Défenseur-e-s des droits humains
Les défenseuses des droits humains s’auto-identifient comme des femmes ou des personnes lesbiennes, bisexuelles, transgenres, queer, intersexes (LBT*QI) ou autres qui défendent les droits. Elles sont exposées à des risques et à des menaces de nature genrée à cause du travail qu’elles accomplissent en faveur des droits humains et/ou en conséquence directe de leur identité de genre ou de leur orientation sexuelle.
Les défenseuses des droits humains subissent une violence et une discrimination systématique du fait de leur identité, mais aussi à cause de la lutte indéfectible qu’elles mènent en faveur des droits, de l’égalité et de la justice.
Le programme Défenseuses des droits humains collabore avec des partenaires internationaux et régionaux ainsi qu’avec les membres de l’AWID pour éveiller les consciences à propos de ces risques et menaces, pour plaider en faveur de mesures féministes et holistiques de protection et de sécurité et enfin pour promouvoir activement une culture du souci de soi et du bien-être collectif au sein de nos mouvements.
Les risques et menaces qui planent sur les défenseuses
Les défenseuses des droits humains sont exposées aux mêmes types de risques que toutes les autres personnes qui défendent les droits humains, les communautés et l’environnement. Mais elles se heurtent également à des violences fondées sur le genre et à des risques spécifiques de nature genrée parce qu’elles remettent en cause les normes de genre en vigueur au sein de leur culture et de leur société.
En défendant les droits, les défenseuses des droits humains sont exposées aux risques suivants :
- les agressions physiques et la mort
- les tentatives d’intimidation et le harcèlement, y compris dans les espaces en ligne
- le harcèlement judiciaire et la criminalisation
- l’épuisement
Une approche holistique et collaborative de la sécurité
Nous travaillons en collaboration avec des réseaux internationaux et régionaux ainsi qu’avec nos membres pour :
- éveiller les consciences à propos des violations des droits humains et abus dont sont victimes les défenseuses des droits humains ainsi que de la violence systémique et de la discrimination qu’elles subissent ;
- renforcer les mécanismes de protection et faire en sorte que des réactions plus efficaces et plus rapides s’organisent quand des défenseuses sont en danger.
Nous travaillons à la promotion d’une approche holistique de la protection des défenseuses, qui suppose notamment :
- de mettre l’accent sur l’importance du souci de soi et du bien-être collectif, et de reconnaître le fait que ces notions peuvent revêtir une signification différente dans chaque culture ;
- de documenter les violations dont sont victimes les défenseuses des droits humains dans une perspective féministe intersectionnelle ;
- de promouvoir la reconnaissance et la célébration du travail et de la résilience des défenseuses des droits humains dans la société ; et
- de construire des espaces civiques propices au démantèlement des inégalités structurelles, sans restrictions ni obstacles.
Nos actions
Nous souhaitons contribuer à l’avènement d’un monde plus sûr pour les défenseuses des droits humains, leurs familles et leurs communautés. Nous pensons que le fait que les défenseuses œuvrent en faveur des droits et de la justice ne devrait pas leur faire courir de risques ; leur action devrait être appréciée et célébrée.
-
Promouvoir la collaboration et la coordination entre organisations de défense des droits humains et des droits des femmes au niveau international, et ce dans le but de d’apporter des réponses plus efficaces dans le domaine de la sureté et du bien-être des défenseuses des droits humains ;
-
Soutenir les réseaux régionaux de défenseur-es et les organisations, parmi lesquels l’Initiative mésoaméricaine des défenseuses des droits humains et la Coalition des défenseuses des droits humains du Moyen-Orient et d’Afrique du Nord, dans leur travail de promotion et de renforcement de l’action collective en faveur de la protection des défenseuses – en mettant en avant l’importance de la création de réseaux de solidarité et de protection, de la promotion du souci de soi ainsi que du plaidoyer et de la mobilisation en faveur de la sécurité des défenseuses ;
-
Faire en sorte que les défenseur-e-s des droits humains et les risques qui les menacent soient plus visibles et mieux reconnus, en rassemblant des informations sur les agressions dont elles sont victimes et en produisant et diffusant des documents sur leurs luttes, leurs stratégies et les difficultés qu’elles rencontrent ;
-
Organiser des réponses urgentes fondées sur la solidarité internationale dès que des défenseuses des droits humains sont en danger, par le biais de nos réseaux internationaux et régionaux mais aussi grâce à nos membres.

