Call for Applications: Women of the South Speak Out Fellowship (WOSSO) Fellowship for the Asia-Pacific

This is a poster that highlights the WOSSO fellowship's call for application.

Women of the South Speak Out (WOSSO), is a consortium formed by Gender Links (GL), Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW), and Mannion Daniels (MD). The WOSSO Fellowship is at the core of this consortium.

The consortium members were brought together by shared feminist values and deep concern regarding the narrowing civic space, particularly for young women in the Global South.

Over the next five years (2023-2027), the consortium will amplify the voices of young women in all their diversity from the global south to inform decision-making and policy-making that impact our lives. WOSSO will support and facilitate women’s rights organisations and young women leaders to meaningfully engage in key advocacy meetings and implement advocacy initiatives at the national level.

Introduction to the WOSSO Fellowship⬇️

WOSSO will offer fellowships to young women from the Global South, including the Asia-Pacific between the ages of 18 and 35 over an initial 18 month period starting from August 2024. These advocates must be affiliated to a women’s rights organisation or network, and have an advocacy initiative that they are working on that will be enhanced through regional and global advocacy.

The fellows will engage in regional advocacy spaces and participation in global conferences is subject to the nature of the advocacy initiative, logistics and other considerations.

WOSSO Fellowship Objectives💡

  • Guide Fellows in carrying out their personal advocacy plans, creating linkages and connections with local and regional levels.
  • Equip the Fellows with tools, knowledge, skills, and capacity to effective champion and advocate for gender equality in national, regional, and international levels and advocacy spaces.

Benefits🏅

  • The fellowship includes a small grant paid in tranches upon achieving agreed-upon milestones and the advocacy plan.
  • Participation in at least one regional advocacy space.
  • Participation in global conference/advocacy space will depend on the nature of the advocacy initiative, logistics, and other factors.
