Vivienne Hayes MBE, Chief Executive of the national charity, Women's Resource Centre has this to say about #InLoveandAnger, the report of the #TinasHaven pilot project published tomorrow. 💖🌸🧚♀️ “I am honoured to have been invited to write this foreword. The work of all the women involved in this truly groundbreaking pilot led by the vision, human love and commitment of Dr Sue Robson is a revelation. Tina’s Haven is a celebration of what can - and indeed must - be achieved for and with women who, as a result of extensive male violence and what I must name as state violence, are vilified and punished in the cruelest of ways, by the enforced removal of their children. In a time when too much provision for women has become industrialised and driven by state- determined frameworks often unfit for purpose, this pilot project provides hope and a re-positioning of how to actually meet the needs of the women involved. The interweaving of a critical theoretical approach for social transformation based upon the Black Feminist work of Professor Patricia Hill Collins, and a clear and deliberate feminist practice delivers the change we desperately need to see in how women are supported and empowered. This is how our wider women’s sector should be operating. The success of Tina’s Haven is a result of it being located in a clear analysis of structural inequality and the simultaneous actions necessary to begin to address this, which requires a women-only multi layered, holistic design. I hope this wonderful, joyous, and liberating model of work will give food for thought to all those who wish to see women’s rights achieved. Tina’s Haven should be used as a blueprint by service providers; because, in the words of Audre Lorde: “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.””

For #PhilanthropyThursday we are highlighting Chicago Foundation for Women 💫 Chicago Foundation for Women invests in women and girls as catalysts, building strong communities for all. Since 1985, Chicago Foundation for Women (CFW) has been a leader in the movement to achieve basic rights and equal opportunities, investing in women and girls as catalysts building stronger communities for all. Today, more than 37 years later, CFW continues to be the only organization in the region to take a comprehensive approach to understand and address the issues impacting Chicago-area women and girls. CFW works with a community of socially-minded investors who share our passion for improving the lives of women and girls, ensuring that every dollar they give achieves maximum impact. Thanks to these partners, CFW invests in the future of emerging organizations through leadership development and support in building sustainable nonprofit infrastructure. As a result, two-thirds of nonprofits for which CFW was the first institutional or ‘seed’ funder are still thriving 10 years after receiving their first CFW grant. Chicago Foundation for Women has invested more than $45 million through over 4,000 grants, annually impacting 226,000 women, girls, trans, and gender nonbinary individuals across the Chicago region, so they are healthy, safe, and economically secure. Nearly four decades later, CFW continues to be the only organization in the region to take a comprehensive approach to understand and address the issues impacting Chicago-area women, girls, trans, and gender nonbinary individuals.

Black women leaders bring expertise and perspectives that boost results and impact but face wildly unrealistic expectations due to racism and misogyny. #claudinegay is the latest example. This piece is a reminder of what’s possible when we support and defend Black women leaders. https://lnkd.in/ef2bD3aW

Observed annually in March since 1987, Women's History Month is dedicated to reflecting on the often overlooked contributions of women to United States history, culture, and society. One of the most significant ways your team can observe Women's History Month is to take a stance. Raise awareness for the contributions of women in the workplace and recognize the disparity that exists as women rise to break glass ceilings. A few ways your team can celebrate Women's History include: Learn about women who have made an impact in medicine, science, art, music, and more who were pioneers, paving a path for women to follow in careers they previously never dreamed possible. Explore the history of women's rights and discuss ways your team can make a group and individual effort to advocate for women in and out of the workplace. Support a non-profit that works to break down barriers for women, volunteer or donate to a charity that supports women, and support businesses owned and operated by women.

Women’s History Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of women throughout history, and to look ahead toward a future where the aspirations of every woman can thrive. What will you do this month to celebrate? Here are some ideas: 1) learn about women’s history through books (I highly suggest Hidden Figures); 2) get involved with women’s education and rights (volunteering or donating to a non-profit that supports women are options); 3) watch films about women’s history (I highly suggest Radium Girls); or 4) share with others about women’s history (like I am doing now). This link has lots of great information about Women’s History Month and other ways you can get involved. Pass it on! #womenshistorymonth https://lnkd.in/gx-apTxi
