Les données seront traitées à des fins statistiques, pour mettre en lumière l’état du financement de l’organisation des mouvements féministes dans le monde entier, et ne seront présentées que sous forme agrégée. L’AWID ne publiera pas d’informations relatives à une organisation donnée ni ne divulguera d’informations qui permettraient d’identifier une organisation par le biais de son emplacement ou de caractéristiques qui lui sont propres, sans son accord explicite.

Interviews produce in-depth information that you cannot easily obtain from surveys. While surveys focuses mainly on quantifiable data and closed questions, interviews allow for expert opinions from activists and donors, and open-ended questions which can provide context to survey data results.

  2. Women’s rights organizations and activists interviews
• Preliminary findings

General tips

1. Before conducting your interviews

Send the interviewees a concept note with your objectives for the interview and for your overall research, as well as a list of questions.

This allows them to prepare answers for more complicated questions and look up information that they may not have immediately on hand.

2. During the interviews

• You can conduct interviews while your survey is running, in order to save time.
• Try to keep your interviews as consistent as possible in order to facilitate systematic analysis of results. This means asking the same questions. Coding identical responses to each question will allow you to uncover hidden trends.
• The interviews can also be used to flesh out some of the survey findings

Do not base your questions on assumptions about your interviewees’ knowledge.
Instead, first clarify what they know – this will reveal information as well.

• DON’T: “Given the current funding trends in Switzerland, do you know of any opportunities for collaboration? This question assumes that the interviewee knows current funding trends and that their understanding of funding trends matches yours.
• DO: First ask “What is your understanding of current funding trends in Switzerland?”, followed by “Do you know of any opportunities for collaboration?” This will reveal what their understanding is, giving you even more information than the first question.

Specialized interviews

1. Donor interviews

Interviews with donors will allow you to build deeper relationships with them, which will be useful when you conduct post-research advocacy. They will also provide you with deeper insight into funders’ decision-making processes.

Suggested topics of focus for donor interviews:

• What are their funding priorities? Why and how did they select those priorities? For example, why do they choose project-funding over core support or vice versa?
• What are annual amounts allocated to the advancement of women’s human rights? This will strengthen overall reliability of data collected.
• Have they noticed any funding trends, and what do they believe are the origins and politics behind these trends?
• What is their theory of social change and how does that impact their relationships with women’s rights organizations?

2. Women’s rights organizations and activists interviews

Interviews with women’s rights organizations and activists will provide you with insight into their on-the-ground realities. Again, these interviews will allow you to build deeper relationships that can be incorporated into your advocacy, particularly to encourage collaboration between donors and activists.

Suggested topics of focus for women’s rights organizations and activist interviews:

• Long-term funding priority trends noted by women’s organizations and their impact.
• Successful examples of feminist and collaborative resource mobilization strategies that build strong and complementary movements.
• “Making the case” for why it is important to support women’s organizations and organizing.
• How different actors understand the social change process and their role in advancing/achieving gender equality and women’s rights.

Preliminary findings

Through the course of your WITM research, we recommend analyzing your preliminary findings. Presenting your preliminary findings opens up opportunities to conduct more interviews and get feedback on your research process and initial results. This feedback can be incorporated into your final research.

AWID conducts “WITM convenings” to share preliminary results of survey data and interviews. These gatherings allow participants (activists, women’s rights organizations, and donors) to debate and discuss the results, clarifying the context, creating more ownership amongst members of the movement, and providing more input for final research.

For example, the Resource Mobilization Hub for Indigenous Women’s Rights at the World Summit on Indigenous Philanthropy was used as a space to debut preliminary results.

Preguntas frecuentes

Le contexte

Aujourd'hui, de nombreux systèmes de savoirs communautaires sont en danger.

Les changements qui surviennent à une vitesse effrénée sur le plan économique, politique et culturel détruisent les environnements, les pratiques et les moyens de subsistance. Diverses formes de connaissances sombrent dans l’oubli, sont marchandées et colonisées dans le cadre de la mondialisation massive, de la promesse de gains à court terme, ou encore contre des solutions de fortune.

Définition

Le Buen Vivir (le bien-vivre), un concept adapté à partir des connaissances des peuples autochtones andins, est décrit comme la réalisation collective d'une vie d'accomplissement fondée sur des relations harmonieuses et équilibrées entre les êtres humains et tous les êtres vivants, dans la réciprocité et la complémentarité. Cela implique de reconnaître que les êtres humains sont une partie intégrante de la nature, que nous dépendons de la nature et que nous sommes interdépendant-e-s entre nous.

La vision inhérente à la notion de Buen Vivir intègre la production et la reproduction comme processus indissociables de l'économie, de la production de richesse et des conditions de vie.

Perspective féministe

D’une perspective féministe, le Buen Vivir valorise les relations et les ressources mobilisées dans les cycles de production et de reproduction, favorisant l’équilibre (non seulement celui des marchés) afin de garantir la continuité et les changements, tant qu'ils sont compatibles avec la justice économique et la pérennité de la vie.

Certaines conceptions binaires liées au genre et à la complémentarité entre les hommes et les femmes ont été critiquées par les féministes puisqu’elles laissent peu de place à une discussion plus approfondie sur le patriarcat hétérocentrique et les relations de genre ‘non conformes’.

Cela dit, l'une des principales contributions de l’application du principe Buen Vivir aux cadres politiques, économiques et sociaux, consiste à ce que l'égalité ne représente plus le paradigme des droits individuels, ayant plutôt pour objet la transformation de l’ensemble de la société.

Pour en savoir plus sur cette proposition :

• Buen Vivir: An introduction from a women’s rights perspective in Bolivia (Une perspective des droits des femmes sur le Buen Vivir en Bolivie : Une introduction, disponible en anglais). Dans son article, Martha Lanza conteste l'idée que le Buen Vivir est neutre en matière de genre et réclame le démantèlement des structures de pouvoir patriarcales qui persistent. Dans la même publication, Magdalena León analyse d’une perspective de genre la façon dont la cosmovision du Buen Vivir cherche à vaincre les idéaux d'expansion et de croissance permanentes, en plus de mettre en lumière les préjugés sexistes qui doivent être pris en compte.
• Buen Vivir: Today’s Tomorrows (Les lendemains d’aujourd’hui) par Eduardo Gudynas (en anglais).
• Indigenous Women's Visions of an Inclusive Feminism (Visions de femmes autochtones pour un féminisme inclusif), par Myrna Cunningham (en anglais). Un document qui met en évidence les contributions essentielles des femmes autochtones à la construction d'un mouvement féministe plus diversifié, inclusif et fort.
