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.
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 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
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.

Je vais être honnête : lorsque Angélica et Fabi m’ont proposé de créer une collection de textes érotiques écrits par des femmes noires, j’ignorais ce que c’était que de produire un recueil. Je maîtrisais le thème de l’érotisme, mais créer un recueil…
Ce calendrier est un cadeau que nous vous faisons à vous et aux 8 000 membres de notre communauté féministe mondiale. C’est notre promesse de moments d’activisme et de connexion pour l’année à venir. Ces derniers mois ont porté leur lot d’injustices indescriptibles. Cette année encore, continuons à cultiver la puissance du collectif, à établir des stratégies et à trouver des solutions porteuses d’espoir. Pour un monde plus juste pour toustes.
En feuilletant les pages de ce calendrier, vous remarquerez la diversité des œuvres de nos membres artistes, qui se servent de leur travail pour amplifier et relier nos différents mouvements sous le parapluie féministe. Vous retrouvez-vous dans ces pages ? Y retrouvez-vous votre mouvement, vos communautés ? Nous vous encourageons à utiliser ce calendrier utile pour marquer le temps, l’espace, mais aussi pour inscrire les possibilités d’établir des connexions avec les féministes et les activistes.
Les hôpitaux sont des institutions, des sites vivants du capitalisme, et ce qui se joue lorsque quelqu’un est censé se reposer est un microcosme du système lui-même.
Across the globe, feminist, women’s rights and gender justice defenders are challenging the agendas of fascist and fundamentalist actors. These oppressive forces target women, persons who are non-conforming in their gender identity, expression and/or sexual orientation, and other oppressed communities.
Discriminatory ideologies are undermining and co-opting our human rights systems and standards, with the aim of making rights the preserve of only certain groups. In the face of this, the Advancing Universal Rights and Justice (AURJ) initiative promotes the universality of rights - the foundational principle that human rights belong to everyone, no matter who they are, without exception.
We create space for feminist, women’s rights and gender justice movements and allies to recognize, strategize and take collective action to counter the influence and impact of anti-rights actors. We also seek to advance women’s rights and feminist frameworks, norms and proposals, and to protect and promote the universality of rights.
In order to achieve our mission, AWID works through multi-year interconnected programs which encompass a variety of strategies including knowledge production and dissemination, action-research, advocacy, alliance building, and convening strategic dialogues.
Our 2011 Annual Report provides key highlights of our work during the year to contribute to the advancement of women’s rights and gender equality worldwide.
