Confronting Extractivism & Corporate Power

Women human rights defenders (WHRDs) worldwide defend their lands, livelihoods and communities from extractive industries and corporate power. They stand against powerful economic and political interests driving land theft, displacement of communities, loss of livelihoods, and environmental degradation.


Why resist extractive industries?

Extractivism is an economic and political model of development that commodifies nature and prioritizes profit over human rights and the environment. Rooted in colonial history, it reinforces social and economic inequalities locally and globally. Often, Black, rural and Indigenous women are the most affected by extractivism, and are largely excluded from decision-making. Defying these patriarchal and neo-colonial forces, women rise in defense of rights, lands, people and nature.

Critical risks and gender-specific violence

WHRDs confronting extractive industries experience a range of risks, threats and violations, including criminalization, stigmatization, violence and intimidation.  Their stories reveal a strong aspect of gendered and sexualized violence. Perpetrators include state and local authorities, corporations, police, military, paramilitary and private security forces, and at times their own communities.

Acting together

AWID and the Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition (WHRD-IC) are pleased to announce “Women Human Rights Defenders Confronting Extractivism and Corporate Power”; a cross-regional research project documenting the lived experiences of WHRDs from Asia, Africa and Latin America.

We encourage activists, members of social movements, organized civil society, donors and policy makers to read and use these products for advocacy, education and inspiration.

María Cecilia Alfaro Quesada

María Cecilia dedicó la mayor parte de su vida a la incorporación de una perspectiva feminista y de género en el trabajo institucional y organizacional y en el de capacitación. 

De niña, demostraba fuerte interés en el arte, la comunicación, la naturaleza, la literatura y el logro de la justicia, especialmente para las mujeres y los grupos marginados. 

Estaba comprometida con los derechos sexuales y reproductivos y fue parte de la Junta Nacional para la Educación Integral en Sexualidad. Sus seres queridxs la recuerdan como «una luchadora apasionada e incansable» con un profundo compromiso con los derechos de las mujeres y lxs niñxs.

Snippet FEA how important essential workers are (EN)

The COVID-19 pandemic showed the world how important essential workers are. We’re talking about cleaners, nurses, paramedics, domestic workers, transport workers, grocery shop workers, among others. Their work is to tend to and guarantee the wellbeing of others, and they make our economies function.

But while they take care of us…

Peni Moore

Philosophe féministe radicale, Peni était aussi poète, écrivaine, dramaturge et compositrice.

Première coordinatrice du Fiji Women’s Rights Movement (Mouvement pour les droits des femmes aux Fidji), elle a laissé un héritage empreint de sa profonde préoccupation pour les droits fondamentaux des femmes, la justice et la paix. L’engagement de Peni en faveur de la justice sociale, économique et écologique et son travail remarquable lui a valu le respect de la communauté locale et internationale. Au sein des mouvements féministes traditionnels des Fidji, elle a été l’une des premières à travailler avec et aux côtés des personnes LGBTQI et a fourni une assistance concrète au mouvement des travailleurs et des travailleuses du sexe lorsqu’il s’est constitué aux Fidji.

Ses collègues l'ont décrite comme une personne formidable et une leader visionnaire du changement. Elle a inspiré beaucoup de personnes par sa créativité et son courage. Son travail a permis à de nombreuses personnes de se faire entendre, d’acquérir de nouvelles compétences et d’ouvrir de nouvelles voies, tant au niveau personnel que communautaire.

Points d’ancrages thématiques

La cadre des Réalités Féministes du Forum repose sur six points d’ancrages thématiques. Chaque point d’ancrage met les réalités, les expériences et les visions féministes au coeur du continuum entre résistance et proposition, lutte et alternative. Nous cherchons à explorer ensemble ce qui constitue nos réalités féministes et ce qui leur permet de se répandre dans les différentes sphères de nos vies.

Ces réalités se manifestent sous forme de modes de vie pleinement articulés, de rêves et d'idées en devenir, ou encore d'expériences et de moments précieux. 


Plus que des thèmes isolés, les points d’ancrage sont des conteneurs interconnectés à l’effet des activités du Forum. Nous prévoyons de nombreuses activités à l’intersection de ces thèmes, des différentes luttes, communautés et mouvements. Encore provisoires, les descriptions continuent d’évoluer au fur et à mesure que le parcours des Réalités Féministes se poursuit.

Ressources pour les communautés et les mouvements  et justice économique 

Ce point d’ancrage met l’accent sur la façon dont nous répondons à nos besoins fondamentaux et assurons les ressources qui nous sont nécessaires pour prospérer, en tant qu’individus,  communautés et mouvements, d’une manière qui prenne soin des personnes et de la nature en priorité. Nous entendons par “ ressources ” l’alimentation, l’eau et l’air pur, ainsi que l’argent, le travail, l’information, la connaissance, le temps et autres. 

