Priority Areas

Supporting feminist, women’s rights and gender justice movements to thrive, to be a driving force in challenging systems of oppression, and to co-create feminist realities.

Co-Creating Feminist Realities

While we dream of a feminist world, there are those who are already building and living it. These are our Feminist Realities!

What are Feminist Realities?

Feminist Realities are the living, breathing examples of the just world we are co-creating. They exist now, in the many ways we live, struggle and build our lives.

Feminist Realities go beyond resisting oppressive systems to show us what a world without domination, exploitation and supremacy look like.

These are the narratives we want to unearth, share and amplify throughout this Feminist Realities journey.

Transforming Visions into Lived Experiences

Through this initiative, we:

  • Create and amplify alternatives: We co-create art and creative expressions that center and celebrate the hope, optimism, healing and radical imagination that feminist realities inspire.

  • Build knowledge: We document, demonstrate & disseminate methodologies that will help identify the feminist realities in our diverse communities.

  • Advance feminist agendas: We expand and deepen our collective thinking and organizing to advance just solutions and systems that embody feminist values and visions.

  • Mobilize solidarity actions: We engage feminist, women’s rights and gender justice movements and allies in sharing, exchanging and jointly creating feminist realities, narratives and proposals at the 14th AWID International Forum.


The AWID International Forum

As much as we emphasize the process leading up to, and beyond, the four-day Forum, the event itself is an important part of where the magic happens, thanks to the unique energy and opportunity that comes with bringing people together.

We expect the next Forum to:

  • Build the power of Feminist Realities, by naming, celebrating, amplifying and contributing to build momentum around experiences and propositions that shine light on what is possible and feed our collective imaginations

  • Replenish wells of hope and energy as much needed fuel for rights and justice activism and resilience

  • Strengthen connectivity, reciprocity and solidarity across the diversity of feminist movements and with other rights and justice-oriented movements

Learn more about the Forum process

We are sorry to announce that the 14th AWID International Forum is cancelled

Given the current world situation, our Board of Directors has taken the difficult decision to cancel Forum scheduled in 2021 in Taipei.

I believe empowered women empower women and that is why I’ve had an incredible time being an AWID member. My knowledge and understanding of Feminism and intersectionality has been broadened by the exposure I received being part of the AWID Community Street Team. I hope more women join and share topics and ideas that will help other women.

Sexting Like a Feminist: Humor in the Digital Feminist Revolution

On September 2nd, 2021, the amazing feminist and social justice activists of AWID’s Crear | Résister | Transform festival came together not only to share resistance strategies, co-create, and transform the world, but also to talk dirty on Twitter.

The exercise was led by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, co-founder of the blog Adventures From The Bedrooms of African Women and author of The Sex Lives of African Women, who paired up with the Pan-Africanist digital queer womanist platform AfroFemHub, to ask the question: How can we safely and consensually explore our pleasure, desires, and fantasies via text?

Basically: How would a feminist sext?

I believe this is a critically important question because it looks at the larger issue of how one navigates the online world with a feminist understanding. Under capitalism, discourse around bodies and sex can be dehumanizing and distorting, and navigating sexual pleasure in virtual spaces can feel performative. So seeking out avenues where we can explore how we share our desire in ways that are affirming and enthusiastic can push back against dominant models of presentation and consumption to reclaim these spaces as sites for authentic engagement, proving that all sexting should be just that: feminist.

Plus, allowing feminist discourse to embody its playful side in online discourse helps reframe a popular narrative that feminist engagement is joyless and dour. But as we know, having fun is part of our politics, and an inherent part of what it means to be feminist.

Using the hashtag #SextLikeAFeminist, scholars and activists from all over the world chimed in with their thirstiest feminist tweets, and here are my top ten.

As these tweets show, it turns out that sexting like a feminist is sexy, funny – and horny. Yet, it never loses sight of its commitment to equity and justice.

