A/HRC/16/34 E/CN.6/2011/9 32. Since 2008, as the resource base of the United Nations Trust Fund has increased, a shift to larger and longer-term grants has allowed for larger-scale interventions that can achieve higher-level results and better sustainability efforts. In 2010, the Fund has again offered grants of up to $1 million, and the majority received three-year grants. In 2010, Asia and the Pacific received the largest amount of funds (35 per cent), followed by Africa (28 per cent); Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (13 per cent); Latin America and the Caribbean (10 per cent) and Arab States (10 per cent); and cross-regional grants (4 per cent). Belarus, the Marshall Islands and Sri Lanka are first-time grant recipients. The majority of new grantees include women’s organizations (31 per cent); followed by United Nations country teams (23 per cent); development organizations and youth organizations (15 per cent each); and governmental organizations and human rights organizations (8 per cent each). 33. Grants awarded in 2010 focus on initiatives working with youth, including two that will address the needs of rural girls. In China, the Beijing Cultural Development Centre for Rural Women will develop protection mechanisms for rural girls left behind by parents working in cities, while in Peru the Asociación de Comunicadores Sociales Calandria will empower rural adolescent youth to become leaders in the movement to end violence against women and girls. The Trust Fund’s emphasis on engaging men and boys continues with a grant to the Mother Child Education Foundation in Turkey, which will model a highly innovative programme engaging fathers in the prevention of gender-based violence within the family, and with support for the Zambia Young Women’s Christian Association to establish 200 men’s networks to advocate against violence. 34. Other grantees will work with particularly marginalized populations. The Jordanian Women’s Union will establish the first regional network in Egypt, Jordan and Morocco to address trafficking and protect women migrant workers’ rights, and the Acid Survivors Trust International will pilot groundbreaking strategies for ending acid burning against women in Cambodia, Nepal and Uganda. Pathfinder Mozambique will leverage sexual and reproductive health services as a means of reaching violence survivors such as adolescents and women living with HIV. In India, Nepal and the Philippines, the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact Foundation will support local indigenous leaders to engage in advocacy and community mobilization towards the reform of customary laws that tolerate violence against women. 35. Other grantees will focus on closing gaps in legislation and strengthening national capacities to implement policies and enforce laws addressing violence against women and girls. Women United Together Marshall Islands, in partnership with government agencies, will increase public awareness and strengthen national legislation and protocols around domestic violence. In Burundi, the ministry of Human Rights and Gender will undertake a comprehensive multisectoral initiative to implement the National Strategy against Gender-based Violence. United Nations country teams in Belarus, Indonesia and Sri Lanka and will support multisectoral interventions to enforce national laws addressing violence against women and girls.
