AWID Forum: Co-creating Feminist Futures

In September 2016, the 13th AWID international Forum brought together in Brazil over 1800 feminists and women’s rights advocates in a spirit of resistance and resilience.

This section highlights the gains, learnings and resources that came out of our rich conversations. We invite you to explore, share and comment!


What has happened since 2016?

One of the key takeaways from the 2016 Forum was the need to broaden and deepen our cross-movement work to address rising fascisms, fundamentalisms, corporate greed and climate change.

With this in mind, we have been working with multiple allies to grow these seeds of resistance:

And through our next strategic plan and Forum process, we are committed to keep developing ideas and deepen the learnings ignited at the 2016 Forum.

What happens now?

The world is a much different place than it was a year ago, and it will continue to change.

The next AWID Forum will take place in the Asia Pacific region (exact location and dates to be announced in 2018).

We look forward to you joining us!

About the AWID Forum

AWID Forums started in 1983, in Washington DC. Since then, the event has grown to become many things to many peoples: an iterative process of sharpening our analyses, vision and actions; a watershed moment that reinvigorates participants’ feminisms and energizes their organizing; and a political home for women human rights defenders to find sanctuary and solidarity.

Feminist Art Walk

As part of our commitment to engage more deeply with artists and the practice of co-creating Feminist Realities, AWID collaborated with an Artist Working Group to advance and strengthen feminist agendas and realities in their communities and movements through their creative expression. Our intention here is to bring feminist creatives together in a powerful and brave space where they grow and live freely, and where they shatter toxic narratives to replace them with transformative alternatives.

Snippet “Gender Ideology” Narratives (ES)

 Narrativas sobre la «Ideología de género»

Durante décadas, lxs investigadorxs y activistas feministas han articulado conceptos importantes en relación al género para entender y cuestionar la opresión y la discriminación. Ahora, esos conceptos se han convertido en el blanco de los actores anti-derechos, quienes afirman que los roles de género patriarcales y opresivos son de «sentido común» y, estratégicamente, presentan a todas las otras ideas, normas culturales y formas de vida social como una peligrosa ideología conspirativa.

Snippet FEA Intro (FR)

Venez découvrir les économies féministes que nous ADORONS.

Quand nous parlons d'économie, nous parlons de comment nous organisons nos sociétés, nos foyers et nos lieux de travail. Comment vivons-nous ensemble? Comment est-ce que nous produisons la nourriture, organisons les soins, ou assurons notre santé et celle de nos communautés? L'économie concerne également la manière dont nous accédons et gérons les ressources, et nos relations avec les autres, avec nous-mêmes et avec la Nature.

Les féministes ont construit des alternatives économiques aux systèmes capitalistes d'exploitation depuis des lustres. Ces alternatives existent ici et maintenant, et elles sont les piliers des mondes plus justes et plus durables dont nous avons tant besoin et que nous méritons.

Nous sommes ravi·es de vous présenter certaines de ces alternatives économiques féministes et les collectifs à travers le monde qui nous inspirent.
