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.

بدأنا التخطيط لعدد المجلّة هذا مع نانا داركوا قُبيل مهرجان «ابدعي، قاومي، غيٍّري: مهرجان للحراكات النسوية» لجمعية «حقوق المرأة في التنمية» AWID، وانطلقنا وقتها من سؤالٍ هو بالأحرى ملاحظة حول حالة العالم، ورغبة في تغيير الاعتقادات السائدة: لماذا لا تزال جنسانيّاتنا وملذّاتنا تخضع للترويض والتجريم مع أنّه يتمّ تذكيرنا مراراً وتكراراً بأنّها لا تأتي بأيّ قيمة أو تطوّر؟ واستنتجنا أنّ جنسانيّاتنا، لمّا تتجسّد، فيها ما يتعارض مع النظام العالمي الذي ما زال يتجلّى من خلال ضوابط الحدود، والتمييز العنصري في توزيع اللقاح، والاستعمار الاستيطاني، والتطهير العرقي، والرأسمالية المُستشرية. هل يمكننا إذاً القول إنّ لجنسانيّاتنا قدرةٌ تعطيليّة؟ وهل يصحّ هذا القول عندما ننظر إلى واقع حركاتنا التي يتمّ الاستيلاء عليها ومأسستها في سعيها للتزوّد بالموارد؟

Capítulo 2

Entender el contexto de las amenazas anti-derechos

El creciente poder de los actores anti-derechos no se está desarrollando en un vacío. Entender el auge del ultranacionalismo, del poder corporativo irrestricto, del incremento de la represión y de la disminución del espacio cívico resulta clave para contextualizar las amenazas anti-derechos que enfrentamos actualmente.

Snippet Kohl - Intro

Corporalidades Transnacionales

Desde siempre el feminismo sostiene que lo personal es político. El Festival Crear, Resister, Transform generó espacios en los que el feminismo pudo discutir las cuestiones relativas al cuerpo, el género y las sexualidades, y analizar las interconexiones de estos asuntos entendidos como experiencias profundas del cuerpo y, a la vez, un terreno en los que los derechos están en constante disputa y riesgo en la sociedad.

El poder de los movimientos feministas radica en el modo de organizarnos y emprender acciones coordinadas, no solo en nuestras propias comunidades y movimientos, sino también con otras causas y grupos aliados por la justicia social. El espacio brindó la oportunidad de que los movimientos compartieran y reforzaran los procesos de organización y las estrategias tácticas de forma mutua.

La pandemia mundial sanitaria del COVID-19 ha puesto de manifiesto como nunca antes el fracaso del capitalismo neoliberal, expuesto las fallas de nuestros sistemas y acentuado la necesidad de construir nuevas realidades y las oportunidades para ello. Una recuperación económica y social feminista exige el trabajo conjunto. Esta edición, en alianza con Kohl: una publicación para la investigación sobre cuerpo y género, analizará soluciones, propuestas y realidades feministas para transformar nuestro mundo actual, nuestros cuerpos y nuestras sexualidades.

CFA 2023 - Themes - ES

Temas

Apreciaremos propuestas de actividades referidas a todo el rango de áreas temáticas e intersecciones que son importantes para los movimientos feministas y por la justicia de género. En el formulario de propuesta podrás marcar más de un tema que se adecúe a tu actividad.

