The call for proposals "Building Movements 2022: strengthening solidarity and trust" selected 134 groups led by cis, trans and other transident women who fight every day for social justice, environmental justice, democracy, gender equality, the right to life and happiness.

With extra resources, it was possible to contemplate more organizations than initially planned: there are about R$ 8 million in flexible resources that can be used to strengthen institutions.

The Empodera call for proposals is a partnership between ELAS+ and the Lojas Renner Institute and UN Women. In the 2022 edition, 21 groups were selected that work to transform the lives of women and transgender people through fair, inclusive and responsible fashion projects.

The organizations work with fashion in a broad sense, such as plus size, non-binary fashion, affirmation of identities and access to fashion for people with disabilities. The support totals R$ 1.5 million and will be allocated to direct donations to the groups.

The Public Notice Black Women Alliance Pelo Fim da Violência selected 16 civil society organizations that will receive a direct contribution of R$ 365 thousand to develop their projects.

The objective is to strengthen actions to combat racial violence, with a focus on combating the genocide of the black population and violence against black women and black trans people, in addition to strengthening anti-racial violence communication.
