Priority Areas

Supporting feminist, women’s rights and gender justice movements to thrive, to be a driving force in challenging systems of oppression, and to co-create feminist realities.

Building Feminist Economies

Building Feminist Economies is about creating a world with clean air to breath and water to drink, with meaningful labour and care for ourselves and our communities, where we can all enjoy our economic, sexual and political autonomy.


In the world we live in today, the economy continues to rely on women’s unpaid and undervalued care work for the profit of others. The pursuit of “growth” only expands extractivism - a model of development based on massive extraction and exploitation of natural resources that keeps destroying people and planet while concentrating wealth in the hands of global elites. Meanwhile, access to healthcare, education, a decent wage and social security is becoming a privilege to few. This economic model sits upon white supremacy, colonialism and patriarchy.

Adopting solely a “women’s economic empowerment approach” is merely to integrate women deeper into this system. It may be a temporary means of survival. We need to plant the seeds to make another world possible while we tear down the walls of the existing one.


We believe in the ability of feminist movements to work for change with broad alliances across social movements. By amplifying feminist proposals and visions, we aim to build new paradigms of just economies.

Our approach must be interconnected and intersectional, because sexual and bodily autonomy will not be possible until each and every one of us enjoys economic rights and independence. We aim to work with those who resist and counter the global rise of the conservative right and religious fundamentalisms as no just economy is possible until we shake the foundations of the current system.


Our Actions

Our work challenges the system from within and exposes its fundamental injustices:

  • Advance feminist agendas: We counter corporate power and impunity for human rights abuses by working with allies to ensure that we put forward feminist, women’s rights and gender justice perspectives in policy spaces. For example, learn more about our work on the future international legally binding instrument on “transnational corporations and other business enterprises with respect to human rights” at the United Nations Human Rights Council.

  • Mobilize solidarity actions: We work to strengthen the links between feminist and tax justice movements, including reclaiming the public resources lost through illicit financial flows (IFFs) to ensure social and gender justice.

  • Build knowledge: We provide women human rights defenders (WHRDs) with strategic information vital to challenge corporate power and extractivism. We will contribute to build the knowledge about local and global financing and investment mechanisms fuelling extractivism.

  • Create and amplify alternatives: We engage and mobilize our members and movements in visioning feminist economies and sharing feminist knowledges, practices and agendas for economic 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”.

Arundhati Roy, War Talk

Lost For Words

When our embodied labor becomes profit in the hands of the systems we seek to dismantle, it is no wonder that our sexualities and pleasures are once again relegated to the sidelines – especially when they are not profitable enough. In many instances during the production of this issue, we asked ourselves what would happen if we refused to accommodate the essential services of capitalism.

Portrait Manal Tamimi

Manal Tamimi is a Palestinian activist and human rights defender. She is a mother of four who holds a master’s degree in international humanitarian law. Due to her activism, she was arrested three times and got wounded more than once, including with live explosive bullets which are banned internationally. Her family is also a target: her children have been arrested and wounded with live ammunition more than once. The last incident was an assassination attempt of her son Muhammad who was shot in the chest, near the heart, a few weeks after his liberation from the occupation prisons where he had spent two years. Her philosophy on life: if I have to pay the price for being a Palestinian and not for a crime I have committed, I refuse to die in silence.

“Now might be a good time to rethink what a revolution can look like. Perhaps it doesn’t look like a march of angry, abled bodies in the streets. Perhaps it looks something more like the world standing still because all the bodies in it are exhausted—because care has to be prioritized before it’s too late.” 
- Johanna Hedva (https://getwellsoon.labr.io/)

Hospitals are institutions, living sites of capitalism, and what gets played out when somebody is supposed to be resting is a microcosm of the larger system itself. 

Institutions are set out to separate us from our care systems – we find ourselves isolated in structures that are rigidly hierarchical, and it often feels as if care is something done to us rather than given/taken as part of a conversation. Institutional care, because of its integration into capitalist demand, is silo-ed: one person is treating your leg and only your leg, another is treating your blood pressure, etc. 

Photographer Mariam Mekiwi had to have surgery last month and documented the process. Her portraits of sanitized environments – neon white lights, rows after rows of repetitive structures – in a washed-out color palette reflect a place that was drained of life and movement. This was one of the ways Mariam kept her own spirit alive. It was a form of protest from within the confines of an institution she had to engage with.

The photos form a portrait of something incredibly vulnerable, because watching someone live through their own body’s breakdown is always a sacred reminder of our own fragility. It is also a reminder of the fragility of these care systems, which can be denied to us for a variety of reasons – from not having money to not being in a body that’s considered valuable enough, one that’s maybe too feminine, too queer or too brown.  

