Remembering and Reclaiming Change: Feminist Timelines for Better Futures

The Forum is now over, but we encourage you to check the "Latest News" section of this site for selected session writeups, transcripts, and other post-forum information. Updates will be posted throughout December and January.

Forum Programme

How has change happened? Change is the product of political dynamics driven by converging and conflicting events, leaders, ideas, and pressures. To really understand how change happens around women's rights, we need to recapture and reexplore our history – to identify and celebrate the gains and losses, and probe the strategic choices we've made along the way to better understand how cultural historical events and factors shaped those choices and their outcomes.

For the first time ever at an AWID Forum, immediately after the first plenary, all of the participants will have the opportunity to participate in a facilitated, interactive, enlightening, and absolutely fun exercise of reconstructing the dynamics of change experienced and remembered by women's rights advocates.

To this end, these participatory timelines, designed by the dynamic team of Just Associates, will engage the AWID participants in producing a living history of memories and perceptions of women's rights experiences.

In order to be part of history, go to the meeting space dedicated to your region as listed below. You won't regret it!
