Abstract: Abstract In a rapidly changing global operating environment, women’s rights organizations and social justice allies are finding it increasingly important to identify and investigate global trends affecting funding for women’s rights and gender equality. Five key trends identified and discussed in this article include that (1) the space for active citizen and civil society engagement continues to shrink, (2) the private (and in particular corporate) sector presence in women’s rights work is both growing and evolving, (3) the growing global crises of climate change, increases in refugees and migration patterns are being used by governments to redirect ODA, (4) forms of organizing, collaborating and raising resources are shifting away from traditional models and finally (5) shifting political and economic climates particularly in the BRICS and elsewhere leads to both new challenges and opportunities for resourcing women’s rights and gender equality.
