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.

Co-Creating Feminist Realities

While we dream of a feminist world, there are those who are already building and living it. These are our Feminist Realities!

What are Feminist Realities?

Feminist Realities are the living, breathing examples of the just world we are co-creating. They exist now, in the many ways we live, struggle and build our lives.

Feminist Realities go beyond resisting oppressive systems to show us what a world without domination, exploitation and supremacy look like.

These are the narratives we want to unearth, share and amplify throughout this Feminist Realities journey.

Transforming Visions into Lived Experiences

Through this initiative, we:

  • Create and amplify alternatives: We co-create art and creative expressions that center and celebrate the hope, optimism, healing and radical imagination that feminist realities inspire.

  • Build knowledge: We document, demonstrate & disseminate methodologies that will help identify the feminist realities in our diverse communities.

  • Advance feminist agendas: We expand and deepen our collective thinking and organizing to advance just solutions and systems that embody feminist values and visions.

  • Mobilize solidarity actions: We engage feminist, women’s rights and gender justice movements and allies in sharing, exchanging and jointly creating feminist realities, narratives and proposals at the 14th AWID International Forum.


The AWID International Forum

As much as we emphasize the process leading up to, and beyond, the four-day Forum, the event itself is an important part of where the magic happens, thanks to the unique energy and opportunity that comes with bringing people together.

We expect the next Forum to:

  • Build the power of Feminist Realities, by naming, celebrating, amplifying and contributing to build momentum around experiences and propositions that shine light on what is possible and feed our collective imaginations

  • Replenish wells of hope and energy as much needed fuel for rights and justice activism and resilience

  • Strengthen connectivity, reciprocity and solidarity across the diversity of feminist movements and with other rights and justice-oriented movements

We are sorry to announce that the 14th AWID International Forum is cancelled

Given the current world situation, our Board of Directors has taken the difficult decision to cancel Forum scheduled in 2021 in Taipei.

Join the feminist movement reclaiming climate action from corporate capture

With 1,773 fossil fuel lobbyists at last year's COP29, we're heading alongside other feminists to Belém, Brazil for COP30, from 10 November – 21 November 2025, where we will continue to denounce false solutions, call out corporate capture, demand that States uphold their commitments under the Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities and push for feminist economic alternatives.

$2.7 trillion for the military. $300 billion for climate justice. We're here to flip the script.

La Campaña por el Derecho al Aborto «Rompiendo el Silencio» en Irlanda

La Campaña por el Derecho al Aborto «Rompiendo el Silencio» en Irlanda

Abortion Rights Campaign [Campaña por el Derecho al Aborto, ARC] — que aboga por el aborto libre, seguro y legal en Irlanda — se afilió a AWID en mayo de 2015. Se trata de una organización de base, no jerárquica y formada por personal voluntario, que actúa de forma autónoma en su activismo por el derecho a decidir.


ARC trabaja en conjunto con numerosos grupos de justicia social, derechos humanos e igualdad de género en temáticas relacionadas entre sí y que se ven afectadas por el hecho de que desde 1983, cuando se aprobó la octava enmienda a la Constitución irlandesa, el país no ha brindado un apoyo pleno a la salud y los derechos sexuales y reproductivos de las mujeres.

Aunque la ARC se creó recién en enero de 2013, ya trabaja activamente con más de 15 organizaciones de toda Irlanda y también a nivel internacional, entre las que se cuentan Consejos de Mujeres y grupos trans*, de inmigrantes, de simpatizantes, regionales y rurales.

Marcha por el Derecho a Decidir 

En el marco del Día de Acción Global por un Aborto Legal, Seguro y Gratuito, la ARC organizó su Cuarta Marcha Mundial por el Derecho a Decidir, el 26 de septiembre de 2015. La marcha es parte de la misión de ARC que incluye tanto garantizar el acceso al aborto libre, seguro y legal, como cuestionar el ambiente restrictivo, estigmatizado y patriarcal que rodea a la salud y los derechos sexuales y reproductivos en Irlanda.

Cathie Doherty, una de los co-convocantes de ARC afirma: «En Irlanda hay ganas de que se produzca un cambio real, en contra de lo que sostienen el Ministro de Sanidad y del Primer Ministro. Tenemos que acabar con la hipocresía de los viajes al exterior, que obliga a las mujeres que no pueden viajar a continuar con sus embarazos o a incumplir la ley importando píldoras para abortar. Podemos cambiar Irlanda. Podemos tener una sociedad que nos trate como seres humanos valiosos, que lo somos».

