Zusammenfassung
  • This reflective essay examines the complexities, contradictions, and intersecting struggles shaping Zimbabwe’s feminist movement. The paper maps the evolution of feminist organising in Zimbabwe while highlighting contemporary trends, tensions, and emerging opportunities. The analysis is situated within a global context in which gains on gender equality are regressing, and feminist movements are facing intensified backlash. It challenges the dominant (male) narratives of a “shrinking civic space,” and argues that for women human rights defenders, political activists and leaders, sex workers, LGBTQ+ communities, and grassroots women, civic space has never been fully open. Instead, feminist movements have historically organised from the margins. The essay is written at a challenging moment for gender justice globally, however, the challenges open space for opportunities in feminist organising.
