Young Feminist Activism
Organizing creatively, facing an increasing threat
Young feminist activists play a critical role in women’s rights organizations and movements worldwide by bringing up new issues that feminists face today. Their strength, creativity and adaptability are vital to the sustainability of feminist organizing.
At the same time, they face specific impediments to their activism such as limited access to funding and support, lack of capacity-building opportunities, and a significant increase of attacks on young women human rights defenders. This creates a lack of visibility that makes more difficult their inclusion and effective participation within women’s rights movements.
A multigenerational approach
AWID’s young feminist activism program was created to make sure the voices of young women are heard and reflected in feminist discourse. We want to ensure that young feminists have better access to funding, capacity-building opportunities and international processes. In addition to supporting young feminists directly, we are also working with women’s rights activists of all ages on practical models and strategies for effective multigenerational organizing.
Our Actions
We want young feminist activists to play a role in decision-making affecting their rights by:
-
Fostering community and sharing information through the Young Feminist Wire. Recognizing the importance of online media for the work of young feminists, our team launched the Young Feminist Wire in May 2010 to share information, build capacity through online webinars and e-discussions, and encourage community building.
-
Researching and building knowledge on young feminist activism, to increase the visibility and impact of young feminist activism within and across women’s rights movements and other key actors such as donors.
-
Promoting more effective multigenerational organizing, exploring better ways to work together.
-
Supporting young feminists to engage in global development processes such as those within the United Nations
-
Collaboration across all of AWID’s priority areas, including the Forum, to ensure young feminists’ key contributions, perspectives, needs and activism are reflected in debates, policies and programs affecting them.

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!

Snippet - WITM survey is focused on - EN
The WITM survey is focused on the feminist resourcing realities of the last 3 years (2021 to 2023), and has five key sections:
- Group information
- Financial status
- Shifting power
- Sustainability
- Key aspirations
It consists of mandatory* and optional questions, most of which are multiple-choice. You will have a chance to share more on issues that are important to you by responding to the open question(s) at the end of the survey.
To respond to the questions quickly and easily, we advise that you have your key financial information at hand (e.g., your annual budgets from 2021 to 2023). However, if you wish to save your responses and come back to the survey later, you are able to do this whenever needed.
