Lydia Alpízar, the Executive Director of AWID, explains why financing for gender equality matters: without resources there is no implementation of hard-won political commitment to uphold women's human rights.
The Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) is an international membership organization connecting, informing and mobilizing people and organizations committed to achieving gender equality, sustainable development, and women's human rights. Their goal is to cause policy, institutional and individual change that will improve the lives of women and girls everywhere.
This interview was conducted in collaboration with the Center for Women’s Global Leadership and their event Human Rights for Women; Human Rights for All. The event, which coincided with the UN's Global Status of Women conference, celebrated the the depth and diversity of the women’s movement and honored the commitment of women’s human rights defenders around the world.
