The 2016 Association for Women’s Rights in Development (AWID) Forum is a space for progressive feminist voices and our allies to imagine futures free from gendered oppressions, racial, ethnic, and economic injustice, environmental degradation, and war and violence, to renew solidarities and advance concrete joint action agendas.
The AWID is calling proposals for 13th AWID International Forum on Women’s Rights and Development which will take place from 5 to 9 May 2016 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
Financial Assistance
AWID has a limited amount of funding to support organizers/presenters in selected sessions who would be unable to present at the forum without financial assistance. Applications for AWID’s ‘Access Fund’ will be made available to all selected session organizers in September 2015.
Goals of the AWID Forum 2016 are to –
- Celebrate the gains of the past 20 years by diverse social movements and critically analyze the lessons we can carry forward;
- Assess our current reality in the full diversity of our contexts, to locate opportunities for advancing the rights of women and other oppressed people, as well as the threats and challenges – both new and old – confronting today;
- Explore strategies for mobilizing greater solidarity and collective power across diverse movements to push back the forces of oppression and tap into existing opportunities to advance shared visions for a just world;
- Inspire, energize and renew strength and purpose among activists and advocates from diverse locations and movements.
