Throughout history, feminists across the world have stood at the forefront of anti-war movements, advocating for peace, justice, and the protection of vulnerable communities. In this lecture, we will explore over a century of feminist resistance to war, examining how women and gender-diverse activists have challenged militarism and violence through advocacy, literature, and grassroots organizing.
We will also discuss key feminist anti-war movements from the past two decades, looking at how contemporary feminists continue to resist war and militarization—whether through global protests, policy work, or intersectional activism that connects war to broader issues like environmental justice and economic inequality.
This conversation is about understanding the deep history of feminist anti-war advocacy and how it remains as vital today as ever. Join us as we examine the ways feminists have shaped—and continue to shape—global conversations on peace and justice.
