We support feminist and gender justice movements to thrive, challenge oppressions and co-create feminist realities
About us
The Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) is a global, feminist, membership, movement-support organization. For over 35 years, AWID has been a part of an incredible ecosystem of feminist movements working to achieve gender justice and women’s human rights worldwide. Our Initiatives work at the intersections of the sites of change we work to address, the movements we prioritize, and the tactics we use: Advancing Universal Rights and Justice: We monitor, document and make visible how anti-rights actors are operating and colluding in multilateral spaces and support feminist, women’s rights and gender justice movements and allies to counter their influence and impact. Building Feminist Economies: Working on extractivism, tax justice and corporate accountability, we build knowledge on corporate power and influence; advocate for corporate accountability and equitable distribution of wealth; and amplify feminist proposals for just economies. Resourcing Feminist Movements: We develop accessible, action-oriented analysis on the state of resourcing for feminist movements. We aim to influence funders’ policies and practices, deepen and sustain funding for feminist social change, and support movements’ needs and strategies. Co-Creating Feminist Realities: We unearth, co-create and amplify feminist realities, proposals and narratives and in doing so, contribute to making visible feminism in practice, inspiring exchange and joint action, and providing spaces for strategizing, thus increasing the collective impact and power of feminist alternatives.

On #WorldAIDSDay, we’re reflecting on our time at the 25th International AIDS Conference earlier this year, where AWID moderated “Invisible in Feminist Labour Movements” in partnership with ICW Global, NSWP, Drug Policy Advocacy Group Myanmar and WHRIN. Women living with HIV and key populations are keen to be included in feminist movements, yet HIV is rarely ever referenced in feminist spaces. Within feminist spaces HIV tends to be framed as a health issue, with little understanding or analysis of the structural and intersectional impacts of living with HIV. Today we reaffirm that HIV is a feminist issue that we should all care about and add to our feminist analysis. We hope that we can carry this message through the AWID Forum and beyond. Check out the reel for some of the key issues the feminist movement must address and then read the full article Reflections on AIDS 2024 - Why is HIV not on the feminist agenda? https://lnkd.in/eYcPijEW Video clips in the reel include footage from sessions by WHRIN , ICW Global , ICW Asia Pacific, ICW North America, ICW Eastern Africa, ICW Latina, MENA Rosa, Y+ Global, ATHENA Network, SANPUD, Drug Policy Advocacy Group Myanmar, Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP), Pan African Positive Women Coalition, and ICW Caribbean. ----- A l'occasion de la Journée Mondiale de Lutte contre le Sida, nous revenons sur notre participation à la 25e Conférence Internationale sur le Sida en juillet dernier, où l'AWID a animé la session "Invisible dans les mouvements des travailleur.euses féministes" en collaboration avec ICW Global, NSWP, Drug Policy Advocacy Group Myanmar et WHRIN. Aujourd'hui, nous réaffirmons que le VIH est une question féministe qui devrait nous concerner tous.tes et qui mérite de faire partie de notre analyse féministe. Nous nous réjouissons de porter ce message au Forum de l'AWID et au-delà. Regardez notre vidéo pour découvrir quelques-unes des questions clés que le mouvement féministe doit aborder, puis lisez l'article complet "Réflexions sur la 25e Conférence sur le Sida: pourquoi le VIH n'est pas à l'ordre du jour des féministes". ----- En el #DíaMundialDelSIDA, reflexionamos sobre nuestra participación en la 25ª Conferencia Internacional sobre el SIDA en julio de este año, donde AWID moderó la sesión “Invisibles en los Movimientos Laborales Feministas” en colaboración con ICW Global, NSWP, Drug Policy Advocacy Group Myanmar y WHRIN. Hoy reafirmamos que el VIH es un tema feminista que debe importarnos a todas y que merece ser parte de nuestro análisis feminista. Esperamos poder llevar este mensaje al Foro de AWID y más allá. Consulta nuestro reel para conocer algunos de los temas clave que el movimiento feminista debe abordar y luego lee el artículo completo Reflexiones sobre el SIDA 2024: ¿Por qué el VIH no está en la agenda feminista?

Palestine is a feminist issue - a struggle supported clearly and visibly by feminist movements worldwide. Palestinian voices and struggles will be centered during the upcoming 15th AWID International Forum in Bangkok, Thailand. The Forum is an agenda-setting space for strategizing around transnational feminist solidarities across Palestine, Lebanon, Sudan, West Papua, Myanmar and many, many other parts of the world. In this video, Randa Siniora, Director Women's Center for Legal Aid and Counseling Women's Centre for Legal Aid and Counselling - WCLAC shares a message about the realities of the ongoing genocide in Gaza today and how to take action. https://lnkd.in/ekhhGCEB ----- القضية الفلسطيية هي قضية نسوية - وهو نضال تدعمه الحركات النسوية في جميع أنحاء العالم بشكل واضح وجلي. أصوات ونضالات الفلسطينية ستتصدر اعمال المنتدى الدولي الخامس عشر لمنظمة AWID في بانكوك، تايلاند. المنتدى هو مساحة لوضع جداول أعمال لوضع استراتيجيات حول التضامن النسوي العابر للحدود الوطنية في فلسطين ولبنان والسودان وبابوا الغربية وميانمار والعديد والعديد من المناطق الأخرى في العالم. شاهد الفيديو كاملاً: رندة سنيورة، مديرة مركز المرأة للإرشاد والمساعدة القانونية (WCLAC) تشاركنا رسالة حول واقع الإبادة الجماعية المستمرة في غزة اليوم وكيفية التحرك.
