Le Monde: Mort de Simone Veil, icône de la lutte pour les droits des femmes
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.
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.
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.

Yes! We recognize and appreciate different reasons why feminists, in their respective contexts, don’t have external funding: from being ineligible to apply for grants and/or receive money from abroad, to relying on resources generated autonomously as a political strategy in its own right. We want to hear from you regardless of your experience with external funding.

Abby fue una feminista y activista por los derechos humanos pionera, y antes epidemióloga de McGill University.
Abby era conocida por defender causas sociales, y por sus lúcidas críticas a las tecnologías reproductivas y otros temas médicos. En particular, hizo campaña contra lo que ella denominó la «genetización» de las tecnologías reproductivas, contra la terapia de reemplazo hormonal, y a favor de más y mejor investigación antes de la aprobación de descubrimientos tales como las vacunas contra el virus del papiloma humano.
Cuando falleció, sus amigxs y colegas la describieron afectuosamente como una «ardiente defensora» de la salud de las mujeres.

“Nous Sommes la Solution tiene una visión de una África donde, en solidaridad, las mujeres rurales involucradas en la toma de decisiones puedan cultivar, procesar, vender y consumir productos de la agricultura familiar preservando el medio ambiente, para un desarrollo sostenible, armonioso y duradero”.
Marielle était une femme politique brésilienne, féministe lesbienne et militante des droits humains.
Marielle était une critique virulente de la brutalité policière et des exécutions extrajudiciaires. Sa politique, ouvertement féministe, centrée sur les personnes noires et les favelas était une source d’espoir pour les groupes marginalisés de Rio de Janeiro, actuellement gouvernée par un gouvernement conservateur et un maire évangélique.
Le 14 mars 2018, après avoir prononcé un discours à Rio de Janeiro, Marielle Franco et son chauffeur ont été assassinés, abattus par balles. Suite à la nouvelle de leur mort, les foules sont descendues dans les rues en criant « Marielle presente! » (Marielle est ici !) et ont exigé que justice soit faite.

We ramped up preparations for the 13th AWID international Forum, focused a lot of energy on the Post 2015 Development Agenda and Financing for Development processes, and continued the core work of our priority areas:
In response, we are moving out of our silos.
Increasingly, women’s rights and other movements worldwide are articulating the systemic and intersectional nature of these and other problems. We are making better connections with the agendas of other social and environmental movements for solidarity, alliance building and collective responses. We are also seeing greater visibility of these movements fighting for justice on the ground.


Barin was a member of the all-women fighting unit of the Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG)
She was killed while on active duty.
Lebanese journalist Hifaa Zuaiter wrote: “Barin represents everything we have heard about the courage of the Kurdish female fighters, and her death is far more than the killing of a rival, or the result of a political or ethnic struggle. The horror of displaying her body only because she is a woman stems from the fact that she dared to threaten male hegemony by becoming a female fighter on a battlefield meant for men”.
