TEXT: #EMPTYCHAIRS CAMPAIGN @AWID Forum What’s a feminist like you doing in a place like this? A conversation on global governance 4 December 2024 14:30 - 15:45 ICT Room: TBC Hybrid modalities will be available for this event https://www.emptychairscampaign.org/ photo: al-Haq Logos: AWID, emptuchairs campaign, SRI What’s a feminist like you doing in a place like this? A conversation on global governance This session aims to discuss the multiple crises of multilateralism and possibilities for collective mobilisation and systemic change, with insights from feminists who engage within the system itself. The ability of the international human rights system - and in particular, the multilateral institutions tasked with advancing human rights for all - has long been questioned by feminist and social justice activists. History is littered with examples of tragic failures - from Rwanda in 1994 to Palestine now - the UN has consistently failed to prevent and end genocides. An ecosystem captured by rich Northern states and corporations prioritises elite interests. The system sidelines what it can’t capture or coopt from civil society. An example of this is the system’s favouring rights related to gender and sexuality over rights related to development and the economy. This conversation will bring together people working in varied multilateral spaces and analyse the similarities and differences of dynamics within the WTO, the UN HRC, and CSW, among others. The conversation will also address the way feminist and queer analysis needs to confront cooption in the multilateral system. It will explore the spaces and their entry points, the sites of resistance and the potential for organising for systemic change. Join us for this exciting conversation, which will interrogate where collective advocacy should be headed and the possibilities for feminist collective action and mobilisation.

The participants are part of the show, which is a workshop and an action and above all, it is part of a campaign: the #EmptyChairs This work is a collaboration between the #EmptyChairs campaign and Swiss-based artists Antje Schupp and Christoph Rufer which blurred the boundaries between theatre, protest, and advocacy.
