The International Network of Engaged Buddhists (INEB), in cooperation with the Buddhist humanitarian relief organization Join Together Society Korea (JTS Korea), has announced the launch of the Female Sangha Initiative For Social Transformation in Southeast Asia, with a call for grant applications from sanghas, groups, and organizations across Buddhist traditions in Southeast Asia.
Coordinated by INEB and funded by JTS Korea, the Female Sangha Initiative For Social Transformation in Southeast Asia aims to offer an avenue for addressing social inequities facing female practitioners in Buddhist communities across the region, and to empower women as leaders and agents of social change and transformation. Under the scheme, funding will be provided to projects and organizations that aim to remedy education shortfalls, structural oppression, materialism, and gender discrimination within lay and monastic communities.
