Mentally Mindful!

Description

1) Objective

Specifically, Voice is looking for projects or ideas that test innovative approaches around mental health of rightsholder groups and an intersection between mental health, trauma, vulnerability and navigating the effects of COVID 19. This Call for Proposals is intended for projects that focus on Voice defined themes and rightholder groups.

• The elderly/senior citizens and/or young people;
• Indigenous groups and ethnic minorities;
• Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex people;
• Persons with disabilities;
• Women facing exploitation, abuse, and/or violence

Voice recognises the importance of initiatives that respond to groups facing multiple layers of exclusion that cut across more than one rightsholders group. Therefore, a strong preference will be given to projects that intend to work with more than one target group to address overlapping or multiple vulnerabilities. Ideas that clearly highlight its intersectionality will definitely have an edge!
