Just because a woman led NGO or a woman led team of an NGO pitches for funding does not mean you are doing her or her organization a favour. You are supporting a cause. Men in the position to provide funding support need to respect that and champion what she's fighting for!

Basis personal exp, I can tell you that there are a few men in position of power ( be it in the CSR sectors or those running private foundations) who have asked favours in return of "charity." It's appalling to see how men can stoop so low!
I have a request.

We need that push. It can't end here.

The girl who spoke up about the bahria harassment, someone stalked her profile, downloaded one of her pictures, and posted it in the comments saying how can one not be provoked if she looked like this.
