Thank you for your interest in joining the Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition (WHRD-IC). We welcome organisations working with and for women human rights defenders (WHRDs), feminists, trans and non-binary defenders. We especially encourage membership applications from regional and national organisations working with and for women human rights defenders, as we are looking to strengthen their presence in the Coalition. 

Please note that for the period 2026-2028, we are not accepting applications from individuals, International NGOs, nor funds and Global North organisations at this time. This is aligned with the priorities of our new strategic framework and our commitment to increase our membership among WHRD-led local, national, and regional organisations in the Global South. 

Please complete the application form to submit your organisation’s membership request to the WHRD-IC and upload the three required documents with your application: 
 

1. Organisational profile
    
2. Endorsements from two of our existing members: https://whrdic.org/about-us/our-members 

Please send your application package to whrdic@whrdic.org email address. Let us know if you have any difficulties in completing the form.
