Who we are

Progressive feminist organisations standing against anti-gender anti-rights actors throughout Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and North America, advocating for democratic values and gender justice.

We’re a feminist, anti-racist, anti-colonial and intersectional collective committed to defending and advancing rights, justice, and democracy across our UNECE region and beyond. We bring together activists, organisations, and collectives who resist anti-rights backlash and create bold, alternative narratives and strategies. Our approach emphasizes continuous (un)learning between local struggles, regional and global advocacy spaces.

Our guiding principles

Feminist and intersectional

We are unapologetically feminist. Our politics are rooted in intersectionality, anti-racism, anti-imperialism, and decolonial thinking. We centre those most excluded from power — Roma, Dalit, Indigenous, Black and people of colour, LGBTQIA+ communities, sex workers, migrants, refugees, forcibly displaced persons, and people with disabilities — because justice must begin at the margins.

Bold resistance

We do not settle for defending the bare minimum. We push back against anti-rights, anti-gender, and far-right forces across the UNECE region — and we push forward for the full realisation and respect of human rights, gender equality, and fundamental freedoms for all. Our actions are bold, strategic, and unafraid.

Solidarity and care

We are a collective built on care. We show up for each other across borders and movements, especially in times of backlash, defunding and crisis. This is a space to learn, unlearn, strategise, and rise together — grounded in shared struggle and collective hope.

Progress over perfection

We embrace the messiness of movement work. We reject purity politics and perfectionism. Instead, we move forward together — with intention, reflection, and trust. Our strength lies in our willingness to act, adapt, and evolve collectively.

Decolonise, democratise, disrupt

We challenge colonial legacies, corporate greed and capture, and patriarchal institutions. Whether at the UN, in digital spaces, or on the ground, we organise to disrupt the spaces and dismantle the systems that hold marginalized communities back — and co-create the ones that can set all of us free.