Care experienced as disembodied and solitary, that is subject to revocation at any moment, doesn’t help us thrive. And it is very different from how human beings actually behave when they take care of each other. How different would our world look like if we committed to dismantling the current capitalist structures around our health? What would it look like if we radically reimagined it?

“Now I know we are all simply children of the universe.”

“Now I know we are all simply children of the universe.”

Menke Meijer’s path was often rocky. “I had mountains of sticks put in my wheels, people trying to stop me, but it has only helped me push harder and further”, she says. Her story is one of strength, dedication, vision, patience, liberation, and one of breaking down multiple barriers. 


“I would have to say I’m fighting two fronts: the first being the fight for gender equality and the second being the fight against a history of colonization and racism.”

Menke at the Great Wall of China

As a Métis woman from a “very poor background”, Menke faced numerous obstacles, seeing her biggest challenge as “simply being a woman, and in certain cases being an aboriginal woman”. She has been confronted with sexism and racism. The stigma and dangers rooted in racism have influenced her way in finding her position and identity as an aboriginal woman. “My family was quite reluctant to speak about our origins” but eventually through Menke’s efforts they “started to open up on the subject.” During her undergraduate and graduate studies, Menke took all the courses she could on the subject of First Peoples in Canada in order to learn more about her origins.

“I’ve been working hard on decolonizing myself and helping my family in reclaiming our identities.”

Part of this work were decisions Menke took, and the biggest and most important being her “decision to pursue education”. She was aware that this “meant a dangerous gamble with hefty student debt” but she also realized that, in comparison to her previous experience in minimum wage work, this was a much more rewarding journey for her.

“I picked to pursue my passions no matter the hardship. It has changed who I am positively, as well as my life.”

Menke obtained a Bachelor’s degree in History from Concordia University in Montreal, winning a merit-based Gordon Ritchie Award/Scholarship. Yet, while studying about slavery, war, and genocide she felt frustrated and in addition to books, she wanted to “take action”. Menke decided to pursue a Master’s degree in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Waterloo, focusing her Master’s work on gender in conflict and peacebuilding, gender in humanitarian aid, and especially on women in China.

“I’m the first woman to hold a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree on both sides of my family. I’m breaking down gender and racial barriers. I’ve never felt so alive and accomplished. I feel liberated.” 

In China, Menke completed a five-month internship with UN Women, for her “an extraordinary experience in extraordinary settings.” During this time, she was invited as a guest speaker at Tsinghua University in Beijing for the Lean In MBA event where, through her own story, she spoke about overcoming ‘roadblocks’ women face in seeking education. As part of her story she shared, “I was raised by a single mother in poverty and had to face many challenges to further my education”.

Much of Menke’s work towards overcoming multiple challenges and striving for change has been pushed by anger, coming from obstacles that were in her way. “Anger can be destructive, but it can also be creative. My challenges anger me, but they also push me to strive for better.”

Striving for better also means having many dreams “for all women, no matter they be white, black, Asian, or any colour, creed or walk of life”. Menke wants “the world to validate women” as “nothing is more moving than being told that you are just a human”.


A bit more about Menke

She had the opportunity to be part of a team that helped establish the Global Peace Centre Canada (GPCC) in Waterloo, initiated by the director of the Master’s of Peace and Conflict Studies program Ziauddin Yousafzai (and Malala Yousafzai’s father). The vision and goal of the GPCC are peace and education for all boys and girls.

Menke was born in British-Columbia, grew up in Quebec and is currently living in Ontario, Canada.

Read Menke’s short story

She wrote a short story entitled “Feeding Wolves”, based on her life as a Métis woman and aboriginal peoples’ experiences in Canada. About the story Menke said that “only three characters are female…I did this on purpose to not only expose a theme of patriarchy that is strongly present in settler society even to this day, but to show how the women are missing from the narrative...”

«Ahora sé que somos simplemente hijas e hijos del universo».

«Ahora sé que somos simplemente hijas e hijos del universo».

El camino de Menke Meijer a menudo fue escabroso. «Tenía muchísimos palos en la rueda, gente que intentaba detenerme, pero todo eso me sirvió para poner más empeño y llegar cada vez más lejos», afirma. La suya es una historia de fortaleza, dedicación, visión, paciencia, liberación y superación de múltiples obstáculos.


«Diría que doy batalla en dos frentes: el primero es la lucha por la igualdad de género y el segundo la lucha contra una historia de colonización y racismo».

