New Challenges — New Opportunities: How We Welcomed Summer 2025 at the Feminist Networking Event

posted in: Publications | 0

In response to the unprecedented challenges of our time — full-scale war, geopolitical instability, socio-economic crises, and environmental threats — we gathered as a circle of feminist activists, experts, and organizational leaders at the Feminist Networking event. New challenges call for innovative approaches, alliance-building, and acts of solidarity.

Over the course of three days, we engaged in strategic thinking, redefined our roles, reassessed our resources, and aligned our shared goals. We are united by a vision of an inclusive and just future rooted in intersectional feminist values.

Among the participants were representatives of feminist initiatives, Roma human rights organizations, the LGBTQI+ community, the humanitarian sector, research and artistic communities, and experts in accessibility, psychosocial support, environmental protection, and animal rights.

We spoke about what unites us, the challenges we face, the resources we hold, and the goals we strive toward together. The event created a space for collective visioning, strengthening connections, and fostering solidarity.

We paid special attention to self-care in times of crisis. Guided by the “peer-to-peer” principle, we held workshops on bodily self-regulation, yoga, art therapy, and shared circle practices — all serving as spaces for healing and support.

Thank you to everyone who took part — for your presence, depth, and trust. We are together — and that is our strength.
