Protection of the Family
The Issue
Over the past few years, a troubling new trend at the international human rights level is being observed, where discourses on ‘protecting the family’ are being employed to defend violations committed against family members, to bolster and justify impunity, and to restrict equal rights within and to family life.
The campaign to "Protect the Family" is driven by ultra-conservative efforts to impose "traditional" and patriarchal interpretations of the family, and to move rights out of the hands of family members and into the institution of ‘the family’.
“Protection of the Family” efforts stem from:
- rising traditionalism,
- rising cultural, social and religious conservatism and
- sentiment hostile to women’s human rights, sexual rights, child rights and the rights of persons with non-normative gender identities and sexual orientations.
Since 2014, a group of states have been operating as a bloc in human rights spaces under the name “Group of Friends of the Family”, and resolutions on “Protection of the Family” have been successfully passed every year since 2014.
This agenda has spread beyond the Human Rights Council. We have seen regressive language on “the family” being introduced at the Commission on the Status of Women, and attempts made to introduce it in negotiations on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Our Approach
AWID works with partners and allies to jointly resist “Protection of the Family” and other regressive agendas, and to uphold the universality of human rights.
In response to the increased influence of regressive actors in human rights spaces, AWID joined allies to form the Observatory on the Universality of Rights (OURs). OURs is a collaborative project that monitors, analyzes, and shares information on anti-rights initiatives like “Protection of the Family”.
Rights at Risk, the first OURs report, charts a map of the actors making up the global anti-rights lobby, identifies their key discourses and strategies, and the effect they are having on our human rights.
The report outlines “Protection of the Family” as an agenda that has fostered collaboration across a broad range of regressive actors at the UN. It describes it as: “a strategic framework that houses “multiple patriarchal and anti-rights positions, where the framework, in turn, aims to justify and institutionalize these positions.”

Les discours sur l’ « Idéologie du Genre » :
Pendant des décennies, les universitaires et défenseur·euse·s féministes ont développé d’importantes notions liées au genre afin de comprendre et combattre l’oppression et la discrimination. Ces notions sont maintenant devenues la cible d’acteur·ice·s antidroits qui prétendent que les rôles de genre patriarcaux oppressifs relèvent du « bon sens », peignant stratégiquement toutes les autres idées, normes culturelles et formes de vie sociale comme une idéologie dangereuse et conspirationniste.

ECONOMY
Feminists Centering Care in the Economy:
A Cross-Movement Dialogue
What if we reimagined ways of caring for our communities?
What if the economy was not about someone else’s profit but about care for our individual and collective wellbeing? These stories are about building communities of care with and for people who are historically and presently excluded, disenfranchised and dehumanized by both state and society. These are the stories of feminists centering care in the economy.

(نظرًا لأننا نقدم الطلب قبل عام تقريبًا من الحدث الفعلي.)
نعم! يطلب النموذج حاليًا إدراج مقدمي/ات المقترح حتى لو لم يتم تأكيدهم/ن بعد. نحن ندرك أنه من المحتمل أن تحدث التغييرات في غضون عام.
AWID為何決定將論壇舉辦地點從峇里島移師到台北呢？
自2019年年末在印尼發生的一連串事件中，我們觀察到了當地軍事緊張與對同志權益的反彈跡象，AWID希望多元的與會者能在論壇齊聚一堂，但這讓我們自問是否能為與會者維持合理安全和讓人感到被歡迎的環境。
經過仔細商討後，AWID董事會在2019年11月決定將第十四屆AWID國際論壇的舉辦地點由峇里島改至台北。
台北擁有穩健的勤務服務能力，對旅客友善（針對國際論壇參與者提供便利的電子簽證流程）。

แล้วความยุติธรรมด้านสภาพอากาศละ นี่เป็นเวลาที่เหมาะสำหรับเที่ยวบินระหว่างประเทศจำนวนมากจริงหรือ?
เมื่อ AWID ถามตัวเองด้วยคำถามเดียวกัน เราเชื่อว่าไม่มีคำตอบง่ายๆสำหรับเรื่องนี้ สำหรับผู้เข้าร่วมจำนวนมาก AWID ฟอรัม อาจเป็นหนึ่งในการเดินทางระหว่างประเทศไม่กี่ทริปที่พวกเขาเคยทำในชีวิต การระบาของโรคโควิด19ได้ให้บทเรียนเราถึงความเป็นไปได้ต่างๆในการพบเจอกันรูปแบบอื่นๆที่ไม่ใช่ทางกายภาพ แต่ก็ให้บทเรียนเราถึงข้อจำกัดของพื้นที่เสมือนจริงสำหรับการสร้างการขบวนการด้วย ไม่มีรูปแบบใดที่เหมือนกับการเชื่อมต่อแบบตัวต่อตัว ขบวนการจำเป็นต้องมีการเชื่อมโยงข้ามพรมแดนเพื่อสร้างพลังร่วมในการเผชิญกับภัยคุกคามที่เรากำลังเผชิญหน้าอยู่ โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งวิกฤตสภาพภูมิอากาศ เราเชื่อว่า AWID ฟอรัม ที่กำลังจะมาถึงสามารถเป็นพื้นที่เชิงกลยุทธ์ในการก่อให้เกิดพื้นที่สำหรับการสนทนาเหล่านี้ และทำให้เราได้สำรวจทางเลือกอื่นนอกเหนือจากการเดินทางระหว่างประเทศ การประชุมแบบผสม(ออนไลน์และกายภาพ)ของฟอรัมเป็นส่วนสำคัญของการสำรวจนี้
