เมื่อ AWID ถามตัวเองด้วยคำถามเดียวกัน เราเชื่อว่าไม่มีคำตอบง่ายๆสำหรับเรื่องนี้ สำหรับผู้เข้าร่วมจำนวนมาก AWID ฟอรัม อาจเป็นหนึ่งในการเดินทางระหว่างประเทศไม่กี่ทริปที่พวกเขาเคยทำในชีวิต การระบาของโรคโควิด19ได้ให้บทเรียนเราถึงความเป็นไปได้ต่างๆในการพบเจอกันรูปแบบอื่นๆที่ไม่ใช่ทางกายภาพ แต่ก็ให้บทเรียนเราถึงข้อจำกัดของพื้นที่เสมือนจริงสำหรับการสร้างการขบวนการด้วย ไม่มีรูปแบบใดที่เหมือนกับการเชื่อมต่อแบบตัวต่อตัว ขบวนการจำเป็นต้องมีการเชื่อมโยงข้ามพรมแดนเพื่อสร้างพลังร่วมในการเผชิญกับภัยคุกคามที่เรากำลังเผชิญหน้าอยู่ โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งวิกฤตสภาพภูมิอากาศ เราเชื่อว่า AWID ฟอรัม ที่กำลังจะมาถึงสามารถเป็นพื้นที่เชิงกลยุทธ์ในการก่อให้เกิดพื้นที่สำหรับการสนทนาเหล่านี้ และทำให้เราได้สำรวจทางเลือกอื่นนอกเหนือจากการเดินทางระหว่างประเทศ การประชุมแบบผสม(ออนไลน์และกายภาพ)ของฟอรัมเป็นส่วนสำคัญของการสำรวจนี้

The in-focus section features the pressing issues affecting women, girls and transgender people around the world, and shines a spotlight on the critical work being carried out by women's rights movements. 

AWID and Mama Cash are advisory partners who offer ideas to the Guardian editorial team and help link the Guardian team with diverse women’s rights advocates, organizations and movements around the world.

With the Guardian’s global reach of over 82 million unique browsers a month and its position of influence with policy makers, AWID and Mama Cash see this partnership as an important opportunity to:

• bring a rights based analysis to a broad and powerful audience
• increase the visibility of diverse women’s rights organizing and make the case for the key role they play in advancing women’s rights
• raise the visibility of women human rights defenders at risk
• influence key global development policy processes and debates and support more diverse voices to frame debates and set priorities about women’s, girls and transgender people’s rights and the changes that are needed at global, regional and national levels.

If you would like to share suggestions for women’s rights issues, strategies, process or events that you would like to see covered by the in-focus section, you can pitch your ideas here. All suggestions collected through this online form will be shared directly with the Guardian editorial team.The Guardian is solely responsible for all journalistic output and all editorial content is strictly independent.

To build feminist-realities centered evidence on how money moves and who it is reaching

Student, Writer, Leader, Advocate. Each of the four women honored below had their own way of activism but what they had in common is that they all promoted and defended Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer and Intersex rights. Join us in remembering and honoring these Women Human Rights Defenders, their work and legacy by sharing the memes below and tweeting by using the hashtags #WHRDTribute and #16Days.

The key objective of the WITM survey is to shine light on the financial status of diverse feminist, women’s rights, gender justice, LBTQI+ and allied movements globally. Based on this, we hope to further strengthen the case for moving more and better money, as well as shift power, to feminist movements.

Interviews produce in-depth information that you cannot easily obtain from surveys. While surveys focuses mainly on quantifiable data and closed questions, interviews allow for expert opinions from activists and donors, and open-ended questions which can provide context to survey data results.

General tips

1. Before conducting your interviews

Send the interviewees a concept note with your objectives for the interview and for your overall research, as well as a list of questions.

This allows them to prepare answers for more complicated questions and look up information that they may not have immediately on hand.

2. During the interviews

• You can conduct interviews while your survey is running, in order to save time.
• Try to keep your interviews as consistent as possible in order to facilitate systematic analysis of results. This means asking the same questions. Coding identical responses to each question will allow you to uncover hidden trends.
• The interviews can also be used to flesh out some of the survey findings

Do not base your questions on assumptions about your interviewees’ knowledge.
Instead, first clarify what they know – this will reveal information as well.

• DON’T: “Given the current funding trends in Switzerland, do you know of any opportunities for collaboration? This question assumes that the interviewee knows current funding trends and that their understanding of funding trends matches yours.
• DO: First ask “What is your understanding of current funding trends in Switzerland?”, followed by “Do you know of any opportunities for collaboration?” This will reveal what their understanding is, giving you even more information than the first question.

Specialized interviews

1. Donor interviews

Interviews with donors will allow you to build deeper relationships with them, which will be useful when you conduct post-research advocacy. They will also provide you with deeper insight into funders’ decision-making processes.

Suggested topics of focus for donor interviews:

• What are their funding priorities? Why and how did they select those priorities? For example, why do they choose project-funding over core support or vice versa?
• What are annual amounts allocated to the advancement of women’s human rights? This will strengthen overall reliability of data collected.
• Have they noticed any funding trends, and what do they believe are the origins and politics behind these trends?
• What is their theory of social change and how does that impact their relationships with women’s rights organizations?

2. Women’s rights organizations and activists interviews

Interviews with women’s rights organizations and activists will provide you with insight into their on-the-ground realities. Again, these interviews will allow you to build deeper relationships that can be incorporated into your advocacy, particularly to encourage collaboration between donors and activists.

Suggested topics of focus for women’s rights organizations and activist interviews:

• Long-term funding priority trends noted by women’s organizations and their impact.
• Successful examples of feminist and collaborative resource mobilization strategies that build strong and complementary movements.
• “Making the case” for why it is important to support women’s organizations and organizing.
• How different actors understand the social change process and their role in advancing/achieving gender equality and women’s rights.

Preliminary findings

Through the course of your WITM research, we recommend analyzing your preliminary findings. Presenting your preliminary findings opens up opportunities to conduct more interviews and get feedback on your research process and initial results. This feedback can be incorporated into your final research.

AWID conducts “WITM convenings” to share preliminary results of survey data and interviews. These gatherings allow participants (activists, women’s rights organizations, and donors) to debate and discuss the results, clarifying the context, creating more ownership amongst members of the movement, and providing more input for final research.

For example, the Resource Mobilization Hub for Indigenous Women’s Rights at the World Summit on Indigenous Philanthropy was used as a space to debut preliminary results.
