As civic space shrinks and global crises deepen, women-led movements are increasingly turning to narrative power and artivism to defend human rights, shift culture, and sustain democratic values. Through Women’s Learning Partnership’s global alliance of feminist organizations, partners like Bir Duino in Kyrgyzstan are creating spaces where storytelling, civic leadership, and public dialogue intersect.
On November 5, Women’s Learning Partnership (WLP) joined artists, activists, and movement leaders from around the world at the Second Global Artivism Convening in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, one of the most vibrant cultural capitals of the African diaspora. Our session, “From Protest to Performance: Artivism for Gender Justice,” explored how creativity fuels resistance, shifts social norms, and sustains feminist movements across the Global Majority.
