"Language translation and language interpretation are political works!"
Meet our Board member Margo as she shares her experience as a trans-national feminist addressing military violence against women in Palestine, East Asia and the US. She tells us about how access to language and translation is a concrete example on what #FeministRealities can look like.
On October 30, 2019, AWID held an interactive conversation which explored the Feminist Realities concept, how to identify and amplify examples of Feminist Realities, and how the framework can be applied to activism.
Your favourite AWID essays are now available in audio format! Original texts authored by feminists from around the world are interpreted in English, French and Spanish.
On 21 August 2018, the AWID team held a live discussion to share our vision for Co-creating Feminist Realities, the framework guiding our work from 2018-2022.
AWID worked closely with communities of women who use drugs to build solidarity, learn from, support and engage with each other. We have documented our experience in this report.
At the start of 2017, Lydia Alpízar Durán stepped down as AWID’s Executive Director, after 10 years of passionate leadership,and Cindy Clark and Hakima Abbas became the organization’s first co-Executive Directors.
Given the current state of the COVID 19 pandemic, our Board of Directors has decided to postpone the 14th AWID International Forum to September 20-23, 2021. The location of the Forum remains Taipei, Taiwan.
Feminists have mobilized on a massive scale to generate our own autonomous resources for daily acts of solidarity and survival and to respond politically, collectively, and powerfully to this moment. Many of these actions are coming from within communities and movements in some of the hardest hit and less privileged places, and especially amongst Black, LBTQI+, disability, migrant, land & labour movements. Some of the responses are localised, while others are global.
In recognition of this particular moment in time, and knowing that so many movements may be relying more and more on organising remotely for the next few months, APC, AWID and FRIDA share some of what we have learnt around how to organise politically in virtual worlds.
