So we are inviting you to break away from the mediatic trend of focusing on the violence that exists in the world, to make room for the different experiences through which feminists have changed their reality, where they have managed to dismantle pieces of the oppressive beast, enabling them to create space to live their resistance and liberation.
We know and respect that these are people’s lived realities too, but we call them patriarchal realities, oppressive realities they are not the realities feminism is proposing and creating. When we speak about feminist realities, sometimes people respond with stories of violence and discrimination. Sometimes they are experiences about resistance or transformations in our close circles or within our community the important part is that each one of them can be a beacon of hope and inspiration or even a roadmap for others to craft their own path towards liberation.
At AWID we see in some of these stories of change, the possibilities for systemic transformation. There are millions of stories around the world like these, of powerful ways in which feminists are creating change. Image by Karina Ocampo personal collection, via Wikimedia Commons.
