Pour la première fois depuis des années, nous avons fait le choix de ne pas envoyer notre personnel à la CSW70.

Nous refusons le statu quo et voici pourquoi :

🚫 La violence aux frontières et les risques sécuritaires rendent les déplacements dangereux, en particulier pour les féministes de la Majorité globale.

🚫 Si l’engagement en ligne reste largement symbolique, la présence physique ne garantit pas davantage la possibilité d’avoir une véritable influence.

🚫 Le pouvoir politique réel offert par la CSW ne répond tout simplement pas à nos attentes et besoins collectifs.

Il ne s’agit pas d’un boycott : nous choisissons plutôt de nous organiser autrement, à travers de nouvelles formes de connexion, de mobilisation et d’apprentissage politique au service des mouvements féministes.

🔹 Atelier ouvert spécial CSW70 (19 février) pour comprendre les espaces multilatéraux et l’accès à la justice à l’ONU (inscription via https://bit.ly/4tyPTnY)

🔹 Pôles mondiaux organisés par les membres en Gambie et en Ouganda (suivez cet espace pour en savoir plus prochainement)

Que ce soit à la CSW, au Conseil des droits de l’homme ou à la COP30, notre priorité reste de faire en sorte que ces espaces de plaidoyer multilatéraux servent réellement les mouvements féministes : qu’ils soient accessibles et efficaces.

In Uganda, recently there has emerged a new form of gender based violence targeting women and likely to displace children- DNA testing. Due to the social economic challenges cropping up in homes,men have taken it upon themselves to do DNA testing without the willing participation of both children and wives.
As we know there are various reasons why the test may not match,such reasons are foregone as those at the centre of the tests are already emotionally charged. We have had issues where babies are switched at birth, but since the tests are only done against the father, such cannot be ascertained.
We therefore urge the general public to seek social psychological support before and after doing the tests, involve all the parties,rule out other possibilities of the results not matching and finally come to a mutual understanding that will not lead to displacement of children.

The DVA Coalition Retreat on movement building. Our engagement involved and centered around
1. Accountability- how a lack of accountability undermines work to address violence against women and girls
2. Review of the DVA coalition clusters and adapting new approaches to addressing violence against women and girls.
3. Male engagement- how to positively and strategically involve men in addressing violence against women and girls.
