#CSW69 ?? Thirty years after the #Beijing Conference, feminist movements are still confronting the forces that seek to silence, divide, and erase us. Yesterday, feminst activists gathered to reflect on what has changed, what remains the same, and how we must organize in this moment of intensifying backlash. ??? Here are some powerful takeaways from yesterday's conversation ???? ?? Feminist activists continue to face barriers to participation -visa restrictions, travel discrimination, and geopolitics limit access to spaces of influence.? ???The rise of right-wing and anti-gender movements fuels division, policing our bodies and voices. Militarization within UN spaces raises urgent questions: Who is being protected, and from whom? ?? Despite these challenges, feminist resistance is alive. We sustain ourselves through collective energy, cross-movement organizing, and the deep belief in our struggle. ???To reclaim power, we must dismantle silos and build radical solidarity across feminist, labor, land, climate, and peace movements. ???Securing control over our own resources is critical. Our agendas must be shaped by our movements, not dictated by external forces. #JustPower Gender at Work Count Me In! (CMI!)Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID)

? Beijing +30: Looking Back and Moving Forward ? Beijing wasn’t just a moment - it was a movement. A turning point where feminists refused to be sidelined, demanded radical change, and made history. ??? Three decades later, where do we stand? As attacks on our rights escalate, and as movements continue to resist and reimagine, what can we hold onto from that moment? Today’s powerful conversation reminded us that the current moment requires new organizing strategies and stronger solidarity. ?????? ?? Read the reflections of the feminist activists who joined us today and shared their organising stories from Beijing+30. #CSW69 #beijing #movementbuilding #justpower
