The AWID Forum is the world’s largest event that wholeheartedly centers feminist and gender justice movements in all their diversity.

We reject the co-optation of the human rights framework that the fulfillment of the rights of trans women and cis women is or can be conflicting and incompatible.

The Forum was a key space for the Indigenous Women’s Movement (IWM) in its relationship to feminism.

Many participants experience the AWID Forums as a unique space of freedom where they are embraced and celebrated as they are.

Sara Abu Ghazal, Palestinian feminist in Lebanon, tells the story of what the Forums meant for a new generation of feminists in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region that introduced new ways of organising, new understandings of feminism and new issues to the regional women’s rights landscape.

The 2016 AWID Forum was the first international event of this magnitude that Tidinha attended.

Estamos cansadas ​​de sermos reduzidas a estudos de caso e campos de pesquisa para acadêmicos e estatísticas para financiadores, em vez de sermos vistas como seres humanos que somos.

We are tired of being reduced to case studies and research fields for academics and statistics for funders, instead of being seen as the human beings we are.