En sólo un año (2013 - 2014), la marcha ha crecido de 1.000 a 5.000 participantes, y se informó que 10,000 personas participaron de la marcha de este año.. Las manifestantes llevan maletas con ruedas, como símbolo de los miles de mujeres que se han visto obligadas a viajar para poder abortar. Entre enero de 1980 y diciembre de 2014, al menos 163 514 mujeres y niñas viajaron desde la República de Irlanda para acceder a servicios de aborto seguro en otro país(en inglés)

«Alza la voz» – Romper el silencio y acabar con el estigma

La ARC trabaja en estrecha colaboración con las mujeres que han abortado para que cuenten sus historias, creando un espacio seguro donde las mujeres pueden hablar y ser escuchadas. La acción «Speak Out» [Alza la voz] organizada en 2013 y nuevamente en 2014 facilitó una plataforma a las mujeres para que pudieran hablar sobre sus experiencias de abortos y atención a la salud reproductiva en el extranjero o ilegalmente en Irlanda.

Algunas mujeres compartieron sus historias con la prensa. La actriz y escritora Tara Flynn habló recientemente en público sobre su experiencia a través del periódico The Irish Times, en declaraciones sobre la Marcha por el Derecho a Decidir en la que se dispone a participar: «Es hora de admitir las historias de las mujeres reales — las mujeres que todo el mundo conoce — y los hechos concretos: cientos de miles de mujeres han tenido que viajar y continuarán viajando para obtener la atención médica que necesitan, o han puesto en riesgo su vida. El silencio no nos ha llevado a ninguna parte. Es hora de alzar la voz".

Desmontando mitos a través de las redes sociales

Para la campaña ARC, las redes sociales son una plataforma eficaz para hacer campaña y poner de relieve cuestiones que tienen que ver con la autonomía corporal, de las que no se ocupan los medios de comunicación más tradicionales.

«Nos esforzamos por incorporar el uso de los nuevos medios y las tecnologías en todo nuestro trabajo de incidencia, con el objetivo de involucrar a un público lo más amplio posible», afirmó una portavoz de la ARC.

En 2014, en la semana previa al Día Internacional de las Mujeres, ARC organizó la campaña «8 días, 8 mitos», para acabar con el estigma y las mentiras que rodean al aborto.

En Irlande, le « silence est rompu » : La Campagne pour le droit à l’avortement

En Irlande, le « silence est rompu » : La Campagne pour le droit à l’avortement

Abortion Rights Campaign (ARC – Campagne pour le droit à l’avortement) – qui milite pour que l’avortement devienne gratuit, sûr et légal en Irlande – est membre de l’AWID depuis le mois de mai 2015. Cette organisation de base, non hiérarchique et entièrement composée de bénévoles mène son action en faveur de l’avortement en toute indépendance.


Elle collabore avec de nombreux groupes de défense de la justice sociale, des droits humains et de l’égalité de genre qui, tous, travaillent sur des thèmes liés à l’incapacité de l’Irlande à garantir pleinement la santé et les droits sexuels et reproductifs (SDSR) des femmes, notamment depuis l’adoption en 1983 du 8e amendement de la Constitution irlandaise. L’ARC n’existe que depuis janvier 2013, mais elle collabore déjà activement avec plus de 15 organisations basées dans toute l’Irlande ou d’envergure internationale, parmi lesquelles des conseils de femmes, des groupes de défense des droits des personnes transgenres, des migrant-e-s, des gens du voyage mais aussi des organisations régionales / rurales.

Marcher pour le droit de choisir

Dans le cadre de la Journée mondiale d’action pour l’accès à l’avortement sûr et légal, l’ARC a organisé sa 4e Marche annuelle pour l’avortement (site en anglais) le 26 septembre. Cette marche est une partie intégrante de la mission de l’ARC, une mission qui consiste d’une part à lutter pour que les femmes puissent avorter légalement, gratuitement et en toute sécurité et, d’autre part, à remettre en cause le contexte restrictif, stigmatisant et patriarcal dans lequel la SDSR est mise en œuvre en Irlande.

Selon Cathie Doherty, l’une des co-organisatrices de l’ARC, « l’Irlande aspire actuellement à un vrai changement, contrairement à ce que prétendent le ministre de la Santé et le Premier ministre. Nous devons cesser de prétendre que les femmes irlandaises ne vont pas à l’étranger pour avorter. Cette hypocrisie contraint les femmes qui ne peuvent pas adopter cette solution à mener à leur terme des grossesses non désirées ou à importer illégalement des pilules abortives. Nous pouvons faire évoluer l’Irlande. Nous pouvons également vivre dans une société qui nous traite comme les êtres humains estimables que nous sommes.»

En un an tout juste (entre 2013 et 2014), le nombre de participant-e-s à la marche est passé de 1 000 à 5 000. Ce sont 10 000 participant-e-s qui ont été comptabilisés à la marche de cette année. Les manifestant-e-s sont venu-e-s avec des valises à roulettes pour symboliser l’obligation faite aux femmes d’aller avorter hors du pays. Entre janvier 1980 et décembre 2014, au moins 163 514 femmes et jeunes filles ont dû quitter le territoire irlandais pour bénéficier de services médicalisés d’interruption de grossesse à l’étranger (site en anglais). 

