LATIN AMERICAN WOMEN'S FUNDS (8)
EUROPEAN WOMEN'S FUNDS (11)

They can be accessed through: https://www.prospera-inwf.org/#!/-member-funds/.
Very useful for those seeking support in the specific area of women rights.

Apart from this, there are ten case studies from 2015 still highly worth reading.

Finally, https://www.prospera-inwf.org/#!/-updates/ provides a long list of activities of Prospera and/or its members. These include publications, that often are accessible free of charge on this site.
