✊ Organizing Feminist Political Proposals in the Americas: The Regional Meeting of the World March of Women

From November 21 to 24, representatives from 16 national coordinations of the World March of Women (WMW) convened in Santiago, Chile, for the “Nalu Faria” Regional Meeting of the Americas. Capire and the WMW Brazil’s Communicators Collective attended the event, the goal of which was to bring militants together and organize the organization’s strategic plan for the region, aiming at the 6th International Action of the WMW that will be held in 2025. To report on this moment, we collected statements about the discussions and produced a video with statements of participants, an analysis of the regional context, reflections on the activities for the year to come, and a photo gallery.

📖 Methodologies for Systematization and Synthesis: The Popular Feminist Political Subject

One of the main objectives of the International Feminist Organizing School “Berta Cáceres” (IFOS) is to develop methodologies and spaces for debate to construct a shared understanding of the feminist political subject. To capture the diversity and collective nature of the debate, the team proposed creating a mind map to organize the various aspects and complexities of the feminist political subject. We spoke with Carmen Díaz, a WMW militant and member of the IFOS methodology committee, and Ana Karen Navarro and Nátaly Nunõ, students at the Jesuit University of Guadalajara, about the process of formulating the mind map and the relevance of methodological tools that ensure the representation of the diversity of the process. We also shared an infographic with instructions to replicate the mind map in other processes of systematization and synthesis.

🌎 Global Governance of Peoples: Women’s Solutions for Hunger, Climate Change, and Poverty

In November 2024, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, hosted the G20 summit and the G20 Social meeting, a space for social movements to bring their demands forward and provide their criticism of the institution. In an analysis about the global context and women’s participation in this activity, Miriam Nobre of the World March of Women Brazil writes about how these global decision-making spaces are based on the interests of multilateral corporations and the very rich. Her article provides topics about the history of the discussion among movements and their proposals for tax issues, climate change agendas, and agreements to tackle inequalities. Read it here!

🌍 The Peoples of the World Against Wars and Genocides

During the G20 Social Summit, Capire spoke with representatives from La Via Campesina and the World March of Women about the key issues on the women’s movement agenda. They explicitly denounced the ways in which most states and multilateral institutions have been complicit in the Palestinian genocide. Watch the video above.
