Nuestros pensamientos acompañan a las numerosas personas de todo el mundo que se ven más afectadas por las repercusiones de la pandemia global del COVID-19, en especial, en las comunidades marginalizadas que han sido oprimidas históricamente.

Esta es una invitación destinada a artistas y activistas creativxs que quieran reunirse en un espacio virtual para conectarse, construir comunidad y apoyarse mutuamente en estos tiempos difíciles. Con este objetivo, hemos creado una comunidad de Slack nueva, para compartir en forma segura pensamientos, aprendizajes, trucos de vida, recursos, consejos, temores y ansiedades, recordatorios esperanzadores y alegres, y para charlar en general sobre cómo estamos.

Únete a nosotros en Slack

Después de completar el formulario, le enviaremos una invitación personal a la comunidad.

Sobre esta comunidad:

Para quienes Slack es una herramienta nueva, y después de que se inscriban, les daremos sesiones y materiales de orientación.

Dado que aquí estamos trabajando en tres idiomas (inglés, español y francés), te pedimos que escribas en el idioma que te resulte más cómodo y utilices herramientas de traducción en línea (Google Translate u otras) para participar de las conversaciones.

Crear conjuntamente espacios amigables y seguros:

Lee la Pautas comunitarias 

La creación conjunta de nuestras realidades feministas comienza con nosotrxs mismxs y con cómo nos tratamos mutuamente. Nos esforzamos por crear y proteger espacios seguros para nuestras comunidades, tanto en línea como en forma presencial. También creemos que los espacios seguros y amigables son de propiedad y creación conjuntas. Esperamos que nuestrxs integrantes actúen de manera ética, responsable y consistente con los valores de AWID, y asuman la responsabilidad colectiva de garantizar una atmósfera de respeto y solidaridad recíprocos.

Disparadores semanales: 

Como parte de nuestras conversaciones en curso, en Slack ofreceremos disparadores semanales, para facilitar el diálogo e inspirar los procesos artísticos en forma amable. Este puede ser un proceso introspectivo, pero para aprovechar al máximo esta comunidad, lxs invitamos a interactuar con lxs demás integrantes y compartir ideas, como parte de nuestras discusiones . La intención es invitar a la gente a responder de manera libre y gradual, escribiendo o produciendo arte como mejor lo sientan.

Esperamos mantener conversaciones relevantes y oportunas con ustedes, y, por lo tanto, apreciaremos tus sugerencias y comentarios. En general, los temas estarán centrados en las experiencias y perspectivas de artistas, escritorxs y creadorxs,que generarán un espacio donde lxs integrantes puedan describir e imaginar el clima global actual (y el que vendrá) a través de la lente de las realidades feministas.

Kunyit asam: Las raíces del amor y la resiliencia

por Prinka Saraswati

El ciclo menstrual habitualmente abarca entre 27 y 30 días. En ese lapso, el período en sí dura de 5 a 7 días. La fatiga, los cambios de humor y los espasmos son el resultado de la inflamación durante la menstruación.

Muchas cosas hermosas surgieron del Foro de Feminismos Negros (BFF) de 2016, organizado por un Grupo Asesor y financiado por AWID. Parte del activismo independiente que surgió del BFF incluye al activismo feminista negro de Brasil. Si bien este año no tendremos otro BFF, seguimos comprometidxs a compartir algunas de las enseñanzas fundamentales con cualquier persona interesada en continuar el trabajo sobre el activismo feminista negro.

In a context like Colombia’s, the work of imagining, dreaming and even creating processes of transformation so we can live in worlds that are decent, just, careful, and affectionate is worthy of admiration. It is an attack on life itself. Not just on the life of one official, but an attack on the soul, on the spirit of an entire people who feels frustrated.

In a context like Colombia’s, the work of imagining, dreaming and even creating processes of transformation so we can live in worlds that are decent, just, careful, and affectionate is worthy of admiration. This is an emboldened paragraph.

We are thinking of them and of all the women leaders who are continuing the fight, having gained consciousness, from their respective ethnic, political, cultural, and identity locations and from their work, of their selves and the social problems facing their communities.

« Ashawo Work na Work » : Comment les jeunes féministes ghanéennes transforment des horizons féministes en réalité

par Fatima B. Derby

En 2017, la campagne #ManifestezVotreSolidarité a mis en évidence la manière dont les jeunes féministes pouvaient construire un avenir féministe en étant là les unes pour les autres, en participant à des conversations transrégionales, en marchant en solidarité avec d'autres activistes et en collaborant entre les mouvements.

The #MeToo movement in China was ignited in January 2018, impelled by the momentum of the #MeToo movement around the globe. The movement was a response to cultural and systemic problems in relation to gender and power within China. The foundation of the movement was laid over decades, with many years of debate and advocacy for gender equality finally erupting into a tremendous force across society. #MeToo has been driven mainly by young people, among whom are countless anonymous women and their allies, and they search for opportunities to realize the ultimate “Chinese Dream”: to transform China into a country with gender equality.
 
The environment for #MeToo movement is extremely adverse in China: the rule of law, the fairness and transparency of government action, and freedom of speech cannot be taken for granted by the movement in China but are the very goals it fights for. From the beginning, it has been an intense struggle, with every victim or activist who comes forward running tremendous risks. From being silenced, humiliated, or retaliated against, to having their safety jeopardized, every success of the #MeToo movement has been won by those who are courageous enough to bear the costs of speaking out and defying censorship.
 
#MeToo in China Exhibition was first held in 2019 and toured in 5 cities. The aim of the exhibition is to bring the personal experiences of the victims and activists to greater prominence and, through engagement with these stories, to inspire our audience to join in the fight. The exhibition has itself become a part of the #MeToo struggle—the exhibition has been beset by challenges on its tour throughout China, on more than one occasion even facing closure.

Case study 1 - Three Boats, a Horse and a Taxi: Pacific Feminists at the AWID Forums

This story is about how an increasingly diverse group of feminists from the Pacific organized through the years to attend the AWID Forums and how that process changed them personally, as organizations, and as a movement through what they learned, discovered and experienced. It illustrates the importance of the Forums as a space through which a region that tends to be marginalized or ignored at the global level can build a strong presence in the feminist movement that is then replicated at other international women’s rights spaces.

Fin 2019, les événements en Indonésie - notamment les signes d’intensification de la militarisation et de reculs des droits LGBTQ – nous ont amené·e·s à questionner la capacité de l’AWID à maintenir un environnement sécurisé et accueillant pour les divers·es participant·e·s que nous voulons rassembler au Forum.

Après un examen attentif, la Direction de l’AWID a décidé en novembre 2019 de faire évoluer le lieu de tenue du 14ème Forum international de l’AWID, de Bali à Taipei.

Taipei dispose de fortes capacités logistiques et est accessible pour beaucoup de voyageurs·ses (avec une facilitation de procédure de visa électronique pour les conférences internationales).