Women Human Rights Defenders

WHRDs are self-identified women and lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LBTQI) people and others who defend rights and are subject to gender-specific risks and threats due to their human rights work and/or as a direct consequence of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

WHRDs are subject to systematic violence and discrimination due to their identities and unyielding struggles for rights, equality and justice.

The WHRD Program collaborates with international and regional partners as well as the AWID membership to raise awareness about these risks and threats, advocate for feminist and holistic measures of protection and safety, and actively promote a culture of self-care and collective well being in our movements.


Risks and threats targeting WHRDs  

WHRDs are exposed to the same types of risks that all other defenders who defend human rights, communities, and the environment face. However, they are also exposed to gender-based violence and gender-specific risks because they challenge existing gender norms within their communities and societies.

By defending rights, WHRDs are at risk of:

  • Physical assault and death
  • Intimidation and harassment, including in online spaces
  • Judicial harassment and criminalization
  • Burnout

A collaborative, holistic approach to safety

We work collaboratively with international and regional networks and our membership

  • to raise awareness about human rights abuses and violations against WHRDs and the systemic violence and discrimination they experience
  • to strengthen protection mechanisms and ensure more effective and timely responses to WHRDs at risk

We work to promote a holistic approach to protection which includes:

  • emphasizing the importance of self-care and collective well being, and recognizing that what care and wellbeing mean may differ across cultures
  • documenting the violations targeting WHRDs using a feminist intersectional perspective;
  • promoting the social recognition and celebration of the work and resilience of WHRDs ; and
  • building civic spaces that are conducive to dismantling structural inequalities without restrictions or obstacles

Our Actions

We aim to contribute to a safer world for WHRDs, their families and communities. We believe that action for rights and justice should not put WHRDs at risk; it should be appreciated and celebrated.

  • Promoting collaboration and coordination among human rights and women’s rights organizations at the international level to  strengthen  responses concerning safety and wellbeing of WHRDs.

  • Supporting regional networks of WHRDs and their organizations, such as the Mesoamerican Initiative for WHRDs and the WHRD Middle East and North Africa  Coalition, in promoting and strengthening collective action for protection - emphasizing the establishment of solidarity and protection networks, the promotion of self-care, and advocacy and mobilization for the safety of WHRDs;

  • Increasing the visibility and recognition of  WHRDs and their struggles, as well as the risks that they encounter by documenting the attacks that they face, and researching, producing, and disseminating information on their struggles, strategies, and challenges:

  • Mobilizing urgent responses of international solidarity for WHRDs at risk through our international and regional networks, and our active membership.

Feminine Life and Disability: Fighting against the discrimination in Senegal

Feminine Life and Disability: Fighting against the discrimination in Senegal

The organization Vie Féminine et Handicap (Feminine Life and Disability) became an AWID member in 2008 “to better defend our ideas, to better promote awareness of the discrimination faced by women living with disability in Africa, and to increase visibility of our work,” says President of the organization, Ndoya Kane. 


Considering the specific needs of women living with disability

Launched in 2008, the mission of Vie Féminine et Handicap is to fight against poverty among women living with disability in Senegal and globally, but especially across the African continent. With a vision where disability is no longer a barrier to a woman’s dignity or well-being, the main objectives of the organization are to combat poverty, sexually transmitted infections, and AIDS among women living with disability, while strengthening their access to new information technologies.    

Vie Féminine et Handicap was created to address the issues of disabled women from a perspective that considers their specific needs, related to both their status as a woman and as a person living with a disability – and to ensure that their economic situation evolves in a positive way and to better sensitize society to disability issues without the negative prejudice. 

Comprised of some fifteen members and working mainly across the Pikine and Guédiawaye departments in the Dakar region, the work of Vie Féminine et Handicap includes awareness raising and training for women living with disability, as well as advocacy with decision-makers around the human rights of women living with disability, their economic empowerment, and their sexual and reproductive health. “We do awareness raising on the issue of disability in neighbourhoods by inviting community authorities, youth and ‘able-bodied’ people, because disability is surrounded by a lot of negative prejudice in the Senegalese and African context in general. We also participate in conferences at the African and International level to discuss the situation of disabled women in Africa and around the world to better align our strategies,” highlights Kane. 

