AWID Forum – A Global South Feminist Manifesto

Reflections on the Experience of Transnational Organising

This session unveils the South Feminist Manifesto, a visionary project born from transnational dialogues across five languages. Six pioneering feminists from Western Sahara, Haiti, Bolivia, Brazil, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe will share their experiences of transnational organising. The panel brings together Black, Indigenous, Latina transfeminist, and queer perspectives.

Speakers will reflect on key themes from the manifesto, discussing the unique model of remote, global collaboration used to produce the manifesto, exploring challenges and triumphs of coordinating across time zones, languages, and cultural contexts.

This dialogue invites Global South feminist activists, researchers, and educators to engage with a framework challenging dominant paradigms and forging pathways for transnational solidarity and transformative change.

4. Adriana Guzmán Arroyo from Bolivia (Spanish)