S’appuyant sur la résistance féministe face au système économique d’exploitation et d’extractivisme, ce point d’ancrage met en lumière les propositions, expériences et pratiques féministes puissantes et inspirantes concernant l’organisation de notre vie économique et sociale. L’alimentation et la souveraineté alimentaire ainsi que les visions féministes du travail et des systèmes commerciaux justes et durables ne constituent que quelques-unes des questions qui feront l’objet de notre exploration. Nous ferons courageusement  face aux contradictions qui émergent de la nécessité de survivre dans des systèmes économiques répressifs.  

Ce point d’ancrage intègre le financement et le ressourcement pour les organisations et les mouvements dans une vaste analyse féministe de la justice économique et de la création de richesses. Il examine comment déplacer les ressources là où elles sont nécessaires, de la justice fiscale et du revenu de base à différents modèles de philanthropie et au ressourcement créatif  et autonome des mouvements.

Gouvernance, responsabilisation et justice 

Nous cherchons à créer de nouvelles visions et à amplifier les réalités et les expériences existantes en termes de gouvernance féministe, de justice et de responsabilisation. Face à la crise mondiale et à la montée du fascisme et du fondamentalisme, ce point d’ancrage se concentre sur les modèles, les pratiques et les idées féministes, radicales et émancipatrices d’organisation de la société et de la vie politique, à l’échelle locale et mondiale. 

Ce point d’ancrage explorera les aspects de la gouvernance, depuis les expériences féministes du municipalisme jusqu'à nos visions du multilatéralisme, en passant par la construction d'institutions situées à l’extérieur des États-nations. Nous échangerons nos expériences concernant les processus judiciaires et de responsabilisation au sein de nos communautés, nos organisations et nos mouvements, notamment les modèles de justice réparatrice, communautaire et transformatrice qui rejettent la violence étatique et le complexe carcéro-industriel. 
En nous concentrant sur les expériences de voyages, de migrations et de refuges ainsi que sur l’organisation féministe, nous voulons un monde sans régimes frontaliers mortels; un monde où la circulation y est libre et les voyages passionnants.  

Réalités digitales 

Le rôle de la technologie dans nos vies ne cesse de croître et la frontière entre les réalités en ligne et hors ligne continue de s’estomper. Les féministes se servent largement des technologies et des espaces en ligne pour construire la communauté, apprendre les un-e-s des autres et mobiliser l’action.  Grâce aux espaces en ligne, nous pouvons repousser les limites de notre monde physique. En revanche,, les communications digitales appartiennent majoritairement à des sociétés n’assumant qu’une part de responsabilité mineure vis-à-vis des utilisateurs-trices : l’exploration de données, la surveillance et les atteintes à la sécurité sont devenues la norme, de même que la violence et le harcèlement en ligne. 

Ce point d’ancrage explore les opportunités et les enjeux féministes qui existent au sein des réalités digitales. Nous nous pencherons sur les alternatives qui se présentent face aux plateformes privées qui dominent l’horizon digital, ainsi que sur les stratégies de bien-être pour la navigation d’espaces en ligne et les utilisations de la technologie comme moyen de surmonter les problèmes d’accessibilité. Nous examinerons ce que la technologie peut apporter en termes de plaisir, de confiance et de relations.

Corps, plaisir et bien-être 

Les réalités féministes règnent également en nous-mêmes: il s’agit de l’expérience incarnée. Le contrôle dont font l’objet notre travail, notre reproduction et notre sexualité est toujours au coeur des structures patriarcales, cis-hétéro-normatives et capitalistes. Face à cette répression, des personnes de genre, de sexualité et d’habiletés différentes  organisent des rencontres, créent des espaces et conçoivent des sous-cultures destinées à la joie, à la sollicitude, au plaisir et à une profonde appréciation mutuelle et de soi-même.  

Ce point d’ancrage explorera les idées, les récits, les inventions et les expressions culturelles du consentement, du pouvoir et du désir des femmes, des personnes transgenres, non-binaires, transexuelles et intersexuées dans différentes sociétés et cultures. 

Nous échangerons des stratégies visant à obtenir les droits en termes de santé reproductive et la justice, et exposerons des pratiques sociales facilitatrices et respectueuses de l’autonomie, l’intégrité et la liberté corporelles. Ce point d’ancrage relie différentes luttes et différents mouvements afin de partager nos perceptions et nos expériences de ce que sont le bien-être et le plaisir.

Planète et êtres vivants 

Imaginez une planète féministe. Quel est le son de l’eau, l’odeur de l’air, le contact de la terre?  Quelles sont les relations entre la planète et les êtres vivants, y compris les êtres humains? Les réalités féministes sont celles d’une justice environnementale et climatique.  Les luttes féministes, autochtones, décoloniales et écologiques puisent souvent leurs racines dans des visions transformatives ainsi que dans la relation entre la nature et les êtres. 

