In some cases, setbacks in one country are prompting progress in others. After witnessing the U.S. Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, the French government adopted a constitutional amendment guaranteeing a national right to abortion. And after Sweden reversed its feminist foreign policy, the Spanish parliament voted to enshrine Spain’s version in its development cooperation law.

I find that the women’s rights movement is doing a bad job of telling the story of (and learning from) our victories. Because our wins are often less far-reaching or sensational than some of the high-profile setbacks, they are less likely to receive media coverage. This is a tragedy, because it means our narrative of social change is incomplete: We believe defeat to be final, when in fact the resistance is alive and well and effective. It’s our duty to tell those stories and to learn from them, too.

That’s why the Feminist Foreign Policy Collaborative is launching a global repository of the world’s progressive victories for women’s rights. We’ve gathered groundbreaking policies on everything from abortion to feminist foreign policy, including archived texts that conservative governments have tried to disappear. We’ve crowdsourced policy briefs and advocacy resources and analyses of progressive victories in dozens of countries and amassed more than 600 resources in 16 languages. And now, our repository is open for policymakers, advocates, academics, and individuals from all over the world to continue to upload their resources and help us tell the successful story of the global feminist movement.

This one is very shocking, there's lots of things it covers: Abuse in general, religious abuse, psychological abuse, self harm, fat{phobia/misia}, misogyny, power dynamics etc. We still recommend watching it if you can deal with those things and the content warnings in the video because it shows the truth of the companies behind your favourite games and the systems which demand inexpense which leads to abuse and other awful things.

Funfact: AboTak! is a play of word - Abo is short for "abortion", Tak means "yes", together it will be translated as "just because".

Abortion Without Borders and Abortion Dream Team - the biggest abortion providers network in Poland and Europe opens their own clinic. But it's fully funded by individual donations, so abortionists ask you for support. Any, even the smallest, donation will be a huge help!

If you can organize some kind of fundraiser, like event/auction or anything else, please contact with AboTak via email kontakt@abotak.org

The more they try to ban abortion, the more we expose it to the sun. That's why WE OPEN THE FIRST STATIONARY ABORTION CLINIC IN POLAND! WE ARE OPENING AN ABOTAK CLINIC IN WARSAW!

We call ourselves the Abortion Dream Team, and for years we have been doing much more than the Polish state to expand access to abortion in our country. Eight months have passed since the change of power, and legal abortion or even abortion guidelines from the Ministry of Health are still not in sight. That's why we're not waiting idly for a change, and we're opening a space that will set standards and identify good practices of abortion care, put pressure on the government to introduce appropriate laws, and on doctors to learn how to do surgical abortions in accordance with WHO guidelines. It will also be a space where you can find our colorful sweatshirts and t-shirts, as well as works by Polish female artists and books in the climate of the ABOTAK clinic! But in order for this miracle on the Vistula to come to fruition, we need cash! Contribute to our fundraising for the premises and become an ambassador of ABOTAK clinic!

Kate has always stood loud and proud as a voice for body positivity and feminism.

The !feminism@beehaw.org community has long since become the largest Lemmy community. In acknowledgement of that, I have decided in consultation with @Gaywallet@beehaw.org to lock this community and redirect.

Personally, I am male and only took on the mod post to make sure Lemmy had a feminism community in the early days of Lemmy, so I'm happy to cede the title to a more vibrant community. If someone wishes to attempt to revive the lemmy.ml community, please get in contact.

The Palestinian brewery is now run by a woman, Madis Khoury, which adds an extra layer of complexity. “Being in a male-dominated country, an Arab country, and under occupation, it’s four or five times harder than anywhere else,” she says.

The Haitian people are once again facing imperialist interference in their fate. The island in the Caribbean is experiencing growing violence and systematic violations, control over territories by armed groups, repression, and subjection of the people’s interests to transnational capital. Living conditions in urban and rural areas are becoming dramatically worse. The access to food and the circulation of peasant production has been deeply affected. This is precisely why they are at the center of the popular peasant feminist resistance. Amid this situation, the UN, which has been historically responsible for military interventions that have led to increasingly profound social and political problems, is once again working in line with US imperialism. On the video below, Islanda Micherline, of La Via Campesina Haiti, denounces the role of countries in the Global North that, through the UN Core Group for Haiti, have been operating the new attempt to intervene in the country. Grassroots organizations and movements demand the 2021 Montana Accord, which expresses the unity of the Haitian people toward a peaceful political transition guided by people’s sovereignty. In rural and urban areas, Islanda argues, Haitian women propose economic strategies for this transition, in the sense of building agroecology, solidarity economy, and food sovereignty, goals that can only be achieved through the peoples’ self-determination and a people’s government. From across the Americas, women continue to stand in internationalist, anti-imperialist solidarity for a dignified, sovereign Haiti free from occupation. Islanda Micherline addresses the challenges facing Haitian peasant women and their strategies for self-determination and people’s sovereignty in the video below:
