Aid Talks will dive deep into how women and gender diverse peoples from the Asia Pacific region embrace, advocate and are ushering in feminist, just and rights-based solutions for lives, livelihoods and development justice.

Amid the long history of women’s and gender justice struggles and movements, we are now at a crucial junction and opportune moment for liberation through self-determination by pushing the gender justice agenda out of the margins and asserting its place in local, national, regional and global policy arenas.

Women and gender diverse peoples are serving at the frontlines, the impacts of the crises on them are a stark reality of ongoing injustices and inequality.

Join our panelists, from Karen Peace Support Network and Centre for Research and Advocacy, Manipur to answer key questions including the following:

 

1. How do we define gender justice?

2. How is it situated in the gamut of development, economic, social, racial and environmental injustices in the Asia Pacific region?

3. What were the conditions of marginalized Indigenous women, and gender diverse peoples prior to the pandemic and how has the pandemic exacerbated these?

4. What feminist perspectives and gender-just organising are being embraced in the response and recovery to COVID-19 and beyond?

5. How can donors, policymakers, and other key development actors be influenced to prioritize gender and development justice agendas?

6. How can we further foster solidarity for the liberation of women and all gender identities?

 

Women and gender diverse peoples are at the core of the fight against the multiple crises we face.
