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.

Kagendo Murungi
Sa famille et ses ami-e-s se souviennent de Kagendo comme d'une activiste, féministe, artiste et cinéaste africaine acharnée
Elle a consacré plus de 20 ans à défendre les droits et la dignité des personnes LGBTIQ d'Afrique et des personnes non conformes du genre. Les collègues de Kagendo se souviennent d'elle comme une personne à la personnalité joviale, à la conviction sans faille et qui aimait la vie. Kagendo est décédée de cause naturelle chez elle à Harlem le 27 décembre 2017.
L'écrivaine et activiste kényane, Shailja Patel, a commenté son décès en ces termes « Tout au long de sa vie, l'engagement de Kagendo à établir des liens entre toutes les formes d’oppressions et à montrer comment le colonialisme a favorisé l'homophobie sur le continent africain, a contribué à rapprocher le Kenya d’un pays où les personnes queer et les femmes indépendantes pourraient vivre et prospérer. »

Avril 2015: des audiences interactives avec le secteur privé et la société civile ont lieu
- Des audiences interactives informelles avec le secteur privé et avec la société civile se sont respectivement tenues les 8 et 9 avril 2015, au siège de l’ONU à New York.
- Les organisations de défense des droits des femmes et d’autres OSC ont souligné la faiblesse de la participation des États membres aux audiences des OSC. Le Groupe de coordination des OSC d’Addis Abeba a donc adressé à ce sujet une lettre aux co-facilitateurs (en anglais).
- La seconde session de rédaction du document final d’Addis Abeba s’est tenue du 13 au 17 avril 2015, au siège de l’ONU. Les discussions se sont appuyées sur la version zéro (en anglais).
- Le WWG sur le FdD a présenté aux États membres ses recommandations sur les différents thèmes du FdD (document en anglais) lors de différentes sessions officielles et manifestations parallèles. Les femmes ont exprimé leurs inquiétudes dans différents domaines clés. Elles ont notamment déploré le fait que la version zéro ne souligne qu’insuffisamment les conséquences négatives graves des crises financières, provoquées par l’instabilité des systèmes financiers internationaux, sur le développement, l’égalité et les droits humains, et en particulier sur les droits humains des femmes.
