Justice and Equality Fund
The figures are staggering. Half of all women have experienced sexual harassment at work.* Nearly one in five women has suffered sexual assault.** We are not talking about a few bad apples. We are waking up to the full scale of systemic abuse based on gender and power - abuse that hurts us all.
Like all big problems, it needs big, bold solutions. We have created the Justice and Equality Fund, to create the far-reaching personal, social, legal and policy changes that will ensure everyone can feel safe at work, at play and at home. Together we can end the culture of harassment, abuse and impunity.
The Fund will support organisations and projects across three themes:
1. Advice, support and signposting: work to make sure people know their rights and can access good quality support for local and national issues. We want a society where everyone knows their rights and can access support to claim them.
2. Legal and policy work: support game-changing legal cases that can help improve laws and policies and create a safer future for us all.
3. Advocacy and prevention: create campaigns and alliances that protect women’s rights, promote equality and ensure safe environments.
Who are we?
Inspired by the phenomenal campaigners of #metoo, TIME’S UP, Ni Nunca Mas, the #lifeinleggings movement and others, a group of UK-based women from the entertainment industry have come together to challenge the sexual harassment, assault and discrimination that persists across all industries and sections of society - from media and politics to business and transport.
Who manages the fund?
The Justice and Equality Fund will be overseen and managed by Rosa, the UK’s leading women’s fund. The Fund’s grant-making will be opened in spring 2018. The fund will address priority needs, especially those of people in low paid, part-time and freelance employment, and those who face intersecting disadvantages related to their race, age, class, immigration status, disability or sexuality.
Thank you for supporting this movement with your donation and for spreading the word to others. Together we can create a just, safe and equitable society free from sexual harassment and violence.

We couldn't have done any of this without you!
The Justice and Equality Fund, managed by Rosa and supported by TIME’S UP UK, has today awarded £1,027,699 in grants through the Advice and Support programme to resource seven women’s organisations in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, who are working to provide advice and support to women who have experienced sexual harassment. This comes on the heels of the £24,000 given by the Fund, to 12 women’s organisations who are working to change and reframe the conversation around sexual harassment.
Grants include £194,168 to Rights of Women who will resource a free and confidential helpline led by women lawyers offering specialist legal advice to women experiencing sexual harassment; £88,484 to Welsh Women’s Aid to provide training that will increase the knowledge and skill of women's support services across Wales; and £133,402 to London Black Women’s Project who will focus on providing specialist advice to BME and migrant women. Grants also include £200,000 to Women’s Aid Federation in Northern Ireland to establish a pilot rape crisis service supporting the skills and capacity of specialist women’s organisations to meet the needs of survivors of rape, sexual harassment and abuse, bridging a critical gap as there has not been a rape crisis service in Northern Ireland for the last 12 years following funding cuts.
Emma Watson, initial donor to the Justice and Equality Fund and TIME’S UP UK catalyst said; "This first round of Justice and Equality Fund grants is pivotal in supporting the dynamic work of vital UK women's organisations like London Black Women's Project, who provide specialist advice and support to women of colour and migrant survivors of abuse. Following funding cuts, Northern Ireland has been without a rape crisis service for the last 12 years. That's an incredibly dire situation, now alleviated by the tireless efforts of organisers and your donations to the JEF crowdfunder. A huge thank you to each and every member of the public, and colleagues from my own industry, who have already donated. Much more needs to be raised so please give what you can, financial support is an instrumental act of solidarity with under-resourced organisations and campaign groups. TIME’S UP UK will continue to work in unity with women’s rights and equality movements to campaign for systemic change. This year is just the beginning."
