Reimagining Feminist Futures: Rising in Solidarity, Thriving out of Crisis

Theme: Reimagining Feminist Futures: Rising in Solidarity, Thriving out of Crisis

This year, we rise in resistance and solidarity, hope, and bold imagination. The 2025 16 Days of Activism urges us to envision feminist futures where justice is lived, healing is prioritized, and community is central. Yet reimagining demands of reckoning. Across the globe, efforts to end Violence Against Women face shrinking civic space, funding cuts, and escalating digital threats. Harassment, doxing, deepfakes, and surveillance are not just virtual; they carry real consequences for safety, mental health, and public participation.

Meanwhile, vital programs that support survivors and safe spaces are being dismantled—leaving those most vulnerable to bear the cost of inaction. This campaign is not only a call to action, but a plea for collective courage. Reimagining Feminist Futures: Rising in Solidarity, thriving out of Crisis reminds us that building the future we deserve takes vision, resources, and shared resolve.

As a member of the GBV Prevention Network, This year’s theme — Re-imagining Feminist Futures: Rising in Solidarity, Thriving Out of Crisis — is not just a slogan. It is an invitation to step into a deeper, more intentional kind of activism.

The theme reminds us that the feminist futures we imagine are already being shaped through our daily choices and actions.
