FEMINIST DIVERSITY – GLOBALLY EMBEDDED, LOCALLY SHAPED
cfd – the feminist organization
7. 09.2022, 6.30-8pm in Käfigturm, Bern
What causes are feminists fighting for in the Maghreb and Southeastern Europe? What kind of resistance do they encounter? Which topics are controversial? To what extent do they reflect women’s concerns? How do they deal with patriarchal structures and power systems?
During this event, we will discuss these questions with three cfd coordinators from our project countries who will report on different feminism-related matters in their countries. They will underline how feminist thinking and action are shaped by concrete discrimination and challenges faced by women in local everyday life but also mention the global developments influencing local everyday life, local priorities and thus local gender relations.
This event is part of the cfd series FeminisTisch. In English, no translation.
