About the learning exchange: “Voices unbound: youth organising in restrictive spaces” – an opportunity for WILPF members and partners to exchange knowledge and experiences on youth feminist organising in challenging contexts and identify successful strategies and best practices.
Find out more: On International Day of the Girl (11 October), we celebrate brave young feminist activists who play a critical role in advancing gender equality – from the right to learn, to sexual health, to safety – while facing increasing threats. In addition to facing the global backlash against women’s rights, young feminist activists face specific impediments to their activism including a limited access to resources and opportunities and increased threats against girl human rights defenders. To better understand how to navigate these challenging contexts, we invite you to participate in our next Global Call co-hosted by the Young WILPF Network to exchange knowledge and experiences on youth feminist organising in restrictive contexts including Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq.
