Análisis Especiales

AWID es un organización feminista internacional de membresía, que brinda apoyo a los movimientos que trabajan para lograr la justicia de género y los derechos de las mujeres en todo el mundo.

Consejo de Derechos Humanos (CDH)

El Consejo de Derechos Humanos (CDH) es el cuerpo intergubernamental del sistema de las Naciones Unidas responsable de la promoción y protección de todos los derechos humanos en todo el mundo. El HRC se reúne en sesión ordinaria tres veces al año, en marzo, junio y septiembre.  La La Oficina del Alto Comisionado para los Derechos Humanos (ACNUDH) es la secretaría del Consejo de Derechos Humanos.

El CDH  trabaja de la siguiente forma:

  • Debate y aprueba resoluciones sobre cuestiones mundiales de derechos humanos y el estado de los derechos humanos en determinados países

  • Examina las denuncias de víctimas de violaciones a los derechos humanos o las de organizaciones activistas, quienes interponen estas denuncias representando a lxs víctimas.

  • Nombra a expertos independientes que ejecutarán los «Procedimientos Especiales» revisando y presentado informes sobre las  violaciones a los derechos humanos desde una perspectiva temática o en relación a un país específico

  • Participa en discusiones con expertos y  gobiernos respecto a cuestiones de derechos humanos.

  • A través del Examen Periódico Universal, cada cuatro años y medio, se evalúan los  expedientes de derechos humanos de todos los Estados Miembro de las Naciones Unidas

La Sesión actual - CDH44

Se está llevarando a cabo en Ginebra, Suiza del 30 de junio al 17 de julio de 2020.

Our values - Human Rights

Droits humains

nous croyons en une application complète du principe des droits, y compris ceux établis dans les lois internationales, et affirmons la conviction que tous les droits humains sont indissociables, interdépendants et indivisibles. Nous nous engageons à œuvrer pour l'éradication de toutes les discriminations fondées sur le genre, la sexualité, la religion, l'âge, les capacités, l'ethnicité, la race, la nationalité, la classe sociale ou d'autres facteurs.

論壇活動的評選

對於每個AWID論壇,我們廣泛地徵集為女權主義和社會正義運動作出貢獻的活動並製定論壇项目。

對於第14屆AWID國際論壇,我們希望使該項目真正代表運動的多樣性。

這就是為什麼我們採用一種新穎且吸引人的方式來選擇將產生最終論壇項目的提案:參與式評選過程(PSP)。

什麼是參與式評選過程(PSP)?

參與式評選過程是審查活動提案並將其選為正式論壇項目的最後一步。

參與式評選過程的運作模式: 

  1. 活動提案最初是通過我們的“論壇活動徵集”提交的。這些提案面向有興趣展示其女權主義現實實踐的所有人(包括組織和個人)開放。
  2. 在所有提交的活動中,AWID工作人員會預先篩選出一些最能反映論壇主題並提出創新模式來吸引觀參與的活動。
  3. 然後由不同的論壇委員會對活動進行審查併決定入圍名單,從而保障不同地區、運動和想法的多樣性。
  4. 最後,被選定提案的個人和團體會對其他選定的提案進行審查和評分。得票最多的候選人的提案將成為最終論壇項目的一部分。

為什麼AWID決定在第14屆AWID論壇活動評選中採用PSP?

我們認為PSP與AWID論壇息息相關,因為:

  • 它將決策過程的中心置於女權主義現實中的社區裡,這些社區將在論壇上進行展示和討論。
  • 它與我們的身份以及我們作為運動的支持/陪伴組織的角色是一致的。
  • 它與我們同不同的女權主義和社會正義運動共同創建的論壇願景是一致的,後者通過參與不同的委員會(內容和方法、可及性、運動家和東道國)與AWID合作,創建和促進活動來塑造論壇,並通過PSP做出關於項目的決策。
  • 它允許組成論壇結構的紋理(或組成論壇歌曲的聲音)具有更大的多樣性。它確保我們可以超AWID本身以及我們已經了解並與之合作的運動合作夥伴。它為意外驚喜打開了大門。

AWID是如何提出PSP想法的?

這是AWID首次考慮採用這一過程。

最初的想法來自AWID的聯合編輯和員工們。在做出決定之前,我們諮詢了一些已經實施參與式評選過程多年的社區基金。其中包括FRIDA:青年女權主義者基金、國際跨性別基金、UHAI(東非針對性少數群體和性工作者的基金)和中美洲婦女基金。我們諮詢了這些組織,學習其豐富的經驗並獲得了重要的反饋。

In a context like Colombia’s, the work of imagining, dreaming and even creating processes of transformation so we can live in worlds that are decent, just, careful, and affectionate is worthy of admiration. It is an attack on life itself. Not just on the life of one official, but an attack on the soul, on the spirit of an entire people who feels frustrated.

