Solidarity and alliance building
We are living in increasingly challenging times for SRHR work, with a rise in anti-gender politics, shrinking civic space and attacks against feminist, anti-racist and social justice activism. While identifying and analysing these developments is important, finding holistic solutions is even more urgent.
We see intersectional feminist alliance building as one important counter-strategy in the current context. In several countries across the globe, anti-gender mobilisations coincide with, and have sparked, a revitalisation of intersectional feminist movements that are broad-based, transinclusive, and bring together diverse groups of social justice activists – and that centre solidarity and collective care as part of movement sustainability. RFSU works together with partner organizations, including through its Learning and Action for Change network, to create spaces for building relationships among movements, partners and allies. Creating such spaces, we suggest, is a precondition for enabling and deepening intersectional feminist solidarity within and across borders.
