Urgent Action Fund Asia & Pacific (UAF A&P) is a feminist rapid response fund that supports the
resilience and resistance of movements led by women, trans and non-binary activists in Asia and the
Pacific in their critical defence of people and planet. Guided by feminist values, individuals,
organisations, and their communities are provided urgent grants and strategic support to strengthen
their safety and well-being. We are often defenders’ first line of defence as they rise up to meet the
fundamental democratic, gender, and climate crises of our times. As a regional feminist fund, we
experiment with innovative grant-making and resource mobilisation practices to support human rights
defenders and their organisations across these two vast regions. We are a young fund that is working on
a set of core feminist principles of care to inform and advise our various functions.