Menke en la Gran Muralla China

Como mujer métis de un «entorno muy pobre», Menke enfrentó numerosos obstáculos; para ella,  el principal desafío fue «tan solo ser mujer, y en ciertos casos ser mujer indígena». Debió hacer frente al sexismo y al racismo. El estigma y los peligros que se derivan del racismo incidieron en su forma de encontrar su lugar y su identidad como mujer originaria. «Mi familia era bastante renuente a hablar de nuestros orígenes», pero finalmente gracias al esfuerzo de Menke, «comenzó a abrirse al tema». Durante sus estudios de pregrado y de grado, Menke tomó todos los cursos que pudo sobre los Pueblos Originarios de Canadá para aprender más sobre sus raíces.

«He trabajado profundamente para descolonizarme y ayudar a mi familia a reivindicar nuestras identidades».

Parte de ese trabajo fueron las decisiones que tomó, y la más grande e importante fue la de «estudiar». Sabía que eso «constituía una apuesta peligrosa, porque implicaba asumir una deuda abultada», pero también se dio cuenta de que, en comparación con su experiencia anterior de trabajar por un salario mínimo, con el estudio se le abría un camino más promisorio.

«Escogí seguir mis pasiones sin importar las dificultades. Eso cambió para bien no solo la persona que soy, sino mi vida entera».

Menke obtuvo una licenciatura en Historia en la Universidad de Concordia (Montreal), con una Beca/Distinción por mérito Gordon Ritchie. Sin embargo, mientras estudiaba la esclavitud, las guerras y los genocidios se sintió frustrada y quiso «entrar en acción» más allá de los libros. Por eso, decidió hacer una maestría en Estudios sobre Paz y Resolución de Conflictos en la Universidad de Waterloo, enfocando su trabajo de tesis en género, conflictos y consolidación de la paz; género y ayuda humanitaria; y sobre todo en las mujeres de China. 

«En las dos ramas de mi familia, soy la primera mujer en obtener una licenciatura y una maestría. Estoy rompiendo barreras de género y raciales. Nunca me había sentido tan viva y realizada. Me siento liberada»

En China, Menke realizó un pasantía de cinco meses de duración con ONU Mujeres, que en su opinión fue «una experiencia extraordinaria en lugares extraordinarios». Durante ese tiempo, fue convocada por la Universidad de Tsinghua en Beijing como oradora invitada para el evento Lean In MBA donde, a través de su propia historia, habló (disponible en inglés) de la superación de las barreras con las que tropiezan las mujeres cuando quieren estudiar. Contó que «Fui criada en la pobreza por una madre soltera y tuve que hacer frente a muchos desafíos para avanzar en mi educación».

La motivación de Menke para superar diversos desafíos y luchar por el cambio fue, en buena parte, la ira que le despertaron los obstáculos que se le presentaban en el camino. «La ira puede ser destructiva, pero también puede ser creativa. Los desafíos me enfadan, pero también me empujan a luchar por algo mejor».

Luchar por algo mejor significa también tener muchos sueños «para todas las mujeres, sin importar si son blancas, negras, asiáticas o de cualquier otro color, credo o condición social». Menke desea que «el mundo valide a las mujeres», pues «nada es más movilizador como que te digan que eres un ser humano como cualquier otro».

La visión y el objetivo del GPCC son lograr la paz y la educación para todos los niños y las niñas.

Lee un cuento escrito por Menke

Menke escribió un cuento titulado «Feeding Wolves», (disponible en inglés) basado en su vida como mujer métis y en las experiencias de los pueblos originarios en Canadá. Sobre el cuento, Menke expresó que «Solo tres de sus personajes son mujeres ... Eso lo hice a propósito no solo para poner en evidencia el tema del patriarcado que está muy presente en la sociedad de los colonos incluso hasta hoy, sino también para mostrar de qué manera las mujeres están ausentes de la narrativa...».

« Je sais maintenant que nous sommes toutes et tous simplement des enfants de l’univers. »

« Je sais maintenant que nous sommes toutes et tous simplement des enfants de l’univers. »

Le parcours de Menke Meijer a été semé d’embûches. « On m’a mis une quantité inimaginable de bâtons dans les roues,  de nombreuses personnes ont tenté de m’arrêter. Mais ils ont seulement réussi à me faire déployer davantage d’énergie pour aller encore plus loin », déclare-t-elle. Son existence a été faite de force, de dévouement, de vision, de patience, de libération et, pour cela, elle a dû surmonter de multiples obstacles.


