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.

AWID為何選擇台北作為此次國際論壇的舉辦地點呢？
我們認為在亞太區域，台北最能讓我們為全球女性主義社群打造一個安全又可「造反」的空間。
即將召開的論壇與會者多元，台北提供了相當穩定與安全的環境。同時也具備穩健的勤務服務能力，方便許多旅客來往（提供國際論壇與會者便利的電子簽證流程）
當地的女性主義運動社群也歡迎論壇到來並積極與全球女性主義者串連。

Snippet FEA Introducing Carmen Silva Ferreira (FR)
Nous avons l’énorme plaisir de vous présenter Carmen Silva Ferreira.
Née à Bahia, dans le nord-est du Brésil, Carmen est une immigrante, militante sociale et mère de 8 enfants.
Carmen a connu l'itinérance à l'âge de 35 ans, après avoir émigré seule à São Paulo. Cela l'a amenée à devenir une ardente défenseuse des communautés vulnérables, marginalisées et invisibles les plus touchées par la crise du logement. Elle est finalement devenue l'une des fondatrices de MSTC en 2000.
En tant qu'organisatrice politique visionnaire et actuelle dirigeante du MSTC, le travail de Carmen a révélé la crise du logement de la ville de São Paulo et inspiré d'autres personnes sur différentes façons d'organiser et de gérer les occupations.
Carmen a été fermement à l'avant-garde de diverses occupations. L'une d'elles est l’Ocupação 9 de Julho, qui sert désormais de scène à la démocratie directe et d'espace où chacun·e peut être soigné·e, entendu·e, apprécié·e et travailler ensemble.
Carmen a longtemps été célébrée pour son audace à redonner vie à des bâtiments abandonnés au cœur de São Paulo.
Pour en savoir plus sur sa vie, vous pouvez la suivre sur Instagram!