In a context like Colombia’s, the work of imagining, dreaming and even creating processes of transformation so we can live in worlds that are decent, just, careful, and affectionate is worthy of admiration. It is an attack on life itself. Not just on the life of one official, but an attack on the soul, on the spirit of an entire people who feels frustrated.

#MeToo in China
The #MeToo movement in China was ignited in January 2018, impelled by the momentum of the #MeToo movement around the globe. The movement was a response to cultural and systemic problems in relation to gender and power within China. The foundation of the movement was laid over decades, with many years of debate and advocacy for gender equality finally erupting into a tremendous force across society. #MeToo has been driven mainly by young people, among whom are countless anonymous women and their allies, and they search for opportunities to realize the ultimate “Chinese Dream”: to transform China into a country with gender equality.
The environment for #MeToo movement is extremely adverse in China: the rule of law, the fairness and transparency of government action, and freedom of speech cannot be taken for granted by the movement in China but are the very goals it fights for. From the beginning, it has been an intense struggle, with every victim or activist who comes forward running tremendous risks. From being silenced, humiliated, or retaliated against, to having their safety jeopardized, every success of the #MeToo movement has been won by those who are courageous enough to bear the costs of speaking out and defying censorship.
#MeToo in China Exhibition was first held in 2019 and toured in 5 cities. The aim of the exhibition is to bring the personal experiences of the victims and activists to greater prominence and, through engagement with these stories, to inspire our audience to join in the fight. The exhibition has itself become a part of the #MeToo struggle—the exhibition has been beset by challenges on its tour throughout China, on more than one occasion even facing closure.

Nicole Barakat
somos infinitxs
Una exposición de Nicole Barakat que encarna su reconexión con los objetos de la diáspora de sus tierras ancestrales en la región del Sudoeste Asiático y África del Norte (SWANA, por sus siglas en inglés).
Barakat presenta una colección de obras textiles como manifestaciones de su práctica de conectarse con los objetos desplazados, y a menudo robados, que son exhibidos en colecciones de museos occidentales que incluyen el Museo del Louvre de París, el Museo Británico de Londres y el Nicholson Museum de Sydney.
Para burlar a los guardianes y fisurar las vitrinas que retienen estos objetos ancestrales, Barakat recupera formas de conocimiento precoloniales, no lineales y receptivas que son, a menudo, devaluadas y desestimadas por las instituciones coloniales y patriarcales, utilizando la adivinación con la borra del café, el trabajo con los sueños, la escucha intuitiva y las conversaciones con los objetos mismos (fuente).
Sobre Nicole Barakat
Nicole Barakat es una artista femme queer de SWANA, que nació y vive en las tierras de Gadigal (llamadas Sydney) en Australia. Trabaja con procesos intuitivos y de escucha profunda, con la intención de transformar las condiciones de la vida cotidiana. Su obra se desarrolla a través de métodos artísticos no convencionales, creando objetos intrincados que plasman el amor y la paciencia característicos de las prácticas textiles tradicionales.
Sus trabajos incluyen dibujos en papel y en tela cortados y cosidos a mano, esculturas realizadas con su propio cabello, tela y materiales vegetales, así como obras en vivo en las que utiliza su voz como material.
La práctica creativa de Nicole está arraigada en el re-cuerdo y la re-colección de sus conocimientos ancestrales, incluyendo la adivinación con la borra del café y, más recientemente, el trabajo con esencias de plantas y flores para el cuidado y la sanación comunitaria.
Nicole’s creative practice is rooted in re-membering and re-gathering her ancestral knowing, including coffee divination and more recently working with plants and flower essences for community care and healing.