Prendre la parole pour rompre le silence et mettre fin à la stigmatisation

L’ARC collabore étroitement avec de nombreuses femmes qui ont avorté, et ce dans le but de faire connaître leur histoire. Elle met à leur disposition un espace sûr au sein duquel elles peuvent parler et être écoutées. Des séances de prise de parole (« Speak-out ») ont été organisées en 2013 puis en 2014, dans le but d’offrir à ces femmes la possibilité de parler de l’avortement ou des soins de médecine procréative dont elles ont pu bénéficier à l’étranger ou, illégalement, en Irlande.

Certaines des participantes ont confié leur témoignage à des journalistes. L’écrivaine et comédienne Tara Flynn a récemment évoqué sa propre expérience dans un article de l’Irish Times (site en anglais). Elle a notamment affirmé qu’elle participerait à la Marche pour le droit de choisir, poursuivant en ces termes : « il est temps de reconnaître le vécu réel de toutes ces femmes – que nous connaissons – et d’admettre les faits tels qu’ils sont : des centaines de milliers de femmes ont été contraintes de prendre des risques ou d’aller à l’étranger pour recevoir les soins de santé dont elles avaient besoin. Le silence ne nous a mené à rien. Il est temps de parler. »

Mettre à bas les mythes grâce aux médias sociaux

L’ARC considère les médias sociaux comme une plateforme efficace pour mener son action et mettre en lumière les questions relatives à l’autonomie corporelle, un sujet que les médias traditionnels n’abordent généralement pas.

« Pour atteindre le public le plus large possible, nous [l’ARC] nous efforçons d’intégrer l’utilisation des nouveaux médias et des nouvelles technologies à tous les niveaux de notre travail de plaidoyer. »

En préparation de la Journée internationale des femmes 2014, l’ARC a mené la campagne « 8 days, 8 myths » (« 8 jours, 8 mythes »), dans le but de saper les fondements de la stigmatisation et des préjugés dont sont victimes les femmes qui avortent.

The Abortion Rights Campaign "Breaking the Silence" in Ireland

The Abortion Rights Campaign "Breaking the Silence" in Ireland

The Abortion Rights Campaign (ARC) - advocating for free, safe, and legal abortion in Ireland - has been an AWID member since May 2015. It is a grassroots, non-hierarchical, all-volunteer organization and is autonomous in its pro-choice activism.


ARC partners with numerous social justice, human rights and gender equality groups working on issues that intersect with and are impacted by Ireland’s failure to support full sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHRs) for women since the 1983 8th Amendment of the Irish Constitution.

Although ARC only formed in January 2013, it currently actively partners with over 15 organizations throughout Ireland and internationally including the women’s councils, transgender, immigrant, traveler and regional/rural groups.

Marching for Choice

As part of this year's Global Day of Action for Access to Safe and Legal Abortion, ARC held its 4th Annual March for Choice on 26 September 2015

The march is part of ARC’s wider mission to secure access to free, safe, and legal abortion, while challenging the restrictive, stigmatized, and patriarchal environment surrounding SRHRs in Ireland.

Cathie Doherty, one of the co-conveners of ARC tells us, “There is an appetite in Ireland for real change, contrary to the statement from the Minister for Health and the Taoiseach. We need to end the hypocrisy of travel and the hypocrisy which forces women who cannot travel to carry pregnancies or to break the law by importing the abortion pill. We can change Ireland. We can have a society which treats us as the valuable human beings that we are.”

In just one year (2013 – 2014), the march grew from 1,000 to 5,000 participants, and there were a reported 10,000 participants at this year's march. Marchers have brought wheelie suitcases to symbolize the thousands of women who have been forced to seek abortion elsewhere. Between January 1980 and December 2014, at least 163,514 women and girls travelled from the Republic of Ireland to access safe abortion services in another country.

Speaking out – Breaking Silence and Stigma

ARC works closely with women who have had abortions to tell their stories. They create a safe space where women can speak and be listened to. Ireland’s ‘Speak-Out’ organized in 2013 and again in 2014 gave a platform to women to talk about their abortions and reproductive health experiences abroad or illegally in Ireland. Some women have shared their stories with the press.

The Comedian and writer Tara Flynn recently spoke publicly about her experience in the Irish Times and said about the March for Choice that she will also MC for, “It’s time to acknowledge real women’s stories – women we all know – and actual facts: hundreds of thousands of women have had to travel and will continue to travel for healthcare they need, or put themselves at risk. Silence has got us nowhere. It’s time to talk.”

Dismantling Myths Through Social Media

For ARC, social media is an effective platform to campaign for and highlight bodily autonomy issues which often more traditional media fail to engage with.