 “Without solidarity, without an understanding that the fight that we lead is not done in the interest of a sole disabled people’s organization, but in the interest of all, we will never achieve any results. Each disabled people’s organization to understand that the fight that we lead outweighs the competition and that we have to go forward together to succeed in getting long lasting results,” explained Ndoya Kane in 2010, in a repport produced by AWID

Pooling resources and the self-financing of members

Since February 2010, the organization has established a self-financing fund, which consists of pooling member contributions to allow each one to finance small personal projects and to initiate income-generating activities for its members, mainly focused on small business. The idea to create the fund originated from our members themselves, a vulnerable group with limited economic resources and for which access to credit is nearly impossible.

The Fund for example allowed Marétou Diop, a resident of Guédiawaye, to open a shop in her neighbourhood market and sell foodstuffs. “Now the other women are joining our self-financing fund to receive credit and finance their activities,” highlights Ndoya Kane.  

“Group discussions are even more important as they give us the opportunity to meet among women living with disability and build confidence in some to comfortably talk about the issues they face as women. Together we decide which challenges exist and try to engage specialists in addressing the issue,” says Kane.

Género y discapacidad: la lucha contra la discriminación en Senegal

Género y discapacidad: la lucha contra la discriminación en Senegal

La organización Vie Féminine et Handicap [vida femenina y discapacidad] se afilió a AWID en el año 2008. La Presidenta de la organización, Ndoye Kane, afirma que esto se hizo  « con el fin de defender mejor nuestras ideas, mejorar la concientización  sobre la discriminación experimentada por las mujeres que viven con discapacidad en África y para dar mayor visibilidad a nuestro trabajo». 


Tener en cuenta las necesidades específicas de las mujeres que viven con discapacidad

Vie Féminine et Handicap comenzó a operar en 2008 y su misión es luchar contra la pobreza que sufren las mujeres que viven con discapacidad en Senegal y en todo el mundo –aunque   especialmente en el continente africano. En su visión, la discapacidad dejar de ser una barrera para la dignidad o el bienestar de las mujeres. Los principales objetivos de la organización son la lucha contra la pobreza, las infecciones de transmisión sexual y el sida entre las mujeres que viven con diversidad funcional, fortaleciendo su acceso a las nuevas tecnologías de la información.

Vie Féminine et Handicap se creó para abordar cuestiones relevantes a las  mujeres con diversidad funcional — desde una perspectiva que toma en cuenta sus necesidades específicas como mujeres y personas que viven con una discapacidad —;   para garantizar que su situación económica evoluciona de manera positiva;  y para mejorar la sensibilidad social a temas relacionados con la discapacidad, eliminando los prejuicios negativos.

La organización cuenta con 15 integrantes y trabaja, principalmente,  en los departamentos de Pikine y Guédiawaye de la región de Dakar. Su tarea incluye crear conciencia y capacitar a mujeres que viven con diversidad funcional;  y también hacer incidencia con tomadores de decisión por los derechos humanos de las mujeres que viven con discapacidad, su empoderamiento económico y su salud sexual y reproductiva. «Creamos conciencia sobre el tema de la diversidad funcional en las comunidades, invitando a las autoridades, a la juventud y a las personas sin discapacidades, porque en Senegal y en el contexto africano hay, por lo general, muchos prejuicios negativos en torno a las capacidades diferentes. También participamos en conferencias regionales e internacionales para hablar de la situación de las mujeres discapacitadas en África y en el mundo; y para alinear mejor nuestras estrategias», subraya Kane.

