DEAL WITH IT.

The WITM survey is focused on the feminist resourcing realities of the last 3 years (2021 to 2023), and has five key sections:

1. Group information
2. Financial status
3. Shifting power
4. Sustainability
5. Key aspirations

It consists of mandatory* and optional questions, most of which are multiple-choice. You will have a chance to share more on issues that are important to you by responding to the open question(s) at the end of the survey.

To respond to the questions quickly and easily, we advise that you have your key financial information at hand (e.g., your annual budgets from 2021 to 2023). However, if you wish to save your responses and come back to the survey later, you are able to do this whenever needed.

To make the complexity of resourcing diverse forms of feminist organizing visible

Le financement des mouvements féministes est indispensable à la mise en place d’une présence plus juste et pacifique et d’un avenir libéré. Au cours de la dernière décennie, les bailleurs de fonds se sont engagés à verser bien plus d’argent en faveur de l’égalité des genres, mais 1 % seulement des financements philanthropiques et de développement a réellement été destiné à financer directement les changements sociaux menés par des féministes (ressource en anglais).

Pour viser l’abondance, et rompre ce cycle d’insuffisance chronique, l’enquête WITM est une invitation pour les activistes féministes et défenseur·ses de la justice de genre à se lancer dans l’aventure de la collecte de données probantes et d’arguments en faveur de la mobilisation de davantage d’argent, de meilleure qualité, et de réappropriation du pouvoir au sein de l’écosystème actuel du financement. En solidarité avec les mouvements qui continuent à être invisibilisés, marginalisés et empêchés d’accéder à des financements de base, à long terme, flexibles et reposant sur la confiance, l’enquête WITM souligne l’état actuel de la mobilisation de ressources, remet en question les fausses solutions, et identifie les changements à opérer au sein des modèles de financement afin que les mouvements s’épanouissent et relèvent les défis complexes de notre époque.

This report looks back and celebrates the first year of AWID’s new strategic plan as we took our first steps towards our desired outcomes of supporting feminist movements to thrive, challenging anti-rights agendas and co-creating feminist realities.

We worked with feminists to disrupt anti-rights agendas, achieving important victories fought and won within the United Nations system when ground-breaking language on structural discrimination, sexual rights, and states’ obligations were included in a number of resolutions. Yes, the multilateral system is in crisis and in need of serious strengthening but these victories are important as they contribute to the legitimacy of feminist demands, providing feminist movements with more pressure points and momentum to advance our agendas.

We tried and tested different ways to build knowledge with feminist movements through webinars, podcasts and ‘live’ conversations. We developed facilitation guides with popular educators to reclaim knowledge in the interest of social and gender justice, even about a topic as seemingly opaque as illicit funding flows. We commissioned blogs and opinions about how feminist groups fund and resource themselves and threw light on the threats facing our human rights systems.

Within AWID, we practiced and learned from our shared leadership approach, and told the story of the trials and tribulations of co-leading a global, virtual organization. We don’t have a definitive answer to what feminist leadership looks like, but we know, a year on, that a continued commitment to collective experimentation and learning has enabled us to keep building an organization that we are all excited to contribute to.

As we look back on this year, we want to thank all our friends and supporters, colleagues and companions, who have given their time and shared their wealth of knowledge and wisdom with us. We want to thank our members who helped frame our strategic plan and joined us to make feminist demands. We could not do this work without you.
