Memory as Resistance: A Tribute to WHRDs no longer with us
AWID’s Tribute is an art exhibition honouring feminists, women’s rights and social justice activists from around the world who are no longer with us.
In 2020, we are taking a turn
This year’s tribute tells stories and shares narratives about those who co-created feminist realities, have offered visions of alternatives to systems and actors that oppress us, and have proposed new ways of organising, mobilising, fighting, working, living, and learning.
49 new portraits of feminists and Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) are added to the gallery. While many of those we honour have passed away due to old age or illness, too many have been killed as a result of their work and who they are.
This increasing violence (by states, corporations, organized crime, unknown gunmen...) is not only aimed at individual activists but at our joint work and feminist realities.
The stories of activists we honour keep their legacy alive and carry their inspiration forward into our movements’ future work.
The portraits of the 2020 edition are designed by award winning illustrator and animator, Louisa Bertman.
AWID would like to thank the families and organizations who shared their personal stories and contributed to this memorial. We join them in continuing the remarkable work of these activists and WHRDs and forging efforts to ensure justice is achieved in cases that remain in impunity.
“They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds.” - Mexican Proverb
The Tribute was first launched in 2012
It took shape with a physical exhibit of portraits and biographies of feminists and activists who passed away at AWID’s 12th International Forum, in Turkey. It now lives as an online gallery, updated every year.
To date, 467 feminists and WHRDs are featured.

In this selection of films you will find the voices of filmmakers who are not content with simply recording the feminist realities that palpitate in every corner of this vast and diverse territory. These are works that from their very conceptualization are questioning for what, by whom, and how films and videos are made. They understand film to be an instrument of struggle, something more than images to be enjoyed on a screen. These are individual or collective filmmakers who see film and video making as an instrument to promote discussion, open a debate, and thus serve as a resource for popular and feminist pedagogies.

Snippet FEA Intro (ES)
Ven a conocer las economías feministas que AMAMOS.
Cuando hablamos de economía, hablamos de cómo organizamos nuestras sociedades, nuestros hogares y lugares de trabajo. ¿Cómo vivimos juntxs? ¿Cómo producimos alimentos, organizamos los cuidados y aseguramos nuestra salud? La economía también se trata de cómo accedemos y gestionamos recursos, cómo nos relacionamos con otras personas, con nosotrxs mismxs y con la Naturaleza.
Lxs feministas han estado construyendo alternativas económicas a los sistemas capitalistas explotadores durante siglos. Estas alternativas existen en el aquí y el ahora, y son los pilares de los mundos más justos y más sostenibles que necesitamos y merecemos.
Nos emociona compartir contigo una muestra de alternativas económicas feministas, con colectivos inspiradores de todo el mundo.