«Sin solidaridad, sin una comprensión de que la lucha que nosotras lideramos no es para una sola organización de personas discapacitadas, sino para todas, nunca lograremos ningún resultado. Cada organización de personas con diversidad funcional debe comprender que la lucha que estamos librando es más importante que la competencia y que debemos avanzar juntas para seguir obteniendo resultados duraderos.», explicó Ndoya Kane,  en el 2010 en un informe de AWID.

Recursos combinados y el financiamiento autónomo de la membresía

En febrero de 2010, la organización creó un fondo de autofinanciamiento,  que combina los aportes de su membresía para que cada integrante financie pequeños proyectos personales y para iniciar actividades de generación de ingresos, particularmente bajo la forma de pequeños negocios. La idea de crear este fondo surgió de la propia membresía –un  grupo vulnerable con recursos económicos limitados y para  el que resulta casi imposible acceder al crédito.

Un ejemplo de este trabajo es la historia de Marétou Dio, quien vive en Guédiawaye: el fondo le permitió instalar un puesto en el mercado de su comunidad y vender productos alimenticios. «Ahora hay mujeres que se están sumando a nuestro fondo autofinanciado para obtener crédito y costear sus actividades», indica Ndoya Kane.

«Las conversaciones grupales son todavía más importantes porque  abren la oportunidad de reunirnos con otras mujeres que viven con discapacidad y  generar relaciones de confianza para hablar cómodamente sobre los problemas que nosotras enfrentamos. Decidimos colectivamente cuáles son los desafíos que afrontamos e intentamos traer especialistas para abordarlos», explica Kane.

Vie Féminine et Handicap : lutter contre les discriminations au Sénégal

Vie Féminine et Handicap : lutter contre les discriminations au Sénégal

L’association Vie Féminine et Handicap est devenue membre de l’AWID en 2008 « pour mieux défendre nos idées, mieux sensibiliser sur les discriminations dont les femmes en situation de handicap sont victimes en Afrique et offrir une meilleure visibilité de nos actions », confie la Présidente de l’association, Ndoya Kane. 


Prendre en compte les besoins spécifiques des femmes en situation de handicap 

Créée en 2008, Vie Féminine et Handicap se donne pour mission de lutter contre la pauvreté des femmes en situation de handicap au Sénégal et de façon plus globale sur tout le continent africain. Dans le cadre d’une vision où le handicap ne devrait pas constituer un frein à la dignité et au bien-être des femmes, l’association se donne pour objectifs principaux de lutter contre la pauvreté, les Infections Sexuellement Transmissibles et le Sida chez les femmes en situation de handicap, tout en renforçant leur accès aux nouvelles technologies de l’information. 

Vie Féminine et Handicap a été créée pour que les problématiques des femmes handicapées soient gérées à partir d’une perspective qui prenne en compte leurs besoins spécifiques, liés à la fois à leurs statuts de femme et de personne handicapée, et pour que leur situation économique évolue de façon positive et que la société soit mieux sensibilisée aux questions du handicap sans préjugés négatifs. 
Constituée d’une cinquantaine de membres et agissant principalement sur les départements de Pikine et de Guédiawaye dans la région de Dakar, Vie Féminine et Handicap entreprend des activités de sensibilisation et de formation des femmes en situation de handicap ainsi que de plaidoyer envers les autorités, qui portent à la fois sur la question de l’exercice des droits humains des femmes handicapées, leur pouvoir économique et leur santé sexuelle et reproductive.  « Nous organisons des activités de sensibilisation sur le handicap dans les quartiers en y invitant les autorités communales, les jeunes et les personnes « valides » car le handicap est entouré de beaucoup de préjugés négatifs dans la culture sénégalaise et africaine en général. Nous participons aussi à des conférences aux niveaux africain et international pour débattre de la situation des femmes handicapées en Afrique et dans le monde pour une meilleure harmonisation de nos stratégies », souligne Ndoya Kane.

