About Oak Foundation:
Oak Foundation commits its resources to address issues of global, social, and environmental concern, particularly those that have a major impact on the lives of the disadvantaged.

With offices in Europe, India, and North America, we make grants to organisations in approximately 40 countries worldwide.
Background:
All women and girls should be safe, free, and have an equal chance to thrive. Yet, every day, women experience violence and discrimination and are denied the freedom to decide how they will live. This undermines their health, safety, dignity, and independence.

Their shared purpose and collective power are advancing a more just world – in ways that protect human rights and the future of our planet.
Supporting these movements to live, breathe, strengthen, and grow – by enabling women’s agency, leadership, and capacity – is at the heart of what we do. In addition to a deep commitment to advancing women’s rights, our culture is characterised by collegiality, mutual support, high expectations, and laughter. Read the IAWP strategy for more details.
