THE BRIEFING CLUB
A direct line to helping women and girls, in the UK and worldwide
Every month, Briefing Club donors hear first-hand the impact UN Women’s teams working in countries such as Afghanistan, Türkiye, Syria and Ukraine are having, alongside insight into the state of women’s rights here in the UK.
It’s a space to understand what’s really happening — and to turn that understanding into action.
Because your donation does more than inform you. It funds the Women’s Emergency Fund, getting emergency aid to women and girls in crisis, fast as well as crucial program funding in the UK and around the world.
Your donations through the Briefing Club support the Women’s Emergency Fund, ensuring aid gets to the women and girls who need it, fast.
The Women’s Emergency Fund supports the most current and urgent crises you see in the headlines, well beyond the news cycle has ended.
It helps women and girls to rebuild and repair their lives. Whilst bringing forgotten crises forward, directing crucial aid to the disasters that don’t make the front pages.
The Fund makes donations available that can be rapidly channeled to UN Women’s teams on the ground, supporting the women and girls who need it most urgently.
When a crisis happens, it allows us to get immediate support to women and girls on the ground. Whether that be climate-related disasters, conflict resulting in gender-based violence, or poverty and disease threatening women’s ability to survive.
Your donations will not only provide emergency support during crises, but will also help women and girls to rebuild their lives for the long term
Thanks to you, they can play a role in creating longer-lasting peace and prosperity.
£240 can provide post-rape medical care and continued support services to three survivors of sexual violence in conflict
£1,280 can serve as startup capital for five displaced women heads of households to rebuild and sustain their livelihoods to support their families post-crisis
£8,500 can provide psychosocial support sessions for 240 vulnerable Jordanian and Syrian refugee women
What Briefing Club equips you to do
Briefing Club isn’t just a briefing — it’s designed to turn donors into informed advocates for women and girls everywhere.
- Understand the issues properly. Hear directly from our work on the ground, with a Q&A that lets you ask the questions the news doesn’t answer.
- See the UK picture too. Each session pairs a global briefing with a look at what’s happening for women’s rights closer to home.
- Go beyond the headlines. Key reports throughout the year, plus a digital recap after every session, so you can keep learning — and sharing what you learn — between meetings.
- Act on what you hear. Every briefing ends with clear, concrete next steps, so your growing understanding turns into advocacy, not just awareness.
- Bring others with you. You can invite friends and colleagues, extending the reach of every briefing beyond the room.
Your Briefing Club donations bring essential support to women and girls in urgent crisis around the world
