Package your long report for public dissemination

Consider developing smaller products along with your long report.

As mentioned in the “Synthesize your research findings,” AWID often pulls smaller products from the lengthy research report. This allows for wider and easier distribution specialized for key audiences.

Always keep your targeted population in mind: who will read your report?

Examples of smaller products distilled from a larger report:

• Infographics
• Online gallery
• An animation presenting your arguments

1. Think as your audience thinks

People are bombarded with information constantly. Your product will have to be visually compelling to maintain the interest of your audience. Again, having an idea of what you hope to accomplish and who you hope to reach, will allow the designer to create targeted products.

A lengthy written PDF report may seem the only way to present your research, but it could appear overwhelming to most people – especially online.

If you want to share your product with an online community, think about creating memes and infographics to use on social media, blogs and web platforms.

When deciding whether to create smaller products, consider dividing your results into several smaller products that you could share with targeted populations or at different times of the year to reactivate the interest on your product.

2. Work with a professional designer

If you have limited time and a little bit of budget, we recommend hiring a design firm.

It can be tempting for economic reasons to use in-house staff to package your report. However, a professional graphic designer can make a huge difference on how your final product looks and thus on how much impact it will have!

The designer (in-house or hired) must be able to:

• Show you samples of their previous work that is similar to what you seek.

• Provide you clear advice on how to present your research based on the content you provide and the audience you are targeting.

• Suggest additional or different pieces to package your product.

What the designer will need from you:

• A general idea on what you would like the lengthy report to highlight through visuals and graphics (what are the most important pieces of information, the key findings, for example) and some ideas on the types of smaller products you want to create (brochure, an infographic, a series of viral memes, for example). If possible, show the designer examples of similar documents developed by other organizations.
• Your budget and time frame.
• Your organization’s visual guidelines if you have any (logo, official colours, fonts, etc...).
• A few photos copyright free or access to your photo bank if you have one.
• Key visuals that need to be included – graphs, tables and other visual graphics drawn from your research.

The designer is a graphic expert. S/he is not necessarily familiar with women’s issues and does not know the results of your research, especially if you hire an external firm.

Communicate what elements of this report is important to you and who is your target. The designer will propose a way to highlight these elements and make the whole piece appealing to your users.

3. Make sure it's consistent

While creating a set of smaller information products, do not forget to link them all together:

• A shorter version of the report that focuses only on your final results and recommendations should present a link to the final, full report
• A visually compelling infographic that sends a message on the state of funding for your particular research can link to your website and the related section of the full report. It should be associated with a call to share on social media.
• A short animation video that uses the data, findings and recommendations from your report should link back to your organization website and social media
• A series of viral memes that can be distributed online should link back to your report, infographic, shorter report, etc.

It is also important to keep the research staff involved, so they can ensure any offshoot products stay true to the actual findings of the research.

Control the quality of the translations

After the design and packaging of the final research report is complete, if any of the wording of content was changed, be sure to re-send to translators.

If you create smaller products, once designed and packaged, you will also need to get the copy translated for those pieces. The translations should be clear enough so the designer can apply to the design, even if she/he does not speak the language.

Once translated, make sure to have your design proofread by a native speaker before sharing it!

Escucha la historia aquí:

En nuestra lucha por la justicia de género, económica, social y ambiental, en la paz, lxs feministas sabemos que no existe una sola receta para el éxito sino una gama de posibilidades que pueden y hacen que sucedan los cambios.

El menú de opciones es tan diverso como lo son nuestros movimientos y las comunidades en las que vivimos y luchamos.

Antes de atrevernos a presentar algunas de las formas en que lxs feministas nos imaginamos un mundo diferente, aquí están los principios que sostienen nuestras propuestas:

1. Desarrollo autodeterminado desde lo local hasta lo global

Creemos que no existe un modelo único aplicable a todxs y que todxs tienen derecho a reivindicar la construcción de ese otro mundo posible, como lo expresa el lema del Fondo Mundial..

Esto incluye el derecho a participar en la gobernabilidad democrática y de influir sobre el propio futuro, en el ámbito político, social y cultural.

La autodeterminación económica permite que los pueblos controlen sus recursos naturales y los utilicen de manera colectiva o para los fines que ellos mismos decidan. Además, la autonomía económica de las mujeres es fundamental para mitigar la naturaleza a menudo cíclica de la pobreza y la falta de educación, seguridad y protección.

2. Los derechos, la igualdad sustantiva y la justicia ocupan un lugar central en la economía

El principio de la igualdad sustantiva o de facto forma parte de la Convención sobre la Eliminación de Todas las Formas de Discriminación contra las Mujeres (CEDAW) y de otros instrumentos internacionales de derechos humanos. Es fundamental para el desarrollo y para lograr una economía justa ya que afirma que todos los seres humanos nacen libres e iguales.

La no discriminación forma parte intrínsecamente del principio de igualdad que garantiza que a nadie se le nieguen sus derechos por factores como la raza, el género, el idioma, la religión, la orientación sexual, la identidad de género, las opiniones políticas o de otra clase, el origen nacional o social, la propiedad o el nacimiento.

La dignidad intrínseca de todas las personas sin distinción alguna debe ser afirmada y respetada. Si bien los Estados tienen la responsabilidad de garantizar el uso de los máximos recursos de que disponen para la realización de los derechos humanos, la reivindicación de los derechos y la dignidad configura sobre todo un espacio clave para las luchas de la sociedad civil y la movilización popular.

