The Martha Farrell Memorial Fellowship offers two staff members of universities in East Africa and Asia training and support to institute safer and more conducive learning spaces on their campuses. The Fellowship Program relies on the Foundation's expertise in creating effective anti-sexual harassment policies and strategies. It is open to the professional and academic staff of all ACU member universities in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda) and Asia (Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka and the Maldives).
The Fellowship constitutes a one-week training program hosted by the Martha Farrell Foundation in New Delhi, India. Applicants are expected to share an outline action plan to showcase how their home institution can address the issue of sexual harassment in campus spaces. The training supplements this plan by offering practical solutions and advice for the implementation of the plan, which the Fellow will then return to their university to institute.
The Fellows will receive funded return economy travel to New Delhi and accommodation, local travel, and sustenance while undertaking the training. In addition, a grant of up to GBP 1000 can be claimed for research costs and other costs arising from the fellowship, offered by the Association of Commonwealth Universities.
