“We don’t need systems that fix us. We need systems that stand with us — rooted in care, solidarity, and accountability. Because transformation doesn't start in policy rooms. It begins when the most marginalized voices are no longer an afterthought, but as the blueprint!" - Feminist who uses drugs, Indonesia
The AWID board has taken the difficult decision to cancel the 14th AWID International Forum which had been scheduled to take place from September 20-23, 2021, in the City of Taipei.
This is the first time that AWID has had to cancel a Forum since the first convening was held in 1983. As always, the wellbeing and safety of Forum participants remains our highest priority.
On the road to the AWID Forum, we are inviting you to take part in a series of curated conversations, designed to spark meaningful dialogue and co-creation, among feminist activists and organizations from all over the world.
On 23rd April 2020, AWID staff held a conversation via Instagram to chat about why AWID is producing a Feminist Realities magazine, to share more about the kind of stories we would like to feature, and to answer any questions that prospective contributors may have.
"Language translation and language interpretation are political works!"
Meet our Board member Margo as she shares her experience as a trans-national feminist addressing military violence against women in Palestine, East Asia and the US. She tells us about how access to language and translation is a concrete example on what #FeministRealities can look like.
On October 30, 2019, AWID held an interactive conversation which explored the Feminist Realities concept, how to identify and amplify examples of Feminist Realities, and how the framework can be applied to activism.
We are excited to offer you a new Feminist Realities Toolkit that provides practical steps and resources to spark creative conversations around the living, breathing examples of the just worlds we are co-creating. It is now time to spotlight inspiring stories.
Your favourite AWID essays are now available in audio format! Original texts authored by feminists from around the world are interpreted in English, French and Spanish.
On 21 August 2018, the AWID team held a live discussion to share our vision for Co-creating Feminist Realities, the framework guiding our work from 2018-2022.
