The AWID International Forum is both a global community event and a space of radical personal transformation. A one-of-a-kind convening, the Forum brings together feminist, women’s rights, gender justice, LBTQI+ and allied movements, in all our diversity and humanity, to connect, heal and thrive.
A feast for the mind, respite for the body
When people come together on a global scale, as individuals and movements, we generate a sweeping force. Join us in Bangkok, Thailand and online in December 2024.
Come dance, sing, dream and rise with us!

Rising Together: Connect, Heal, Thrive
The Forum theme – Rising Together – is an invitation to engage with our whole selves, to connect with each other in focused, caring and brave ways, so that we can feel the heartbeat of global movements and rise together to meet the challenges of these times.
Our movements face challenges while collectively building strength for the future. We seek to emphasize the need for connection and healing, and address power imbalances within our movements.
By working and strategizing in interconnected ways, the AWID Forum plays a crucial role in sustaining, growing, and transforming global feminist organizing.
