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.
Many participants at the 2016 AWID International Forum shared that the plenary session led by the Fearless Collective was one of their most memorable moments - a beautiful testimony to learning from young feminist methodologies.
This comic book draws from ‘Brave, Creative and Resistant: The State of Young Feminist Organising’, a report by AWID and FRIDA shows that young feminists are diverse and organise intersectionally, collaborate with activists across a range of social justice movements and lead through participation and consensus building.
Human rights are universal, indivisible, interdependent, and inalienable. Yet, today ultra conservative actors are targeting the systems established to protect our human rights.
In our report on Women Human Rights Defenders confronting extractive industries, AWID and the Women Human Rights Defender International Coalition (WHRDIC) have made the following recommendations in order to contribute towards a safe, enabling environments for WHRDs as they peacefully exercise power and define visions of development for themselves and their communities.
Building on inspiring stories of resistance, our new practical guide presents concrete strategies put in place by WHRDs to confront corporate power and preserve their people, livelihood and territories against extractivism.
We invite you to share the '#MovementsMatter' illustrations with your networks to support your movement-building work of changing hearts and minds.
Explore our ‘Movements Matter', a digital visual art series that illustrates how movements build collective and compelling political power for human rights, equality and justice.
Join us in commemorating and celebrating WHRDs who have fought tirelessly for their human rights and for those of others. We welcome you to share these on your social media channels and to add your own reflections on the contributions these WHRDs have made to the advancement of human rights.
