Feminist Movement for Change in Syria annual convening

July 17, 2021 @ 8:00 am - September 30, 2021 @ 5:00 pm CEST

The annual convening under the “Feminist Movement for Change in Syria” project took place virtually this year. WILPF held two two-hour long online sessions with its Syria partners on March 23 and 25, offering a space for collective reflection on the past 10 years, since the revolution in Syria broke out.

Partners shared highlights and success stories on the movement, organisational and personal levels.

On the second day, three feminist activists from Sudan joined WILPF’s Syria partners in a cross-regional exchange session to foster feminist movement building, and to discuss and learn from each others’ experiences.

Bullying

Bullying is any abusive practice or behaviour directed by an individual or group of individuals towards another individual or group. Bullying can be considered a form of harassment that is more frequent and systematic. It aims not only to violate the receiving party, but also to belittle them. Bullying is characterised by being targeted at a person or group of people, while harassment need not be targeted.
