Every evening of our meeting was open to participant-led workshops on topics of their choice, theoretical or practical. Today, we had back-to-back workshops on progressive discourses on sexuality and the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Diversity is a key value of our network, which we will be ready to officially launch tomorrow. The strong need and excitement around the idea of our network is evident, but what is more noticeable is the stronger need to organize it with entirely new strategies and discourses. We managed to wrap up a structure, policies, bylaws, and lots of technical issues to get this network going. We’re excited about sharing the final results of our meeting with you all next week!

Today, a bunch of us arrived in Cairo, Egypt in preparation for our meeting to design and launch a network of peer support for young feminists in the Arab world. Exciting!

I have big hopes set for this meeting (organized and led by women under 30) and for a new wave of young feminism that is of and for our region. The first thing I want to share with you is that we set out from the beginning to be a network that depends very little on money. Read the full post here.
