SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Overall goal
The program focuses on SDG 5 – Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women and Girls. Multipliers and an interested public are sensitized to the feminist perspectives of women* from the Global South in various contexts, including the diaspora. The importance of this goal for the necessary global transformation toward sustainability, peace, and the rule of law (SDG 16) and partnership-based international relations (SDG 17) is addressed. The program thus contributes to greater gender equality by raising awareness of intersectional differences and concerns, raising awareness of various barriers, promoting open gender concepts, and mobilizing for international solidarity.
Expected results
Results Area 1 Education and Information Work :
Educational events in various formats will be held to expand the skills and empower 1,100 interested individuals and multipliers on topics related to SDG 5 and other gender-specific SDG goals. In addition, information and materials for feminist development education and communication will be prepared, available online to all interested parties and used in dedicated WIDE workshops.
Results of work area 2 Networking for gender competence and advocacy work :
WIDE brings together at least 45 organizational representatives, gender experts, and activists. They develop materials for WIDE's activities (Result 1) and support WIDE's advocacy work. Through European and international networking, WIDE multipliers can help shape and disseminate international feminist positions on "Gender & Development." They particularly address the topics of the annual Conference on the Status of Women (CSW), the implementation of the SDGs, paid and unpaid care work, tax justice, gender and climate justice, and women's rights in contexts of political repression and the lack of the rule of law.
