We are witnessing an antifeminist backlash worldwide. Hard-won achievements are being questioned or even retracted, and feminist civil society is increasingly under attack. At the same time, feminist actors in Georgia or Ukraine face very different realities than groups in Poland or Germany. How are grassroots actors responding in these different contexts? How can they support one another across borders? And what can they gain and learn from an transnationalist perspective?

Join us for a panel discussion with:

• Hanna Grzeskiewicz for Filia, Die Frauenstiftung: supporting projects for girls, women, and LGBTIQ* communities across Central and Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia
• Magdalena Pocheć for FemFund: a fund backing feminist grassroots initiatives and supporting women, girls, as well as trans, queer, and non-binary people in Poland
• Nora Noll for Amadeu Antonio Foundation: working to strengthen visibility and support for feminist actors in rural Eastern Germany
• Moderation: Sabine Herberth, Amadeu Antonio Foundation and expert for antifeminism

Expect a conversation about strategies under pressure, solidarity in unequal conditions, and what transnational feminist learning can look like in practice. The panel will be held in English.
