CREA
CREA is a feminist human rights organisation. CREA envisions a more just and peaceful world, where everyone lives with dignity, respect, and equality.
For some, it’s dignity. For others, it’s freedom, power, or the simple right to choice. No matter the language we speak, we are all fighting for the same future. ✊🏾

“Women were scrutinized for what they wore, what they said, and the spaces they took.” — Samiha Mohamed
In April 2019, Easter Sunday bomb blasts in Sri Lanka triggered a wave of anti-Muslim hostility. Overnight, Muslim women became targets of intensified surveillance — scrutinised for what they wore, where they went, and how they spoke.
Sisterhood Initiative (SI) was founded in response. Working with Muslim women in Sri Lanka, SI creates online and in-person spaces where women can share experiences, build community, access legal and psychosocial support, and develop the collective strength needed for advocacy.
Sisterhood Initiative is a FON-supported partner based in Sri Lanka, working hand-in-hand with women to advance their rights, safety and strengthen their communities. Initiatives like this strengthen FON’s mission to eliminate gender-based violence globally by investing in flexible, community-led solutions.
This is community-led feminist organising. This is power.
What does safety look like in your community?

49 women leaders. 22 organisations. One powerful network launched.
CREA's Ibtida Rajasthan is here! For 15+ years, CREA has built and sustained women-led CSO networks across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand. Now, CREA expands its reach to Rajasthan and Ibtida is that next bold step.
Participants reflected on lived experiences, identified strengths and challenges, and built trust for meaningful collaboration. Together, they developed strategies to address gender-based violence at the community, structural, and social norms levels, while strengthening the feminist leadership networks needed to sustain this work long-term.
This wasn't just a convening. It was a space to learn, reflect, and build strategy that holds.
The groundwork is laid. The network is moving. 🌱🔥

In Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, feminist organizations are doing what laws alone have failed to do: advancing gender equality and building safer, more just communities for those systems routinely ignore.
Feminist Opportunities Now (FON) is a global initiative that provides flexible, trust-based funding to feminist civil society organizations working to end gender-based violence. FON backs 43 partner organizations in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh alone, with a particular focus on small, grassroots, and often marginalized groups.
Our campaign, "This Is Power," amplifies their work because changing the world starts with resourcing the people already doing it.
