How to reach
RFLD.
Different conversations deserve different doors. Below, each door opens to the right people. Pan-African feminist network · 670 member organisations · 15+ countries.
Conversations with funders and partners.
RFLD works with a consortium of institutional donors — GIZ/BMZ, Sida, AmplifyChange, Packard Foundation, FJS, Expertise France, Hivos — and with philanthropic partners considering a first relationship with our work. Both routes begin with a conversation, not a proposal.

If someone you know is at risk.
RFLD works with women human rights defenders operating in jurisdictions where civic space is restricted or hostile. If you are reaching out because a defender, survivor, or member is in immediate danger, please do not rely on a public contact page.
Use RFLD's verified safeguarding channel: integrity@rflgd.org, which routes directly to the RFLD Safeguarding Focal Point with end-to-end encrypted handling. For defenders RFLD has existing relationships with, pre-established protection channels on Signal and verified in-country contact remain the primary route — those should be used as agreed.
For broader human rights defender protection services across Africa — including referrals for relocation, legal aid, and digital security — we also recommend Front Line Defenders and the East and Horn of Africa HRD Network.