Ce point d’ancrage se concentre sur le bien-être de notre planète et s’interroge sur les façons dont les êtres humains ont interagi avec elle et l’ont transformée. Nous voulons explorer les aspects des savoirs traditionnels et de la biodiversité dans le cadre de la préservation d’une planète féministe, et acquérir des connaissances sur les pratiques féministes dans le domaine de la décroissance, la pratique des communs, les modèles d’économies parallèles, l’agro-écologie et les initiatives en termes de souveraineté alimentaire et énergétique.  

Organisation féministe 

Bien que nous considérions tous ces points d’ancrage comme étant reliés, celui-ci est véritablement transversal; nous vous invitons donc à ajouter une dimension organisationnelle à tous les points d’ancrage auxquels les activités que vous proposez sont liées. 

Comment se déroule l’organisation féministe dans le monde aujourd’hui? Cette question porte notre attention sur les acteurs, la dynamique du pouvoir, les ressources, le leadership, les économies dans lesquelles nous sommes intégré-e-s, notre compréhension de la justice et de la responsabilisation, l'ère numérique et les expériences que nous faisons de l'autonomie, du bien-être et des soins collectifs. Nous espérons, à travers tous ces points d’ancrage, créer un espace de réflexion sincère autour de la répartition du pouvoir et des ressources et de la négociation au sein de nos propres mouvements.


Le Forum est un processus collaboratif

Le Forum se veut bien plus qu’un événement de quatre jours. C’est un arrêt de plus dans un parcours de renforcement de mouvement autour des réalités féministes, lequel a déjà commencé et continuera bien au-delà des dates du Forum.

Samira Khalil

Samira was a Syrian activist under Bashar al-Asad's regime.

From a young age Samira opposed all forms of despotism, particularly vis-a-vis the authoritarian regime in which she lived.

Samira was kidnapped in 2013 along with three other prominent activists. She is believed to have been taken from the Center for the Documentation of Violations in Duma, in rural Damascus.

The main suspect associated with her disappearance is the Army of Islam (which denies its involvement). There has been no formal investigation of Samira’s disappearance and she has not been heard from since.  Samira was committed to her country and refused to leave Syria until she felt her role in empowering women and documenting crimes was no longer necessary.

Selection of Forum activities

For each AWID Forum we call for contributions from a wide range of feminist and social justice movements to propose activities and create the Forum program.

For the 14th AWID international Forum, we want to make the program truly representative of the diversity of the movements.

That is why we put in place a new and engaging way to choose the proposals that will generate the final Forum program: the Participatory Selection Process (PSP).

What is the Participatory Selection Process (PSP)?

The Participatory Selection Process is the final step in reviewing the activity proposals and selecting those that will be part of the official Forum program. 

This is how it works: 

  1. Activity proposals have originally been submitted via our Call for Forum Activities, open to everyone - groups and individuals - interested in presenting their feminist reality at the Forum.
  2. Out of all the activities submitted, AWID staff pre-selects the ones best reflecting the Forum theme and presenting a creative approach for audience engagement.
  3. Activities are then reviewed and short-listed by different Forum Committees to ensure a good diversity of regions, movements and ideas.
  4. The selected proposals are then reviewed and rated by individuals and groups whose proposals have also been short-listed. The proposals which receive the most votes from fellow candidates will become part of the final Forum program.

Why did AWID decide to organize a PSP for the 14th AWID Forum activities?

We think a PSP is relevant for the AWID Forum because:

  • It places at the centre of the decision making process the communities who live the feminist realities that will be showcased and discussed at the Forum 

  • It is consistent with our identity and our role as a movement support/ accompaniment organization

  • It is in line with our vision of the Forum as co-created with different feminist and social justice movements, who shape the Forum through their participation in committees (content and methodology, access, artivist and host country), creating and facilitating activities as partners with AWID and also making decisions about the Program through the PSP.

  • It allows for greater diversity in the textures that will make up the Forum fabric (or in the voices that will compose the Forum song). It ensures we go beyond AWID itself and the movement partners that we already know and work with. It opens the door to the unexpected.

How did AWID come up with this PSP idea?

This is the first time AWID is considering such a process.

The initial idea came from AWID’s Co-EDs and staff. Before committing to a decision, we consulted some of the community funds that have been implementing participatory selection processes for years. These included FRIDA: The Young Feminists Fund, the International Trans Fund, UHAI - East Africa’s fund for sexual minorities and sex workers - and the Central American Women’s Fund. We consulted them to learn from their extensive experiences and get their feedback.
