Femmes for Freedom in New York: Tentoonstelling 'Portraits of Progress: Women Powering The Global Goals'

"Ik had nooit durven hopen dat het werk van Femmes for Freedom zou mogen schitteren in het hoofdkwartier van de Verenigde Naties. Deze gelegenheid is een monumentale erkenning en eer, en tevens een bewijs van de internationale impact van Femmes for Freedom. Dit succes was onmogelijk geweest zonder de onmisbare bijdragen van Mup en Imane, onze geweldige vrijwilligers, stagiaires, donateurs en Vital Voices. Hartelijk dank!

De tentoonstelling ‘Portraits of Progress: Women Powering The Global Goals’, een initiatief van Vital Voices in samenwerking met de VN, belicht de cruciale bijdragen van vrouwelijke changemakers aan de Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) van de VN. Het onderstreept het cruciale belang van vrouwen in het stimuleren van echte verandering en ontwikkeling wereldwijd. De erkenning van Femmes for Freedom binnen deze context en deze tentoonstelling vervult ons met trots en bevestigt opnieuw de internationale betekenis en impact van onze inzet voor vrouwenrechten.

Ons bezoek aan New York bood ook een uitgelezen kans om verbindingen te leggen met andere vrouwenorganisaties en inspiratie op te doen voor toekomstige projecten. De tentoonstelling, die gedurende de hele maand maart te bezichtigen is in het hoofdkwartier van de Verenigde Naties, fungeert als een krachtig platform om de essentiële rol van vrouwen in het bereiken van de SDG's te erkennen."

Women’s Rights Caucus Statement – Protect Women and Girls by upholding the Beijing Declaration

The Women’s Rights Caucus, representing over 900 feminist advocates from around the world, urges you to oppose the proposed US draft resolution entitled “Protection of women and girls through appropriate terminology.” Despite the title, we do not feel protected nor represented by this initiative. Download this statement as pdf. Download this statement in Spanish. On the heels of the first-ever recorded vote on the agreed conclusions of the annual meetings of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, and in complete disregard of the significant opposition their proposal got in the negotiation room, the United States has circulated a new resolution proposal which attempts to falsely state that the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action agreed that “gender” was defined as “men and women”. It attributes to annex IV of the Report of the Fourth World Conference of Women a meaning that was never agreed by Member States, effectively rewriting th...

ARTivism for Change: Creativity as Resistance at CSW69

Artwork "Who can I trust with my story?" from ArtVism in Uganda During the 69th CSW, the Our Voices Our Futures (OVOF) consortium organised a creative ARTivism for Change space where bold protest sign-making, intimate film screenings, and thought-provoking feminist dialogues blended together. Over two days, March 12 and 13, 2025, artists, activists, and allies transformed the space into dynamic real-life canvases of empowerment, solidarity, and cultural and political resistance. In the main space of the Blue Gallery participants engaged with various stations, including Button Making , Journaling with Art , Drawing , and Protest Sign Making . Participants moved between activities, creating powerful messages of resistance and hope. The creativity extended beyond the activities themselves. Access Denied The ACCESS DENIED campaign , initiated by WO=MEN, was set up to be a photo installation. It highlights the deep gap between the inclusive vision set forth at the 1995 Beijing ...

"Beat back the radicals!"

“We will beat back the radicals and we will fight all their falsehoods and we will help as best we can all the faithful UN delegations trying to help the unborn child. But, the Friday Fax and our presence at UN headquarters is not free. In fact, it is terribly expensive. Would you be able to make a sacrificial donation to our work of $500? $100? $50?” This quote is from a newsletter of an American based organization working to stop any agreement at the UN that might possibly be understood to mean that women can have a choice in their reproduction. It is quite ironic to see the violence in the language, beat back the radicals, from a group who are working at the UN meeting devoted to ending Violence Against Women. Being here at the UN makes you feel in your body and soul that maintaining and advancing freedom of choice for women (and men) is a battle and not everyone fights fair. Some of our Dutch civil society friends attended a panel in which the two main speakers where ...
