AWID’s Tribute is an art exhibition honouring feminists, women’s rights and social justice activists from around the world who are no longer with us.
This year’s tribute tells stories and shares narratives about those who co-created feminist realities, have offered visions of alternatives to systems and actors that oppress us, and have proposed new ways of organising, mobilising, fighting, working, living, and learning.
49 new portraits of feminists and Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) are added to the gallery. While many of those we honour have passed away due to old age or illness, too many have been killed as a result of their work and who they are.
This increasing violence (by states, corporations, organized crime, unknown gunmen...) is not only aimed at individual activists but at our joint work and feminist realities.
The portraits of the 2020 edition are designed by award winning illustrator and animator, Louisa Bertman.
AWID would like to thank the families and organizations who shared their personal stories and contributed to this memorial. We join them in continuing the remarkable work of these activists and WHRDs and forging efforts to ensure justice is achieved in cases that remain in impunity.

It took shape with a physical exhibit of portraits and biographies of feminists and activists who passed away at AWID’s 12th International Forum, in Turkey. It now lives as an online gallery, updated every year.
To date, 467 feminists and WHRDs are featured.

El MSTC no trabaja solo. Colabora con instituciones y colectivos de arte para producir experiencias culturales, deportivas y educativas, junto con el acceso crítico a la atención médica. Desde su inicio, este proyecto participativo ha sido liderado y llevado a cabo principalmente por mujeres, bajo el liderazgo de la activista afro-brasileña Carmen Silva, quien alguna vez fue una persona sin hogar.
The theme of the Fourth High-level Dialogue on Financing for Development, 23-24 March 2010: The Monterrey Consensus and Doha Declaration on Financing for Development: status of implementation and tasks ahead. It had four round tables on: the reform of the international monetary and financial systems; impact of the financial crisis on foreign direct investments; international trade and private flows; and the role of financial and technical development cooperation, including innovative sources of development finance, in leveraging the mobilization of domestic and international financial resources for development.
There was also the informal interactive dialogue involving various stakeholders that focused on the link between financing for development and achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
L'organisation communautaire des femmes noires dans le Cauca du Nord en Colombie remonte au passé colonial du pays, marqué par le racisme, le patriarcat et le capitalisme qui ont soutenu l'esclavage comme moyen d'exploiter les riches sols de la région. Ces organisatrices sont les héroïnes d'un vaste mouvement pour l'autonomie des personnes noires, luttant pour la gestion durable des forêts et des ressources naturelles de la région, vitales pour leur culture et leur subsistance.
Depuis 25 ans, la Asociación de Mujeres Afrodescendientes del Norte del Cauca (l’Association des Femmes Afro-Descendantes du Cauca du Nord, ASOM) se consacre à la promotion de l'organisation des femmes afro-colombiennes du Cauca du Nord.
L’association a été créée en 1997 en réponse aux violations continues des droits humains, à l'absence de politiques publiques, à la gestion inadéquate des ressources naturelles et au manque d'opportunités pour les femmes dans le territoire.
Elles ont forgé la lutte pour garantir les droits ethno-territoriaux, pour mettre fin aux violences contre les femmes et pour faire reconnaître le rôle des femmes dans la construction de la paix en Colombie.
