Women Win: Internship
About Women Win Women Win (WW) is a global multi-dimensional fund investing in and supporting a diverse global portfolio of re-grantees (including non-traditional actors). We influence a wide range of stakeholders and broker unusual partnerships by creating strategic alliances with other women’s funds, and co-creating collective funds based on shared governance.
In particular, through GRLS, WW advances the playing field that empowers adolescent girls and young women to exercise their rights through sport and play. Together with our global implementing partners, we have impacted the lives of over 4.5 million adolescent girls and young women in over 100 countries. We work globally to ‘advance the playing field’ that empowers girls through sport and play - we develop tools and approaches, design programmes, promote sport as a strategy to empower girls and women and influence other actors across sectors to take up this strategy.
