Building Feminist Economies

We create a world based on care and the sustainability of all life, with meaningful labour and care for ourselves, our communities, and our ecosystems. A world where we can all enjoy economic and social rights, bodily autonomy, and political sovereignty, while respectfully co-existing with nature.

Building Feminist Economies

Overview

The current economic model sits upon white supremacy, colonialism, patriarchy, colonial domination, and ecological destruction. The economy continues to rely on the unpaid and undervalued care work of women and marginalized communities for the profit of others. The incessant pursuit of “growth” continues to drive extractivism—a model of development based on the  mass extraction and exploitation of natural resources. Meanwhile, healthcare, education, living wages, and social security are a privilege inaccessible to the majority.

We support feminist resistance to corporate power, supporting feminist economic alternatives to be visible  and integrating climate justice as a key priority across all of our work. By amplifying feminist proposals and visions, we aim to build new paradigms of just economies and cultivate feminist interconnections across climate, gender, economic, racial and labour justice.

“The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling – their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing”.

Our Tactics

We approach this work with a comprehensive feminist macroeconomic justice agenda, linked to critical themes as tax justice, debt cancellation, and corporate capture of policy space. Wel center relationship-building and feminist solidarity with labor and other social movements, including migrant workers, domestic workers, sex workers.
