Feminist Activism Without Fear: Strategies for Resilience & Resistance

Join us to learn from feminist leaders and explore together how we can build ecosystems of support to sustain their transformative work.

Even as feminist activists and movements face intensifying reprisals, they are driving brilliant, innovative solutions towards building a more just and equal world.

This inspiring event in New York City will feature frontline activists sharing their strategies for resilience and hope. Held during the Commission on the Status of Women’s 70th session, this International Women’s Day gathering will illuminate the realities of the reprisals feminist movements face and highlight the resilience strategies that enable movements to continue their work while caring for themselves and one another. During the event, guests will also have the opportunity to write a letter of solidarity to a feminist activist who is currently imprisoned for their human rights work as part of our partner organization Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition’s #SpreadingTheEcho campaign.
