This circle focuses on the relations of coloniality that still forge and sustain international relations and peacebuilding today. Its key objective is to create a space to share translocal experiences of oppression, vulnerability and injustice in order to transform them into cross-border and collective feminist forms of resistance. As such, the circle will explore the global structures of oppression and offer a collective and feminist space of discussion to jointly contribute to the decolonization of knowledge and practice in peacebuilding. Its emphasis is on feminist solidarity and friendship as a point of departure to confront oppressions and privileges in all their complexity and globality. Through virtual discussion circles, the feminist decolonial circle wishes to reconnect our interdependencies, vulnerabilities, and struggles.