« Sans faire preuve de solidarité, sans comprendre que notre combat n’est pas mené pour défendre les intérêts d’une seule organisation de personnes handicapées, mais de tou-te-s, nous n’obtiendrons jamais de résultats. Toutes les organisations de personnes handicapées doivent comprendre que le combat que nous menons est plus important que les rivalités internes et que nous devons avancer ensemble pour réussir à obtenir des résultats durables », expliquait Ndoya Kane en 2010 dans un rapport de l'AWID.

Mutualisation des ressources et autofinancement des membres

L’association a mis en place depuis février 2010 une caisse d’autofinancement (CAF), qui consiste à mettre en commun les cotisations des membres pour permettre à chacune de disposer de financements de petits projets personnels et d’initier des activités génératrices de revenus pour ses membres, axées notamment autour du petit commerce. L’idée de créer cette CAF est née de la volonté des membres elles-mêmes, qui constituent un groupe très précaire disposant de faibles ressources économiques et dont l’accès aux crédits formels s’avère par conséquent impossible.

La CAF a par exemple permis à Marétou Diop, une habitante de Guédiawaye, d’ouvrir une boutique dans le marché de son quartier pour y vendre des denrées alimentaires. « Maintenant, les autres femmes viennent adhérer à notre Caisse d’Autofinancement pour trouver du crédit et financer leurs activités », souligne Ndoya Kane. 

« Les discussions de groupe sont d’autant plus importantes qu’elles permettent de nous retrouver entre femmes handicapées et renforcent la confiance chez certaines pour parler de leur condition de femme en toute aisance. Nous choisissons ensemble quel problème existe et essayons d’avoir recours à des spécialistes pour nous entretenir sur la question », raconte Ndoya Kane.

Mobilizing for Women and Girl Victims of War Violence in the DRC

Mobilizing for Women and Girl Victims of War Violence in the DRC

The organization l’Initiatives des Femmes en Situations Difficiles pour le Développement Intégré (Initiatives of Women in Difficult Situations for Integrated Development, IFESIDI) became an AWID member in 2012, which they consider “a network through which IFESIDI could benefit from lots of experience in the area of promoting and protecting women’s rights.”


“Together in the fight for women’s and girls’ rights!” 

For over twenty years, the wars affecting eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have been at the root of massive human rights violations – particularly the rights of women, girls and children – including rape and other forms of violence against women and girls.  The appropriation of their resources and their consequent impoverishment, as well as being placed in a vulnerable situations from displacement following attacks in their village, all contribute to a precarious situation for women and girls. Faced with this reality, IFESIDI was created in 2002 to improve the social conditions of women and girl victims of violence related to war, including those living in rural areas; and to promote and protect their rights. This non-denominational non-profit is composed of 35 members, its activities covering at least the whole of the South Kivu province in eastern DRC. With the slogan “Together in the fight for women’s and girls’ rights!” IFESIDI hopes that Congolese women and girls can one day live in dignity.

Strengthening the Economic and Educational Capacities of Women Victims of War

In addition to counselling services for women and girl victims of violence in different spheres – namely domestic, academic and professional – the organization is currently conducting an economic and educational capacity building program for women victims of war. The program includes job training, related to, among others, artisan soap making, fabric cutting and sewing.  

One of the beneficiaries of the program explains: “Before being invited by IFESIDI and being trained, I was carrying heavy bags of sand for construction workers in the city of Bukavu, going back and forth with these bags on my back all day long. The displaced woman that I am in this city, without financial resources, I was without any hope to continue to live and no one looked at me when I passed by… But today, thanks to IFESIDI, I can talk, I can pass by and people will know that it’s “mama” Ponga Musema who is passing by!”      

Mobilizing as part of the 16 Days of Activism

As part of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign, which begins on 25 November and ends 10 December, IFESIDI is organizing awareness raising activities, a panel discussion, advocacy strategies, exchanges and an evaluation with the women and girls that the organization targets.