“We strive to incorporate the use of new media and technologies into all of our advocacy work, with the aim of engaging as wide an audience as possible,” ARC said.

Ahead of International Women's Day in 2014, ARC ran the '8 days, 8 myths' campaign, dismantling the stigma and falsehoods surrounding abortion.

Féministe avec la vision, le courage et l’engagement

Rama est une jeune chercheuse et écrivaine féministe sénégalaise. Sa première nouvelle, La dernière lettre, a été publiée dans Présence Africaine en 2008, alors qu’elle était âgée d’une vingtaine d’années.

Un an plus tard, elle a été sélectionnée pour - participer à l’Initiative Moremi pour le leadership des femmes en Afrique, MILEAD (site en anglais). La bourse d’études est décernée à 25 jeunes femmes africaines avec la vision, le courage et l’engagement nécessaires pour inspirer et mener des changements dans leurs communautés.

"Devenir soi-même et s’assumer pleinement n’est pas simple, mais c’est la plus importante de toutes les réussites. J’ai méthodiquement appris à désapprendre et réapprendre, à déconstruire et reconstruire tout ce qu’on m’avait appris sur la manière dont les femmes doivent se comporter en société..."

Munie de la bourse Ibrahim Governance and Development 2015, Rama est sur le point de commencer ses études doctorales en développement à l’École des études orientales et africaines de l’Université de Londres. Elle est titulaire d’une maîtrise en développement international, spécialisée en développement économique africain et en questions de genre, et d’un Master en coopération internationale et en développement de l’IEP de Bordeaux, en France.

Rama est conseillère auprès de FRIDA | le Fonds pour les jeunes féministes et membre de l’équipe ’Politiques Economiques et Mondialisation’ du réseau DAWN, Development Alternatives with Women for a new Era (Pour une nouvelle ère d’alternatives de développement avec les femmes, site en anglais). Au cours des années antérieures, elle a travaillé comme assistante-chercheuse à la Commission économique pour l’Afrique des Nations Unies (IDEP), et a collaboré brièvement avec le secteur caritatif en France et dans les bureaux du PNUD situés à l’Ile Maurice.

"Pour réaliser mon moi véritable, j’ai appris que prendre soin de moi et réaliser mes rêves était plus important que toutes ces étiquettes que la société nous colle et qui ne me définissent même pas..."

En 2013, Rama a participé à un ouvrage collectif du Réseau des jeunes chercheurs-euses africain-ne-s sur la démocratie et le développement en Afrique et a également été chroniqueuse pour Nouvel Horizon Sénégal.

"Pour moi, être féministe c’est accepter de questionner tout ce qui est établi par la société pour définir ce que je devrais être, ce que je 'devrais vouloir', car devoir et vouloir sont antinomiques. Le verbe vouloir est puissant lorsqu’il est libéré du 'devrait' ou 'ne devrait pas'. Soyez vous-mêmes, un point c’est tout. "

Feminist with vision, courage and commitment

Feminist with vision, courage and commitment

Rama is a young Senegalese feminist, researcher and writer. In her early twenties, she wrote her first novel La dernière lettre, published by Présence Africaine in 2008. A year later she was selected as a MILEAD fellow of the Moremi initiative for Women’s Leadership in Africa. The fellowship is awarded to 25 young African women with extraordinary vision, courage and commitment to lead change in their communities.

"Becoming one's full and unapologetic self is a difficult but the most important of all achievements. I have methodically learned to un-learn and re-learn, to de-construct and re-construct all that I have been taught about how women should socialise..." 

As the 2015 Ibrahim Governance and Development PhD scholar, Rama is about to begin her doctoral studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. She already holds an MSc in International Development specializing in African Economic Development and Gender and a Masters’ degree in International Cooperation and Development from the Bordeaux Institute of Political Studies, France.

Rama is an Advisor of FRIDA | The Young Feminist Fund and a member of the Political Economy and Globalisation Team of Development Alternatives with Women for a new Era (DAWN). In previous years, she worked as a Research Assistant at the United Nations African Institute for Economic Development and Planning (IDEP), briefly in the charity sector in France and at the UNDP country office of Mauritius.

"To become my true self, I have learned that my self-care and achievement of my dreams were more important than societal labels that do not even define me..."

In 2013, Rama contributed to a collective book by the Network of young African Researchers on Democracy and Development in Africa and has also been a columnist for Nouvel Horizon Senegal.

"To me being a feminist is accepting that I will have to question everything established by society to define who I should be or what I ‘should want’ because ‘should and want’ are antithetical. Wanting is powerful when liberated from the ‘should’ or ‘should not’. Be You. Period."

Rama spoke on behalf of the Women's Working Group on Financing for Development, at the 2nd Plenary Meeting of the 3rd International Conference on Financing for Development, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 2015.