« Je dirais que je me bats sur deux fronts : le premier étant la lutte pour l’égalité de genre et le second, la lutte contre toute une histoire de colonisation et de racisme. »

Menke sur la Grande Muraille de Chine

Femme de la nation métis (lien en anglais) et « d’origine très pauvre », Menke a été confrontée à de nombreux obstacles, le défi le plus grand qu’elle ait eu à relever étant « le simple fait d’être une femme et, dans certains cas, d’être une femme aborigène ». Elle a souffert du sexisme et du racisme. La stigmatisation et les dangers qui prennent leur source dans le racisme ont pavé le chemin qui lui a permis de se positionner et de définir son identité de femme aborigène. « Les membres de ma famille étaient réticent-e-s à parler de nos origines » mais finalement, grâce aux efforts déployés par Menke, ils/elles ont « commencé à s’ouvrir sur ce sujet ». Pendant ses études universitaires de premier cycle et des cycles supérieurs, Menke a choisi de suivre tous les cours existants sur le thème des peuples des Premières Nations du Canada, dans le but d’en apprendre davantage sur ses origines.

« J’ai travaillé dur pour me décoloniser par moi-même et pour aider ma famille à se réapproprier son identité. »

Pour accomplir ce travail, Menke a notamment dû prendre des décisions, parmi lesquelles la plus grande et la plus importante a été « la décision de poursuivre (s)es études ». Elle était consciente du fait que ce choix « étaient un pari risqué, parce que les prêts étudiants créent un lourd endettement ». Mais elle savait aussi que, en comparaison avec les emplois au salaire minimum qu’elle avait occupés, le chemin qui s’ouvrait devant elle serait beaucoup plus gratifiant.

« J’ai fait le choix de vivre mes passions, quel qu’en soit le prix. Cela m’a changée dans le sens positif du terme, et cela a changé ma vie. »

Menke a obtenu une licence en histoire à l’Université Concordia de Montréal, et a remporté la bourse Gordon Ritchie, une récompense fondée sur le mérite. Mais, en étudiant l’esclavage, les guerres et les génocides, elle s’est sentie frustrée. En plus de se plonger dans les livres, elle voulait « agir ». Elle a donc décidé de préparer un master en études de la paix et des conflits à l’Université de Waterloo, son mémoire de master portant principalement sur les thèmes suivants : le genre dans les conflits et la consolidation de la paix, le genre dans l’aide humanitaire et, plus particulièrement, les femmes en Chine.

« Je suis la première femme des deux branches de ma famille à être titulaire d’une licence universitaire et d’un master. J’ai brisé les barrières du genre et de la race. Je ne me suis jamais sentie aussi vivante et aussi accomplie. Je me sens libérée. »

En Chine, Menke a effectué un stage de cinq mois au sein de l’ONU Femmes, « une expérience extraordinaire dans un environnement extraordinaire », déclare-t-elle. Pendant cette période, elle a été invitée par la Tsinghua University de Beijing à s’exprimer lors d’un événement Lean In destiné aux étudiant-e-s de MBA. Par le biais de sa propre histoire, elle a évoqué les moyens de forcer les « barrages » qui empêchent les femmes de poursuivre leurs études. Elle a notamment partagé sa propre histoire en ces mots : « j’ai été élevée dans la pauvreté par une mère célibataire. J’ai dû surmonter de nombreux obstacles pour parfaire ma formation. »

Dans son travail sur les moyens de surmonter des difficultés multiples et de tendre vers le changement, Menke a été motivée par la colère, celle qu’elle a ressentie face aux difficultés qu’elle a elle-même dû surmonter. « Le peur peut détruire, mais elle peut aussi être source de création. Les défis auxquels j’ai été confrontée m’ont mise en colère, mais ils m’ont aussi poussée à tendre vers le meilleur. »

C’est précisément parce qu’elle tend vers le meilleur que Menke a de nombreux rêves « pour toutes les femmes, qu’elles soient blanches, noires, asiatiques ou de n’importe quelle couleur, peu importent leurs convictions religieuses et leur chemin de vie. » Menke veut que « le monde reconnaisse les femmes », car « rien n’est plus touchant que de s’entendre dire qu’on est juste un être humain ».


Quelques éléments complémentaires au sujet de Menke

Elle a eu la possibilité de faire partie de l’équipe qui a contribué à la création du Global Peace Centre Canada (GPCC) de Waterloo, un projet mené à l’initiative du directeur du programme de master en études de la paix et des conflits, Ziauddin Yousafzai (le père de Malala Yousafzai). La vision et la finalité du GPCC sont la paix et l’éducation pour tous les garçons et toutes les filles.

Menke est née en Colombie-Britannique, a grandi à Québec et vit maintenant dans l’Ontario, au Canada.

Menke a écrit une nouvelle intitulée « Feeding Wolves » (Nourrir les loups). Elle est basée sur sa vie de femme de la nation métis et sur le vécu des peuples aborigènes du Canada. À ce sujet, Menke a déclaré : « seuls trois des personnages sont des femmes… il s’agit d’un parti pris volontaire car je voulais aller plus loin que de simplement traiter du patriarcat, un thème encore très présent dans la société coloniale. Je voulais montrer que les femmes sont absentes du récit. »
