As above really, I know there's been a thread before but I can't find it now!

After some suggestions of charities where I can be certain any donation is going specifically to girls/women. UK or international :)

Oh and Women for Refugee Women too.

I work a lot with the women's sector and the charities that I think do a good job supporting girls and women and haven't succumbed to woke "self identified women" stuff are: Nia, Southhall Black Sisters, Ashiana, Maternity Action, Abortion Rights (although they don't do work directly supporting women and they have put out the odd dodgy tweet), Centre for Women's Justice, Refuge, and the Freedom Programme. I'm sure there are lots of others but those are just some of the ones I've come across that I rate.

Vancouver Rape Relief is the one I donate to. I've also donated to the Glasgow Rape Crisis Centre

I forgot to mention www.kiva.org, which is a microfinancing charity. You can choose to donate to individual women or women's groups. When the money is repaid, you can reuse it for lending again.

I've made 45 loans so far over the years, and received complete repayment on 44. Here's my lending profile.

The Women's Holiday Centre in Lancashire provides affordable holidays to women and girls. They received a lot of stick from TRAs on their FB page for not catering to transwomen.

There is also The Freedom Programme, but I think they are self-funding.

Yes, as PP said please don’t be tempted by the ‘glossy’ charities advocating for women and girls, I worked for one and the waste of money is heartbreaking

Vancouver Rape Crisis - is still going despite years of trying to shut it down, last week or the week before someone nailed a dead rat to the door of a building where they held a meeting.

Look for the small charities, Oxfam and others have lost their way.

PM me for 2 organisations in Kolkata. I have visited both, feminist run in the red light areas, working with children to provide alternatives to prostitution and pimping, also setting up small business for the women to do the same. One is difficult to get money from abroad to at present , as they await re registration to receive money from abroad but should be fixed soon. Can't post details on here sadly.
