Intl Women's Day - best women's charities

I have an opportunity to influence a choice of charity for my company to support for Intl Women's Day. Any recommendations for sensible charities that prioritise the needs of human females whether adult or child?

Obviously I must steer clear of lobby groups and what could be deemed political causes. Ideally those that are able to operate despite covid e.g. not sure Dress for Success can do much right now

There's Lumos which is JK Rowling's charity although it's about all children not just girls.

All of the above apart from the Freedom Programme get funding.

Better to support the local women's aid or rape crisis centre many of whom have continued to provide services in the face of lockdown.

Without revealing too much does your company work is a particular area? ie their might be a training programme for women related to that.

I like Lumos as is JKRs foundation but also agree on NIA and there is no shortage of crowdfunders to support.

We are a scottish technology company. I think Women's Aid might be the way to go