  • Cuerpos libres, espíritus libres: todo lo que que se relacione con la autonomía corporal, el género y la sexualidad, la salud y los derechos reproductivos, la libertad de vivir sin violencia de género, la libertad de vivir segurxs, el placer y la alegría en nuestros cuerpos diversos, identidades y comunidades, y mucho, mucho más.
  • Resistir frente a los antiderechos: tanto a nivel local como global, lxs feministas están liderando la resistencia frente a todas las formas de opresiones interseccionales, incluidos los fascismos, los fundamentalismos y los regímenes autoritarios; tenemos mucho para compartir y mucho sobre lo cual elaborar estrategias conjuntas.
  • Movimientos y organización: conozcamos nuestros respectivos movimientos. Desde el tránsito por los espacios de poder (internos y externos) hasta las estrategias de protección frente a la represión de las mujeres y las personas de género no normativo defensoras de los derechos humanos, desde el armado de alianzas hasta las formas creativas y exitosas de organización: aprendamos e inspirémonos recíprocamente.
  • Justicia económica y economías feministas: este tema abarca todos los esfuerzos feministas para transformar nuestras economías, desde el desafío de los modelos extractivistas dominantes y la defensa de los derechos laborales, hasta corporizar y vivir prácticas y alternativas económicas feministas en la vida cotidiana.
  • Financiar y dotar de recursos al activismo: obtener el financiamiento imprescindible constituye un desafío compartido para los movimientos de todo el mundo; estudiemos juntxs el ecosistema de financiamiento feminista, desde el análisis crítico hasta las experiencias de primera mano y las formas prácticas de financiar el trabajo feminista.
  • Clima, justicia ambiental, tierra y agua: la justicia ecológica y climática tiene profundas raíces en muchos de nuestros movimientos y comunidades; desde las tradiciones ancestrales hasta las visiones futuristas, desde los poblados ecológicos hasta las campañas para poner fin al extractivismo y acceder a la justicia, invitamos a abarcar un amplio rango de actividades sobre todos los aspectos de la justicia climática y ambiental.
  • Militarización, guerra y conflicto armado: nuestro objetivo es poner de relieve la organización, el análisis y las experiencias feministas que a menudo se encuentran en las primeras filas de la respuesta a las crisis, ayudando a sostener la vida, la comunidad y la justicia en los momentos más duros de guerra y conflicto prolongado.
  • Descolonización: la descolonización es central en todos y cada uno de nuestros temas y, sin embargo, también constituye, en sí misma, una agenda feminista clave de resistencia y construcción de mundo en muchas realidades coloniales y postcoloniales.
  • Realidades digitales y tecnología feminista: nos entusiasma esta oportunidad de celebrar las increíbles iniciativas feministas que transforman los mundos digitales, desafían las estructuras de poder de los gigantes tecnológicos y democratizan la tecnología, convirtiéndola en algo verdaderamente por y para la gente.
  • Justicia de sanación: existe una increíble diversidad de abordajes sobre el cuidado colectivo y la justicia de sanación. En todo el mundo, sanadorxs y movimientos están reivindicando la justicia de sanación como principio político, como conjunto de prácticas, como viaje de aprendizaje, como forma de vida y mucho más.

Ressources des mouvements féministes

Image pour partager l'enquête! "Ou est L'argent?"

 

L'enquête "Où est l'argent?" #WITM est maintenant en ligne ! Plongez dans l'enquête et partagez votre expérience du financement de votre organisation avec des féministes du monde entier.

En savoir plus et participer à l’enquête!


Les mouvements féministes, en faveur des droits des femmes et leurs allié-e-s du monde entier s’opposent au pouvoir et imaginent de nouvelles politiques de libération. Des ressources économiques et politiques aux actes quotidiens de résistance et de survie, les contributions qui viennent nourrir ce travail revêtent de nombreuses formes.


L’initiative de l’AWID, Ressources des mouvements féministes (Resourcing Feminist Movements, RFM), met en lumière l’écosystème de financement actuel, qui va des modèles d’attribution des ressources auto-générée aux voies de financement officielles.

A travers nos recherches et analyses, nous examinons de quelles façons les pratiques de financement pourraient mieux servir nos mouvements. Nous faisons une étude critique des contradictions propres au “financement” de la transformation sociale, compte tenu notamment de la répression politique croissante, des programmes anti-droits et du pouvoir grandissant des entreprises. Mais surtout, nous élaborons des stratégies collectives en appui à des mouvements fleurissants, solides et résilients.


Nos Actions

Reconnaissant la richesse de nos mouvements et répondant au contexte actuel, nous oeuvrons à:

  • Créer et élargir les alternatives : Nous développons les pratiques de financement qui accordent une place prépondérante aux priorités des activistes et impliquons un large éventail de donateurs et d’activistes dans la création de nouveaux modèles dynamiques d’attribution de ressources en faveur des mouvements féministes, en particulier dans un contexte qui voit l’espace de participation de la société civile diminuer considérablement.

  • Enrichir nos connaissances : Nous explorons, échangeons et consolidons nos connaissances sur la façon dont les mouvements attirent, organisent et utilisent les ressources qui leur sont nécessaires pour entreprendre des changements significatifs.

  • Plaider : Nous travaillons en partenariat, comme avec le Count Me In! Consortium, afin d’influencer les programmes de financement et permettre aux mouvements féministes d’être en dialogue direct pour déplacer le pouvoir et l’argent.

Snippet - COP30 - Resistance Hubs Section Column 1 - EN

As world leaders gather in Brazil, it’s vital that feminist movements especially from the Global Majority have autonomous spaces to gather, strategize, and disrupt.

These Hubs challenge the elitism of climate talks, center lived experiences, and aim to build collective power across borders. They offer a critical counterbalance to top-down, often exclusionary international negotiations. The Hubs aim to foster community-driven solutions, amplify feminist demands, and ensure that feminist principles of care and solidarity shape the climate agenda. It’s not just about being present at COP30, it’s about reshaping the conversation on climate justice on feminist terms.