#MeToo in China


The #MeToo movement in China was ignited in January 2018, impelled by the momentum of the #MeToo movement around the globe. The movement was a response to cultural and systemic problems in relation to gender and power within China. The foundation of the movement was laid over decades, with many years of debate and advocacy for gender equality finally erupting into a tremendous force across society. #MeToo has been driven mainly by young people, among whom are countless anonymous women and their allies, and they search for opportunities to realize the ultimate “Chinese Dream”: to transform China into a country with gender equality.
 
The environment for #MeToo movement is extremely adverse in China: the rule of law, the fairness and transparency of government action, and freedom of speech cannot be taken for granted by the movement in China but are the very goals it fights for. From the beginning, it has been an intense struggle, with every victim or activist who comes forward running tremendous risks. From being silenced, humiliated, or retaliated against, to having their safety jeopardized, every success of the #MeToo movement has been won by those who are courageous enough to bear the costs of speaking out and defying censorship.
 
#MeToo in China Exhibition was first held in 2019 and toured in 5 cities. The aim of the exhibition is to bring the personal experiences of the victims and activists to greater prominence and, through engagement with these stories, to inspire our audience to join in the fight. The exhibition has itself become a part of the #MeToo struggle—the exhibition has been beset by challenges on its tour throughout China, on more than one occasion even facing closure.

Abby Lippman

Abby was a pioneering feminist, human-rights activist and former McGill University epidemiologist.

Abby was renowned for championing social causes and for her insightful critiques of reproductive technologies and other medical topics. Specifically, she campaigned against what she called the "geneticization" of reproductive technologies, against hormone replacement therapy and for better, longer research before the approval of discoveries such as the vaccines against the human papillomavirus.

On the news of her passing, friends and colleagues described her fondly as an “ardent advocate” for women’s health.

Les Réalités féministes consistent en une invitation chaleureuse et bienveillante, une sorte d’acte de préservation et de soins massifs (versus un soin individuel), une invitation à archiver et à faire l’inventaire de tout le travail réalisé, sous peine de le voir disparaître.     (...)

somos infinitxs 

Una exposición de Nicole Barakat que encarna su reconexión con los objetos de la diáspora de sus tierras ancestrales en la región del Sudoeste Asiático y África del Norte (SWANA, por sus siglas en inglés).
 
Barakat presenta una colección de obras textiles como manifestaciones de su práctica de conectarse con los objetos desplazados, y a menudo robados, que son exhibidos en colecciones de museos occidentales que incluyen  el Museo del Louvre de París, el Museo Británico de Londres y el Nicholson Museum de Sydney.
 
Para burlar a los guardianes y fisurar las vitrinas que retienen estos objetos ancestrales, Barakat recupera formas de conocimiento precoloniales, no lineales y receptivas que son, a menudo, devaluadas y desestimadas por las instituciones coloniales y patriarcales, utilizando la adivinación con la borra del  café, el trabajo con los  sueños, la escucha intuitiva y las conversaciones con los objetos mismos (fuente).

Sobre Nicole Barakat

Nicole Barakat portrait
Nicole Barakat es una artista femme queer de SWANA, que nació y vive en las tierras de Gadigal (llamadas Sydney) en Australia. Trabaja con procesos intuitivos y de escucha profunda, con la intención de transformar las condiciones de la vida cotidiana. Su obra se desarrolla a través de métodos artísticos no convencionales, creando objetos intrincados que plasman el amor y la paciencia característicos de las prácticas textiles tradicionales.
 
Sus trabajos incluyen dibujos en papel y en tela cortados y cosidos a mano, esculturas realizadas con su propio cabello, tela y materiales vegetales, así como obras en vivo en las que utiliza su voz como material.
 
La práctica creativa de Nicole está arraigada en el re-cuerdo y la re-colección de sus conocimientos ancestrales, incluyendo la adivinación con la borra del café y, más recientemente, el trabajo con esencias de plantas y flores para el cuidado y la sanación comunitaria.

Nicole’s creative practice is rooted in re-membering and re-gathering her ancestral knowing, including coffee divination and more recently working with plants and flower essences for community care and healing. 

Marielle Franco

Marielle fue una política brasileña feminista lesbiana y activista por los derechos humanos.

Criticó abiertamente la brutalidad policial y las ejecuciones extrajudiciales. Su política declaradamente feminista, negra, centrada en las favelas, fue una fuente de esperanza para los grupos marginados de Río de Janeiro, gobernados actualmente por un gobierno municipal conservador y un intendente evangélico.

El 14 de marzo de 2018, después de dar un discurso en Río de Janeiro, Franco y su chofer fueron asesinados a balazos. A partir de la noticia de su muerte, multitudes se volcaron a las calles al grito de «¡Marielle presente!», en demanda de justicia.
