On Monday, 20 April 2026, more than 60 participants joined our webinar on Gender and Urbanism in Southeast Asia! Our heartfelt gratitude to all of those who participated. We had the pleasure of hosting two early-career researchers, Amiel Lopez and Wenjing Qiu, for a powerful session that pushed us to rethink what cities are — and who they are for.From queer indigenous experiences of mobility and survival in urban Mindanao, to the everyday rhythms of waiting, care, and labour among women mussel processors in coastal Jakarta, the discussion centred urban life as fluid, unequal, and deeply gendered.

On 18 March 2026, we hosted our third webinar “Rights. Justice. Action. For All Women and Girls: Reflections and Practices on Feminist Participatory Grantmaking (FPG).” The session featured insightful contributions from Erika M Sales-Pronk (Mama Cash) and Jessica Horn (Author, African Feminist Praxis: Cartographies of Liberatory Worldmaking), who reflected on the evolving landscape of feminist philanthropy. The speakers highlighted both challenges and opportunities for feminist grantmaking.
