2025
The DAWN Rising Fellowship, is a new programme, launched in 2025, to support young women feminists from the global South. The inaugural fellowship focused on the Political Economy of Gender-Based Violence and Conflict, offers an opportunity for an emerging feminist researcher with a proven commitment to women’s rights and gender justice to develop an innovative research project, with a particular emphasis on amplifying feminist voices in conflict-affected contexts.
In its first year, DAWN receives over 400 applications from across the global South, a testament to the extraordinary depth of feminist talent, creativity, and engagement.
Through this fellowship, DAWN aims to advance critical feminist analyses and to create platforms for young women to share their work with diverse audiences locally and internationally, thereby cultivating the next generation of feminist leadership.
