Coming Out at the Highest Point in My Life: The Black Feminisms Forum

Cover image for Coming Out at the Highest Point in My Life: The Black Feminisms Forum

 

 

Many participants experience the AWID Forums as a unique space of freedom where they are embraced and celebrated as they are. In a world where even the most privileged feminists often find themselves not fully fitting in, for those whose identities are criminalized or otherwise condemned in their everyday contexts this experience of freedom and celebration can be deeply transformative (and restorative). The story of how OluTimehin Kukoyi – a first time participant – experienced the Black Feminist Forum (BFF) and the AWID Forum in Bahia (2016) powerfully illustrates this.

DATA SNAPSHOTS

Where is the money for feminist organizing?

1,174 feminist, women's rights & LGBTQI+ organizations 
from 129 countries participated in AWID's 2024 survey.

The data reveals the state of resourcing for feminist movements between 2021-2023, amid current major defunding trends in aid and philanthropy.

Our collective power knows no boundaries, but our bank accounts do.
