Да! Мы признаем и ценим различные причины, по которым феминистки(-ты), работающие в различных контекстах, не имеют внешнего финансирования. Эти причины могут разниться: от невозможности подавать заявки на гранты из-за несоответствия требованиями и/или невозможности получения денег из-за рубежа, до использования генерируемых автономно ресурсов, в качестве самостоятельной политической стратегии. Мы хотим услышать ваше мнение, независимо от наличия или отсутствия у вас опыта работы с внешним финансированием.

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.

¡No hay economías feministas sin sindicatos feministas!

A través de la organización laboral y sindical, Sopo, Sabrina y Linda no solo luchan por los derechos de lxs mujeres, lxs trabajadorxs esenciales, lxs trabajadorxs migrantes y lxs trabajadores sexuales, sino por los derechos de todxs lxs trabajadorxs.

La lucha para acabar con la explotación de lxs trabajadores es una lucha feminista, y nos muestra que no hay economías feministas sin sindicatos feministas.

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.

Les cycles menstruels sont généralement d’une durée de 27 à 30 jours. Pendant cette période, les règles elles-mêmes ne durent que 5 à 7 jours. L’épuisement, les sautes d’humeur et les crampes sont le résultat de l’inflammation qui se produit alors. (...)

En 2016 convocamos el 13º Foro Internacional de AWID en Bahía, Brasil, al que asistieron 1800 participantes de 120 países y territorios de todo el mundo. El Foro fue un espacio muy necesario para la construcción de estrategias y alianzas con feministas y otros movimientos de justicia.

Sabemos que los movimientos por lo derechos de las mujeres y feministas son actores clave en la creación de un cambio transformador sostenible. En nuestros movimientos, la organización, resistencia y respuesta al contexto desafiante se está agudizando, y en nuestro mundo cada vez más conectado, el potencial para la acción colectiva a través de diversos movimientos ha crecido dramáticamente. Este es el trabajo crucial que AWID busca amplificar y apoyar. Nos proponemos informar y equipar a organizaciones y movimientos por los derechos de las mujeres para responder a las oportunidades y contrarrestar las amenazas. Apoyamos una mayor visibilidad y comprensión de las iniciativas por los derechos de las mujeres y las amenazas que enfrentan, y también trabajamos para influenciar a lxs actores e instituciones que dan forma a los derechos humanos y a los resultados de desarrollo.

Lo que logramos en 2016

Mayor solidaridad y acción conjunta en diversos movimientos

El innovador 13º Foro Internacional de AWID se realizó del 8 al 11 de septiembre de 2016 en Bahía, Brasil, con el tema: «Futuros Feministas: Construyendo poder colectivo por los derechos y la justicia». Si bien gran parte de la energía de AWID en 2016 se dedicó al proceso del Foro, también se valió del pensamiento y la energía de casi 500 aliadxs, presentadorxs, panelistas, moderadorxs, artivistas, escritorxs, facilitadorxs, innovadorxs de TI y artistas de performance, muchxs de ellxs líderes en su campo. También, en reconocimiento a la historia y la lucha de Bahía, albergamos al Foro de Feminismos Negros (BFF, por su sigla en inglés), de dos días, organizado por un grupo de trabajo conformado por feministas negrxs de todo el mundo.

El fortalecimiento del conocimiento de temas y estrategias

• SOBRE DESAFIAR AL PODER CORPORATIVO. Produjimos Desafiar al poder corporativo: las luchas por los derechos de las mujeres, la justicia económica y de género junto con el Solidarity Center, revelando la escala y el alcance del poder corporativo y describiendo cómo las corporaciones en connivencia con élites y otros actores poderosos están teniendo impacto en las vidas de las mujeres y los pueblos oprimidos. El informe ofrece ideas sobre estrategias de resistencia, destacando cinco luchas que utilizaron la colaboración entre movimientos para desafiar al poder corporativo.

• SOBRE ECONOMÍAS FEMINISTAS. Produjimos Propuestas feministas para una economía justa juntamente al Centro para el Liderazgo Mundial de las Mujeres (CWGL, por su sigla en inglés) y la Red de Mujeres Africanas para el Desarrollo y la Comunicación FEMNET. Propuestas Feministas es una plataforma en internet que propone una agenda feminista para el desarrollo y la justicia
  económica y de género.

• SOBRE DESAFIAR A LOS FUNDAMENTALISMOS. El diablo se esconde en los detalles: En el nexo entre el desarrollo, los derechos de las mujeres y los fundamentalismos religiosos detalla cómo los fundamentalismos religiosos limitan el desarrollo y los derechos de las mujeres en particular y proporciona recomendaciones a lxs actores del desarrollo para fortalecer los derechos de las mujeres.

• SOBRE ACTIVISMO JOVEN FEMINISTA. Junto a FRIDA lanzamos Valientes, creativxs, resilientes: La situación a nivel global de la organización de jóvenes feministas en el Espacio de Activismo Joven Feminista durante el Foro de AWID. Este proyecto de descripción del estado del activismo feminista joven se basa en los datos recopilados de 1360 solicitudes de subvenciones recibidas por FRIDA entre los años de 2012 y 2014 y una encuesta global, que contó con 694 respuestas de 118 países diferentes.

La incidencia colectiva

AWID, en asociación con otras organizaciones feministas y por los derechos de las mujeres, se involucró en la incidencia y el diálogo para explorar mejores soluciones para las agendas de derechos de las mujeres, como nuestro trabajo con el consorsio Count Me In! 

El aumento de la visibilidad de los movimientos

Las experiencias de mujeres con discapacidad, mujeres negras y afrodescendientes, trabajadorxs sexuales, mujeres indígenas, personas trans y personas intersexuales, trabajadorxs domesticxs
y cómo sus vidas se ven afectadas por múltiples opresiones y violencias estuvieron en el centro del proceso del Foro.

Durante los 16 Días de activismo, y gracias a las contribuciones de nuestrxs increíbles afiliadxs, lanzamos el Tributo a lxs defensorxs de derechos humanos 2016 para celebrar la vida de lxs defensorxs que ya no están con nosotrxs.

Nuestra colaboración con The Guardian y Mama Cash: la sección de enfoque en derechos de las mujeres e igualdad de género del portal de desarrollo global de The Guardian ha resultado en una mayor atención a los grupos y temas
que no suelen recibir la cobertura adecuada de los medios de comunicación dominantes.

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).
