men view themselves as men, and the way they view women, will determine whether they use violence or coercion against women. When women and girls are expected to be generally subservient, their behaviour in relation to their health, including reproductive health, is negatively affected at all stages of the life cycle. The prevalence of domestic violence in a given society, therefore, is the product of gender-based inequalities, and tacit acceptance by society.
The opportunity for organisations like PHD is to more deliberately seek ways to break the silence surrounding violence against women in Cambodia, and to ensure that the voices of women are heard, especially among of beer promoter rights while at the same time, also more deliberately working to change the paradigm of masculinity that allows for the resolution of conflict through violence. This means engaging men– policy makers, parents and young men alike – in conversations about male socialization and gender roles, and the dynamics and consequences of violence. These are conversations that can and should be empowering for men as well as women. and create to ensure a safer and more respectful working environment for beer promoters (BP) from the harassment and violence
The Men Engagement to Stop Violence against Women project will engage young men to promote social change and reduce violence in the live of women, this project aims to implement the project activities on reduced levels of GBV and Sexual Harassments of beer promoter in the workplace perpetrated by young men and increase understanding of gender inequality and society factor that support inequality among university students by to increase knowledge through the complement goals of developing a new generation of young people in the communities and strengthening the enabling environment for beer promoter free from sexual harassment and violence,
The Men Engagement to Stop Violence against Women Project of People Health Development Association (PHD) has developed a sound of understanding of equality of gender, sexual harassment and violence to women and girl and specify link to beer promoter in the Cambodia social context as well as strong skills in the provision of life skills training, out reach activities, referral system as including with social services and health promotion through within the framework of a rights based approach of women rights is human rights ( Fundamental of Human Rights) and creating more respectful and safer working environment for beer promoter,
I strong believed that PHD, it could be apart of Ideas project in Cambodia as activist of youth lead organization that is working on gender issues, gender based violence among young people and university students
we want to create a project on economic empowerment against domestic violation of women ,can you pls guide us or write a project for us ,for that we are prepared to pay.

The Forum of Anglo Indian Women has been in existence from 1996.However in March this year on International Women’s Day we launched “The White Ribbon Campaing for Violence Against Women in Chennai India. To highlight November 25, 2010, we launched a sentisation programme among 300 autorickshaw drivers in Chennai.Autorickshaws are a commonly used form of transport after the public bus service. So we used the drivers of autorickshaws to be our Ambassadors in this campaign. They were made to read the pledge from pledge cards which were given to them, wear the white ribbon, stick posters on the glass of their vehicles and tell their passengers what White Ribbon is all about.It was a very successful campaign. India as you know, lives through many centuries at the same time. We are top of the world in IT, but the caste system, dowry system, female infanticide and many other biases against women still exist, making them the weaker sex and hence the butt of male violence. Hence we have started this campaign and plan to go to other cities in India and publicise and make men aware of the campaign.What are the guidelines for funding and how do we apply – please let me know.
Plz tell us the last date for submitting proposals and What is the format for the proposal?
Thanks a lot fot this effort.

Developing ideas has always been a challenge to many organisation in developing countries. An initiative like this gives a chance to many to realise the gaps that they can fulfill. I commend this idea as the best way to encourage organisations to come up with orginal ideas using the examples given. Let organisations use this, in a way of fighting for the rights of the marginalised groups and development in Africa
Thank you for this guidance. It will help the organization that work in women issues in Mozambique. Domestic violence against women is a cronic problem in our country and we are open for new ideas on how to deal with this problem.
Thank you very much for this great development. This is a welcome idea as a channel to fight Violence against Women most especially the Vulnerable Widows. I was one of the representative from Cross River state in the Zonal Consultation of Girls and Women forum organize by The United Nations UN at Delta State from 9th – 12th November, 2010. I raise a vital point about the case of a Widow driven away by the husband people and the house properties cease from her. I really appreciate this Idea as a tool to empower the women. As a Clergy fighting for the right of the Widows in my organization and calabar Municipality at large, I will love to take up the project of Empowering of the Vulnerable Women through Knowledge and Awareness.
Thanks for this God’s given Vision for the women to arise and shine like the star in the sky.

I am a self styled, unemployed, volunteer advocate of women’s plight at my own capacity though not recognized at a wider scope. Encouraged by this zeal, i initiated and founded a baby organization called Women Effort for Peace and Development with 12 other ladies, with its registration under way. At the moment we are actually operating on petty contributions from the 13 members for initial stage costs.
Thank you very much for this new wave of opportunity to help improve women’s lives world over. My concern is the limited nature of the interventions at Urban or Peri-urban areas. Most of the women involved are normally in urban areas and therefore, not willing and ready to go in to grass roots owing to the appalling conditions therein.
Donors or grant organizations also give criteria that do not favor new players in to the field owing to the series of demands in form of requirements to access the funds. This makes it if not difficult but impossible for new initiators of programmes or organizations, after a serious assessment and analysis of what is on ground, to access such supportive funds to help them grow and render services to rural women. For instance, asking for full employment details yet one maybe a volunteer coming up with such an initiative due to the untold suffering of abuse and discrimination of unemployed women, with an intention to create jobs for self and other women. How best can such category of women be helped out even with start up grants? It would be good to have a strategy whereby the grass root women have to be fully involved and participate vigorously in bringing the desired change as they know their own problems better thus better placed to identify befitting solutions if supported. Unlike an intermediator who does not even know the exact problem but deals on sample assumptions. I’ll be very much available and willing to participate just as i registered to join the “SayNo” campaign by Good Hope Ambassador Nicole Kidman. Thanks, Esther
