Advancing gender-equal nationality rights

The Women's Refugee Commission, Inc. will receive $500,000 through a Cooperative Agreement award from the Department of State Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration. The award is part of the Bureau's Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Strategic Global Priorities program (CFDA 19.522) and will support the Women's Refugee Commission's work advancing gender-equal nationality rights from September 15, 2022 to September 14, 2023. As part of this program, the Bureau provides contributions to support the global programs and headquarters costs of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and International Committee of the Red Cross. The Women's Refugee Commission will leverage this funding to deliver technical assistance and advocacy services aimed at promoting inclusive nationality laws and policies to ensure equal treatment of women around the world.
