CSW69: From Beijing to today and beyond: Funding feminist movements to win
Meeting the moment: What is next for the feminist funding ecosystem?
Date: 10-03-2025Time: 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm EDT (New York time)Location: Scandinavia House, 58 Park Ave, New YorkNote: invite only!
Over
the past 30 years, feminist movements worldwide have catalyzed
transformative change — from the legalization of abortion and the
creation of laws to support survivors of violence, to spearheading
efforts to defend democracies and protect the planet. During this time, a
dynamic feminist funding ecosystem has taken root and flourished to
support and sustain the wins of the past 30 years. Despite these
advancements, shifting dynamics threaten the progress made to date.
This invite-only event at
CSW69 will bring together leaders from feminist movements and funding
communities to have a candid and thought-provoking conversation about
what they have learned about funding feminist movements, where they are now,
and how they must move forward — both within our institutions and
collectively — to meet this critical moment. They will ask speakers to
reflect on the difficult and complex questions facing us, including how
we navigate the anti-gender actors’ increasing influence in the funding
landscape, how to respond as longtime funder allies exit the field, and
what these leaders’ visions and hopes for the future of funding feminist
movements.
