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.

Primer Diálogo de Alto Nivel sobre la Financiación para el Desarrollo, 29 y 30 de octubre de 2003
Uno de los mecanismos de seguimiento de la Conferencia de Monterrey fueron los Diálogos de Alto Nivel sobre la Financiación para el Desarrollo organizados cada dos años por la Asamblea General de la ONU. En total, ya se realizaron ocho mesas redondas en las que se ha continuado el Diálogo acerca de distintos temas como los subsidios a la agricultura, el comercio, el alivio de la deuda y la financiación para los ODM. En todas ellas se prestó especial atención a los obstáculos estructurales que colocan en desventaja a las naciones ‘en desarrollo’.
