On November 30, I had the pleasure to take part in a webinar organized by Women in Development Europe (WIDE+) – the European network of feminist activists, scholars, and women’s rights organizations – Joint strategies of LGBTQI* rights and feminisms.
This 90-minute conversation focused on the question of how feminist and LGBTQIA movements can (and often do) come together to address violence and discrimination (including police and state brutality) as well as issues of access to health, services and housing.
Sharing the stage with two incredible activists – Emilia Márquez Pizano of Temblores in Bogotá, Colombia and Dayna Ash of Haven for Artists in Beirut, Lebanon – I was reminded of the importance of imagination when it comes to envisioning our futures, and how we are still able to create a hopeful tomorrow for the world, especially when we shift to creating spaces of community care rooted in intersectional approaches, rather than state surveillance and control aided by corporate interests.
The entire webinar is available on YouTube and viewable below.
