Core offering

RAW in WAR supports women and girl survivors of war through advocacy and recognition programs. Its core offerings are the annual Anna Politkovskaya Award, presented to women human rights defenders from conflict zones who stand up for victims at great personal risk, and the "Refusing To Be Silenced" event series hosted at the WOW Festival in London, which provides a public platform for women defenders to amplify their voices. The organization operates in "forgotten conflicts" where there is limited or no support from major humanitarian agencies.

Product overview

RAW in WAR (Reach All Women in WAR) is a human rights organization that operates two main programs: the Anna Politkovskaya Award, an annual award presented to women human rights defenders from conflict zones, and the 'Refusing To Be Silenced' event series held at the Women of the World (WOW) Festival in London. The organization was founded to support female human rights defenders working in countries where there is war and conflict, particularly in areas where there is limited support from major humanitarian agencies.

• MADRE: MADRE is a New York-based feminist organization partnering with women-led groups in conflict-affected countries. It overlaps directly with RAW in WAR's women-in-conflict focus and works in similar geographies (Latin America, Middle East, Africa).
• Front Line Defenders: Front Line Defenders is a Dublin-based international NGO focused specifically on protecting human rights defenders at risk - the same core beneficiary population as RAW in WAR (women defenders in conflict zones). It provides grants, security training, and rapid-response support, closely aligned with RAW in WAR's mission of supporting persecuted defenders.
• Women for Women International: Women for Women International supports women survivors of war through direct programs (training, cash stipends) in conflict-affected countries - addressing the same 'women and girl survivors of conflict' population as RAW in WAR, with a more service-delivery approach.
• Global Fund for Women: Global Fund for Women is a grantmaking foundation supporting women's rights organizations worldwide, including those in conflict zones. It is comparable to RAW in WAR as a women's-human-rights organization mobilizing resources for grassroots defenders.
• Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID): AWID is a global feminist membership organization working on women's rights and gender equality, including in conflict-affected contexts. Comparable as a women-focused advocacy/rights NGO operating at the international level.

Laureates from this group have presented the Anna Politkovskaya Award since its inception.
• Urgent Action Fund for Women's Human Rights: Urgent Action Fund is a direct peer that mobilizes rapid-response funding for women human rights defenders facing imminent threat - the same constituency RAW in WAR serves through recognition and advocacy. It complements RAW in WAR's advocacy model with direct financial support.
