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.

by Civil Liberties Union for Europe e.V

2025

Liberties has created a messaging guide to help communicators avoid the common pitfalls when talking about fighting violence against women and how they should build a persuasive narrative instead.

The guide:

  • Highlights the most common messaging mistakes you might be making when talking to a public audience,
  • Explains why these bad habits don't work or even backfire
  • Tells you how to build a narrative that builds public support for a violence-free life for women, including how to respond to gendered disinformation and improve their understanding of target audiences
  • Provides sample messaging that you can adapt to your own campaigns.

Un cambio narrativo para ampliar la conversación política. Aportes desde el periodismo feminista del Sur

by LATFEM

2024

Available in Spanish

This is a digital book that begins with the question of the contribution that digital activism and political communication can make to recovering a common future. LatFem invites us to consider the context of polarization and misinformation, to delve into the concepts of framing, narratives, and narrative change, and to rewrite our own definitions from the political South. It recounts the experience of the experimental laboratory with feminist journalists; and proposes a guide to rights-based communication from the perspective of narrative change.
