Rejeitamos a cooptação do marco dos direitos humanos, particularmente a noção defendida pela Relatora Especial de que o cumprimento dos direitos das mulheres trans, por um lado, e das mulheres cis, por outro, é ou pode ser conflituoso e incompatível.

The AWID Forum is the world’s largest event that wholeheartedly centers feminist and gender justice movements in all their diversity.

We reject the co-optation of the human rights framework that the fulfillment of the rights of trans women and cis women is or can be conflicting and incompatible.

The Forum was a key space for the Indigenous Women’s Movement (IWM) in its relationship to feminism.

Many participants experience the AWID Forums as a unique space of freedom where they are embraced and celebrated as they are.

Sara Abu Ghazal, Palestinian feminist in Lebanon, tells the story of what the Forums meant for a new generation of feminists in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region that introduced new ways of organising, new understandings of feminism and new issues to the regional women’s rights landscape.
