Micro-grants funding round 2: GBV in the workplace

Following a successful first round of funding for research and convening in 2018/19, ALIGN launched a second round in 2020/1.

Five micro-grants of up to £8000 were awarded for research projects over a 4 month period from January 2021.

This time, ALIGN was looking for applications from partners to generate, synthesise and broker knowledge to understand effective action on the gender norms that underpin gender-based violence in the workplace. Workplaces include any place where people are engaged in paid work, be it in farming, manufacturing, small businesses or parliaments, for example. Small-scale projects will be funded to initiate or build on existing research and practice, to communicate knowledge and experiences, and inform future action. 

We are delighted to say we had a very good response to this funding call and have awarded funds to seven organisations.
