Drafting Process

The South Feminist Manifesto seeks to articulate a shared vision and agenda for the future through an extensive, participatory process.

  • The process will be guided by a diverse Manifesto Planning Group (MPG) with representation across regions, identities and sectors.
  • The MPG will select Convenors to lead consultations in multiple languages to involve feminists globally. Creative offline and online methods will make consultations accessible.
  • Additionally, self-organising groups focused on key themes will be invited to participate.
  • A Drafting Committee comprising diverse representation across regions, identities and sectors will be formed to synthesise insights from consultations into successive manifesto drafts.
  • Drafts will be shared with the MPG and broader networks for feedback.
  • The final manifesto will be translated into multiple languages for launch in 2024.

The Drafting Committee will craft inclusive, representative drafts that challenge oppressive structures and provide a roadmap for change. The committee will work closely with the MPG to build consensus and validate the final manifesto through a participatory process.
