ABOUT
The Feminist Humanitarian Network (FHN), together with local partners, strengthens the evidence base for crisis response in displacement contexts. Working with grassroots organizations across affected communities, FHN develops a participatory data tool that generates disaggregated data on how climate crises affect displaced populations. By combining participatory research, advocacy, and partnerships with women-led organizations, the project ensures displaced women's experiences directly inform humanitarian policy and crisis-response planning.
OBJECTIVES
Through CRAF'd support, FHN develops and pilots standard indicators, builds local organizations' capacity to collect and analyze disaggregated data, and produces advocacy tools and knowledge products that feed into humanitarian funding decisions and policy. By embedding locally grounded evidence into partner workflows, the project sustains a replicable data infrastructure that helps partners anticipate, prevent, and respond to climate-driven displacement.
Our partners driving research efforts are both using and supporting refugee-led women’s organisation to embody collective feminist leadership and research approaches to achieve transformative change.