3. Distribución justa para todxs, sin monopolización (el principio de la anticodicia)

Este principio, que se ejerce mediante esfuerzos organizados para transformar instituciones injustas, guía la recuperación del equilibrio entre «participación» (entrada) y «distribución» (salida) cuando se ha violado cualquiera de esos dos principios.

Implica ponerle un límite a toda acumulación monopólica de capital y otros abusos de la propiedad. Este concepto se apoya en un modelo económico que gira en torno a la ecuanimidad y la justicia.

4. La solidaridad entre feministas y entre movimientos es fundamental

Para que se produzcan cambios, necesitamos redes feministas fuertes y diversas. Necesitamos movimientos que construyan solidaridad desde lo personal hacia lo político, desde lo local a lo global, y viceversa.

La construcción de poder colectivo a través de los movimientos sociales ayuda a convertir la lucha por los derechos humanos, la igualdad y la justicia en una fuerza política para el cambio que no puede ser ignorada.

 «Únicamente los movimientos pueden crear cambios sostenidos a niveles que las políticas y las leyes solas no pueden alcanzar»

¿Cómo se originó este proyecto?

Nuestra socias

In 2015 AWID grew and diversified.

We ramped up preparations for the 13th AWID international Forum, focused a lot of energy on the Post 2015 Development Agenda and Financing for Development processes, and continued the core work of our priority areas:

• Challenging Religious Fundamentalisms
• Women Human Rights Defenders
• Economic Justice
• Resourcing Women’s Rights
• Young Feminist Activism

A sneak peak inside the report

The context

• We continue witnessing the rapid breakdown in democracy and democratic institutions, with spaces for dissent shrinking.
• Multiple and concurrent systemic crises (energy, food, finance and climate) continue to deepen inequalities and pose major challenges.
• Corporations are a leading power in determining the development agenda.
• Violence against WHRDs remains an urgent problem.
• Religious fundamentalisms are pervasive and increasingly powerful.
• New forms of online gender-based violence have emerged.

In response, we are moving out of our silos.

Increasingly, women’s rights and other movements worldwide are articulating the systemic and intersectional nature of these and other problems. We are making better connections with the agendas of other social and environmental movements for solidarity, alliance building and collective responses. We are also seeing greater visibility of these movements fighting for justice on the ground.

Our Impact

• For effective strategizing and advocacy, we need facts
• To exchange knowledge and join hands in solidarity, we need  a strong online community
• To build our collective power, we need to work together
• To influence international processes,  we need to increase our access and voice
• To reposition power we need to give visibility and emphasize  the important role that feminist and women’s rights movements  are already playing

Para partilhar a sua experiência vivida com o financiamento da sua organização;

La pandémie de COVID-19 a montré au monde l'importance des travailleur·euses essentiel·les. Nous parlons des personnes qui font le ménage, les travailleur·euses domestiques, les infirmier·ères, les d'ambulancier·ères, les personnes travaillant dans les transports, les supermarchés et autres. Leur travail consiste à prendre soin et à garantir le bien-être des autres et à faire fonctionner nos économies.

Mais pendant qu'iels prennent soin de nous..

Le contexte

Contestant la prémisse que l'économie d'un pays doit toujours «grandir ou mourir», les propositions de décroissance démystifient le rôle central d’une croissance mesurée par l'augmentation du produit intérieur brut (PIB).

Définition

Le modèle de la décroissance propose une transition vers des niveaux de production et de consommation plus faibles et durables. En substance, il s’agit de restreindre l’espace économique pour laisser plus de latitude à la coopération humaine et aux écosystèmes.

La proposition prévoit ce qui suit :

• Réduire la production superflue, consommatrice de grandes quantités de ressources et d'énergie, qui génère des émissions destructrices, en particulier dans les pays du Nord (par exemple l’industrie automobile et l’industrie militaire).
• Réorienter les investissements vers le secteur des services de soins, des infrastructures sociales et de la restauration de l'environnement.

Perspective féministe

Les perspectives féministes sur la théorie et la pratique de la décroissance soutiennent qu'il est également nécessaire de redéfinir et de reconnaître la valeur du travail rémunéré et non rémunéré, sur le marché comme dans le secteur des soins aux personnes. Ceci contribuerait à surmonter les stéréotypes de genre traditionnels, les écarts de salaires en vigueur et les inégalités de revenus qui dévalorisent le travail réalisé dans le domaine des soins.

Pour en savoir plus sur cette proposition :

• Dans The Future WE Want: Occupy development (L'avenir que nous voulons : Occuper le développement), Christa Wichterich fait valoir que pour briser la logique hégémonique de la croissance débridée et le retour rapide sur investissement, un autre modèle de développement doit émerger qui combinerait les trois piliers suivants : les soins, les biens communs ainsi qu’une production et une consommation adéquates. Article en anglais uniquement.
• Dans Equitable, Ecological Degrowth: Feminist Contributions (Décroissance équitable et écologique : Contributions féministes), Patricia Perkins suggère d’élaborer des indicateurs alternatifs concernant le bien-être, qui comprendraient notamment des données sur l’équité économique et sociale ainsi que des statistiques sur la répartition du temps de travail. Elle vise à démontrer l'importance du travail et des services non rémunérés pour l'économie et à proposer un mécanisme qui permettrait d’attribuer une valeur à cette contribution.  

Our 2010 Annual Report highlights the major accomplishments of each of our strategic initiatives during the year.

Along with activity highlights, we include a brief analysis of the impact of our initiatives as well as reflections from our members and partners that further illustrate the relevance of AWID’s work and its connection to broader women’s rights movements.
