Feminist Influencing Basket of Resources
by Oxfam
2024
Available in English
Together with our partners, we developed a Feminist Influencing Basket of Resources. The resource was woven collectively, honoring the work conducted by powerful movements, groups, and organizations within the feminist collective.
It all started with a question - why do existing influencing strategies not speak to most women, gender non-binary people, and other marginalized or silenced groups? How can we employ feminist principles in the influencing processes? How do we ensure that the influencing process is not a one-off event that is extractive, exhaustive, and harmful to the groups that it intends to serve? How can the development of the influencing strategy and process be done in a way that centers radical healing and care? How can we align our feminist principles into feminist collective action and influencing?
It's more than a feminist influencing resource; this basket is a movement. We invite you to explore with us.
How to talk about Civic Space: A guide for progressive civil society facing smear campaigns
by Israel Butler
2021
Available in English
This guide supports campaigners in responding to smear campaigns that undermine public trust in civil society organisations working on progressive causes. Drawing on research into public attitudes, it explores how such attacks are used by authoritarian actors to justify restrictions on civic space. Grounded in the EU context, the resource provides practical guidance on framing, including examples of effective narratives, messages, and approaches, as well as common pitfalls to avoid.
Migrant women: Narratives and perceptions
by Eleni Diker, Sydney Cohee, and Natalia Kossowska
2025
Available in English
This joint policy brief by UN Women and Oxfam explores how narratives about migrant women are shaped and why they matter. Using the Stereotype Content Model, it examines how public perceptions — from pity to admiration or contempt — influence visibility, rights, and well‑being. The brief highlights harmful frames across contexts and offers practical guidance for governments, media, and civil society to reshape narratives through gender‑responsive, human‑rights‑based storytelling.
