On September 10-11 2025, we hosted the first-ever online Feminist Leadership Convening, with 34 speakers in 20 sessions attended by a cumulative 1000+ participants. The programme included live music, somatic and creative practices, participatory workshops and lectures on topics ranging from storytelling and measurement to tech justice and the role of Feminist Leadership in democracy.
To make the Convening accessible to those who were not able to attend, we are pleased to present key takeaways from four sessions:
- Navigating Leadership Transitions in the Feminist Ecosystem, hosted by RESURJ
- Coming soon: Humanitarian Aid, Decolonisation and Accountability, hosted by Dr. Philip Proudfoot (IDS)
- Resisting and Reimagining: Feminist Governance in an Era of Shifting Systems, hosted by Akina Mama wa Afrika
- Coming soon: Decoding Anti-Gender/Anti-Democracy Narratives, hosted by Just Futures Collaborative
To access recordings of all sessions from the Convening, sign up for the Feminist Leadership Hub for free.
The Feminist Leadership Convening: Reimagining Leadership in Polycrises was made possible in partnership with the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Global Unit for Feminism and Gender Democracy.
