Our 8th call for applications in 2022, culminated in the induction of 98 new grantee partners from 57 countries and we are thrilled to not only welcome them to the FRIDA community but to introduce them and their transformative work to you. As you move through this zine, which is available in 6 languages, you will not only learn about the new FRIDA grantee partners and their work but also read love notes that they have written in gratitude to those who have voted for them in the participatory selection process.
This Toolkit was created for young, feminist organizers from WESCA who are at the forefront of their movements, tirelessly working towards radical systemic change for LGBTQI+ people in their communities. The toolkit is a collective labor of love, co-led by the Creative Action Institute and designed by Lynn Atieno. It represents an amalgamation of research and consultations with current FRIDA grantee partners from the WESCA region who are part of the LGBTQI+ community and whose organizations focus on this area of work. The toolkit is available in English, French, and Portuguese, and for the first time in FRIDA’s history, it is also available in Swahili. With Swahili being the most widely-spoken language on the African continent, this is a momentous step for FRIDA and our commitment to language justice.
