Ang Paglalayag ng Dakbalangay: A Research on Collective Care
The main presentation will launch the results of the project, “Forging Intersectional Feminist Futures” (FIFF), which presents the findings of the Intersectional Care Needs Assessment Tool (ICNAT). The ICNAT was developed to help understand the collective burnout of human rights defenders, and to identify issues that FIFF partners (mainly civil society organizations) need to address as an intersectional network. The concept of intersectionality foregrounds the overlaps and links among different social, political, and economic issues, and points to greater coordination and collaboration among various advocacies.
Thirty-six respondents from various FIFF partners filled out the ICNAT, and the results were used to offer recommendations on how to address the burnout, and more importantly, to foster collective care among FIFF, if not among civil society organizations.
A project of ASEAN SOGIE Caucus, FIFF aims to (1) strengthen collective understanding of intersectionality and intersectional feminism, (2) develop regional and national cross- movement roadmaps for joint advocacy, and (3) document good practices and strategies for applying an intersectional approach.
