South African Feminist Forum

Following the gathering of South African women at the AWID forum in Cape Town in November 2008, as well as resolutions from taken at previous regional African Feminists Forum, feminists living in and from South Africa are coming together for reflection, alliance building and to explore the possibility of establishing a South African Feminist Forum. The two day meeting will take place in Cape Town from the 20th to 21st of October 2011.
The meeting will draw on the creative collective feminist experiences and organisation in South Africa in order to develop a process for moving forward with a bigger group of feminists. It is also a space to gain a better understanding and develop conceptual clarity of feminism and women’s/feminist movement in south Africa in order to develop a road map to host the next regional African Feminist Forum in 2012.

This page will be used to share the discussions from the meeting and the final outcomes of the two day meeting. The two day creative space is a start, we are inviting more input to those of you who could not attend the meeting in person so that we add your name to the bigger group. You can also follow the discussions on twitter using the hashtag #SAfeminists Or talk to us on our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/WomensNet/170417333020351
