🌈 #GenderingDemocracy No. 36 🪧 For decades, activists have worked to end gender-based violence through grassroots organising, legal challenges + public education. 📱But research by Eiman Alabdulghani shows that the digital world represents a powerful new frontier. #IWD2026 👉 bit.ly/4riwwwZ

🌈#GenderingDemocracy No.37 👩‍👩‍👦 A #RadicalFeminist politics of kinship asks us to interrogate the roots of how we live together: how we form families + share resources. At stake, says @victorhugoramirez.bsky.social isn't just #GenderEquality but the future of democracy itself. #IWD2026 👉 bit.ly/3N5ia55

Gracias a @francescafeo.bsky.social por acompañarnos en nuestro seminario del pasado miércoles y por una charla tan interesante. La grabación tiene algún pequeño fallo de cámara, pero el audio y las diapositivas se siguen sin problema. Aquí podéis verla: youtube.com/live/LoumU7F...

If you happen to be in Madrid, don’t miss the opportunity to join us. 8M is approaching, and having @francescafeo.bsky.social is a good way to remember the need to recognize and study the existence of gender inequalities in the political realm. Are you going to miss it?

The Vatican under Pope Francis was a driving force behind the movement against “gender ideology”. It has not only massively empowered anti-LGBTQ+ hostility but provided an essential building block for current gloabl far-right authoritarianism. It‘s infuriating to see the undifferentiated praise.
