As part of the Feminist Realities Journey, we are inviting you to take part in a series of curated conversations, designed to spark meaningful dialogue and co-creation, among feminist activists and organizations from all over the world.
Skill shares, fireside chats, and exchanges
On the road to the AWID Forum, the movements put forward hundreds of proposals of creative and engaging activities that speak about the way different collectives are making feminism a reality. We want to start sparking dialogues now about the many ways of bringing feminism to practice, and continue them at the Forum and afterward. These conversations are crafted to expand the online boundaries with skill shares and small group fireside chats; they will include interpretation for a diversity of languages.
Staty tuned for more sessions in 2021!
The Journey Continues
In 2021 we will continue these curated conversations, some of the upcoming topics are:
- disability justice, reproductive justice & sexual freedoms;
- feminists transforming democracy in times of crisis;
- movement, healing, and addressing trauma as sustenance for movement building and how we win (our victories as movements).
It's vital we don’t allow physical distancing to become social distancing. Crisis is not new to feminist and social movements, we have a long history of surviving in the face of oppression and building our communities and our own realities. We have continued to thrive, finding strategies that enable us to break away from the logics of racism, patriarchy, and colonialism, replacing them with logics of liberation, solidarity and care. We have done this in collaboration, our networks have been our strength.
Feminist movements are a powerful force, building the path towards the world we want to live in, here are some avenues where we can start:
It’s time to inspire each other through stories of resistance, creation, and victory, we must share the knowledge that we have built through our experiences and bring our minds to strategize together.
Welcome back on the journey towards Feminist Realities!
