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:
- Our Seed Initiatives, has helped 20 ideas that emerged at the Forum to grow into concrete actions
- The video “Defending people and planet” and guide “Weaving resistance through action” put courageous WHRDs in the spotlight and present concrete strategies they use to confront corporate power.
- With our animations about the State of Our Feminist Movements and Climate and Environmental Justice, movements now have creative tools to support their advocacy work.
- The compiling artistic expressions of our #MovementsMatter series continues to inspire stronger and more creative organizing around the world.
- Movements can also benefit from new methodologies on Visioning Feminist Futures (Coming up soon!)
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.

Club de Cine Feminista: Leitis in Waiting & programa de América Latina y Centroamérica
En esta selección de películas encontrarán las voces de realizadoras que no solo se contentan con plasmar las realidades feministas que palpitan en cada rincón de este vasto y diverso territorio sino también trabajos que desde su gestación misma están cuestionando el para qué, quién y cómo se hace cine o audiovisual. Realizadoras o colectivos que entienden al cine como una herramienta de lucha, como algo más que imágenes que se disfrutan en una pantalla, que ven al cine y al audiovisual como instrumentos para potenciar una discusión o abrir un debate; en fin, como un recurso para la pedagogía popular y feminista.

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.
