From the Kurdish “World Women's Democratic Confederalism”, to the mobilizing power of the Women's Strike in Argentina, the experiences of Transfeminism occupying parliamentary positions in Brazil and the feminist lead revolution in Iran: these movements challenge oppressive systems with the desire to change everything. The debate aims at sharing and learning from each other's experiences as well as pointing out common grounds and differences, in order to reshape transnational feminist strategies for changing the very fabric of our world.

The primitive accumulation of capitalism was only possible due to the exploitation of the colonial project of Eurocentric growth, combined with the intersection of extraction of (un)paid labor from feminized bodies. How can knowledges such as Agroecology, ecofeminisms, territorial communitarian feminism, Indigenous and Afrolatinoamerican feminisms, and struggles linked to peasant, worker, non-cis-heteropatriarchal movements confront the existing monocultural worlds? The debate will address pluriversal paths of possible connections between feminist struggles and the right to territories and livelihoods from nondominant perspectives of buen vivir.

Anti-feminist politics have become the cornerstone of current neoliberal authoritarian regimes across the globe. Neoliberalism, though in different fashions, has gone hand in hand with the rise of authoritarian rule, far-right movements and religious conservatism, e.g. in Turkey, Argentina, Brazil or Poland. In these contexts the conjunction between neoliberalism and authoritarianism has intensified gender violence in various forms, for example as anti-abortion laws, anti-trans politics, state femicide or gendered impoverishment. The debate discusses the key strategies of each context for resisting various forms of exploitation of our bodies and of the extraction of vital resources. How do we reclaim life, despite increased neoliberal repressions?

Anti-migration rhetoric fueled by a renewed nationalism has been a defining issue for the new right in Germany. Within the past decade right wing movements raised concern for women’s safety as a key argument against migrants coming to Germany. These movements have been directly or indirectly supported by a conservative branch of feminism that positions migrant men as a threat to German and migrant women. How can feminist and antiracist movements resist this divide and rule?
