About | AWID

Vision

AWID envisions a world transformed by feminist movements, where resources and political power are equitably shared, intersecting systems of oppression are dismantled, rights are universal and economies center care, collective well-being.

Mission

AWID’s mission is to work alongside movements to expand their political space, strengthen their organizational and financial sustainability and shift more and better resources to feminist organising.

Values

AWID’s values are rooted in the belief that all individuals and communities are equally entitled to power over the decisions that shape their lives. We recognise that achieving this requires confronting and dismantling intersecting systems of oppression, redistributing power and resources and sustaining relationships grounded in solidarity, accountability and collective care

Intersectional Feminism

We work towards gender justice and human rights of women and gender-diverse people through an intersectional feminist approach that recognises how gender, race, caste, class, sexuality, disability, identity and geography and other forms of power shape individuals’ lives.

Movement Leadership

We work alongside movements, supporting connections, collective strategies and political spaces in which members can lead, learn from one another, build and exercise collective power.

Equitable Resourcing

We believe feminist movements need more and better resources that are flexible, long-term, sustainable and responsive to their needs, enabling their political, organizational and financial sustainability without compromising their autonomy.

Care, Solidarity and Feminist Transformation

We believe care, solidarity and collective wellbeing are the foundations of feminist transformation.

Fierce Feminisms: Together We Rise

Fierce Feminisms is our way forward, acknowledging both the multiplicity of feminisms and the value of fierce and unapologetic drive for justice. The state of the world and of feminist movements calls for brave conversations and action. We look forward to working together with our members, partners and funders in creating the worlds we believe in, celebrating the wins and speaking truth to power in service of feminist movements globally.

Theory of Change

AWID’s Theory of Change is that feminist movements are better able to transform power when they are connected across regions and struggles, exchange knowledge and strategies, shape political spaces and decisions, and access more equitable resourcing. We contribute by sustaining relationships, supporting movement leadership and collective action, and advocating for the political, organisational and financial conditions movements need for long-term sustainability.
