Women’s
organisations regularly share alarming information about threats
against and hindrance to the work of civil society groups, and
particularly against women’s and LGBTIQ+ activists. This was the
starting point for the international four-steps-project which Filia
developed together with Women’s Funds in Armenia, Georgia, and Ukraine
and in cooperation with grassroot women’s organisations. In a first
step, data and stories about threats to the work of civil society actors
were collected. The second step consisted of sharing and discussing
these results in each country. For the third step, 5 online workshops
were held to collectively develop and design a transnational social
media campaign. The last step was the campaign launch on social media
on November 29th , the International Women Human Rights Defenders Day.
Because of the war, the Armenian partners launched their messages on
March 8th in 2021. A “Campaign-Together-Guide” documents the process and
learnings, methods and examples, and it is available very soon here: www.campaigntogether.guide
