What we do?
The Radix project strengthens women’s, feminist and LGBTIQA+ organisations in Spain by providing funding, support, training and spaces for encounter and reflection.
We empower these organisations so they can continue playing a key role in protecting, promoting and raising awareness of the fundamental rights of women and girls, from an intersectional, anti-racist and decolonial perspective.
Who we are?
Radix is an initiative of Calala Women’s Fund and the the association Otro Tiempo, co-funded by the European Union. We walk together in this project, united by the values of our organisations, and by our shared commitment, work and experience in advancing equality, justice and diversity.
Within this project, we have structured two main work areas that offer organisations a combined strategy to strengthen their sustainability, learning, and both individual and collective care:
- Radix Fund for the delivery of resources, which provides financial resources.
- Radix School which focuses on training, accompaniment and capacity-building, coordinated by Otro Tiempo.
What drives us?
Radix emerges in response to the challenging context faced by women’s, feminist and LGBTIQA+ organisations in Spain regarding funding and long-term sustainability.
Reportssuch as the one published by Fondo Dalia in 2023 highlight the chronic underfunding of these organisations by both public institutions and private entities.This results in financial instability and insecurity, limited organisational infrastructure, precarious employment conditions, and reduced access to training, skills development and economic autonomy.
We are moved to action by the organisations and individuals at the heart of this project— those on the frontlines defending the rights of women and girls, daring to transform everything from the grassroots up, with the radical conviction that another world is possible.
This is where what we stand for begins. Here is where our manifesto beats.
