Partnering for Change: Movement Building in the 21st Century

Participate in this interactive panel and dialogue with women’s rights activists from Africa and the Middle East who will discuss strategies to strengthen social movements, particularly the women’s movement, in an era of crisis for civic organizing.

The event will include the premier of Against All Odds: Women Partnering for Change in a Time of Crisis, a new 25-minute video released by Women’s Learning Partnership that showcases the perspectives of activists from around the world including Afghanistan, Brazil, Egypt, Iran, Morocco, and Lebanon. They discuss the ways and means of strengthening women’s movements by building alliances, sharing inter-generational experience and expertise, and developing culture-specific, grassroots-based approaches to empowering women and girls.
