From September 8th to 11th, the Making it Work (MIW) team will be participating in the AWID Forum 2016, an international gathering of broad movements and sectors revolving around gender and feminism themes. The topic this year is “Feminism Futures: Building Collective Power for Rights and Justice”, and the topics of gender and disability will be discussed – more specifically, gender-based violence.
