AWID Forum: Co-creating Feminist Futures

In September 2016, the 13th AWID international Forum brought together in Brazil over 1800 feminists and women’s rights advocates in a spirit of resistance and resilience.

This section highlights the gains, learnings and resources that came out of our rich conversations. We invite you to explore, share and comment!


What has happened since 2016?

One of the key takeaways from the 2016 Forum was the need to broaden and deepen our cross-movement work to address rising fascisms, fundamentalisms, corporate greed and climate change.

With this in mind, we have been working with multiple allies to grow these seeds of resistance:

And through our next strategic plan and Forum process, we are committed to keep developing ideas and deepen the learnings ignited at the 2016 Forum.

What happens now?

The world is a much different place than it was a year ago, and it will continue to change.

The next AWID Forum will take place in the Asia Pacific region (exact location and dates to be announced in 2018).

We look forward to you joining us!

About the AWID Forum

AWID Forums started in 1983, in Washington DC. Since then, the event has grown to become many things to many peoples: an iterative process of sharpening our analyses, vision and actions; a watershed moment that reinvigorates participants’ feminisms and energizes their organizing; and a political home for women human rights defenders to find sanctuary and solidarity.

Plus qu’un simple évènement, le Forum de l’AWID s’inscrit dans notre voyage d’exploration des réalités féministes, qui offre de nombreux espaces où se réunir, en ligne et hors ligne, afin d’échanger, discuter, élaborer des stratégies et co-créer des réalités féministes.

Apprenez-en plus sur l’aventure des réalités féministes et sur tout ce qui se passera en amont du Forum. Et restez à l'écoute pour ne pas manquer les annonces post-Forum ! 

Nous explorons actuellement les possibilités de participer virtuellement au Forum et veillerons à vous partager l'information lorsque nous saurons ce que nous sommes en mesure de vous proposer.
