Session Descriptions:
The Feminist and Women’s Movement Action Plan (FWMAP) and Action Coalitions
9,10 & 11 March 11:00 – 12:30pm & 4:00 – 5:30pm
Do you have ideas for action during Beijing+25 on a transformative framework for gender equality and women’s empowerment that breaks silos? If so, you should join these conversation circles on the Feminist and Women’s Movement Action Plan (FWMAP) on March 9,10 and 11.
The purpose of these FWMAP conversation circles is to exchange views on how to ensure that Beijing+25 takes action “bottom-up–with feminist human rights.”
These sessions are organized by Feminist and Women’s Movement Action Plan drivers Soon-Young Yoon, UN Representative of the International Alliance of Women and Melissa Upreti with Krishanti Dharmaraj of the Center for Women’s Global Leadership.
(Facilitated by NGO CSW/NY as convener of the Global Advisory Working Group for Beijing+25)
Transformation through Inter-Connectedness

In this participatory workshop, we’ll generate pathways to renew ourselves as leaders on the frontlines of transformation for gender equality. We will learn practices to ground our leadership in presence, wholeness and connection to build unified and supportive pathways to create new paradigms for people and planet.
We will leave with practical tools for centering and mindfulness, deep listening, and moving through conflict in generative and productive ways. We will co-create interconnected leadership that honors self, other and nature to create joyful activism to usher in a new world. Come – let’s dream a new world together.
