Global Unit for Feminism and Gender Democracy

The anti-feminist rollback is gaining gobal momentum. Authoritarian and right-wing governments are working closely with the anti-gender movement, which has been growing stronger for years, to attack the hard-won rights of women, queer people, refugees, and other vulnerable groups. We analyze gender and power relations and expand the scope for action for feminist actors. In doing so, we stand up for reproductive justice, strengthen intersectional approaches to combating gender-based violence, support international feminist alliances, and call for a feminist organizational and leadership culture.
