13/10/2022 | An Equal Relationship: Localisation and Power

In order to try and overcome the immense global challenges, complex crisis contexts and growing humanitarian needs, humanitarian actors need to rethink and reshape the way they collaborate and communicate - with communities and civil society but also other Organisations and Institutions on different levels. How can systems of collaboration be critically reviewed and improved from a feminist point of view, taking into consideration patriarchal systems, power imbalances and postcolonial structures? This also means looking at Localisation, Decolonialization and analysis of local needs from a feminist approach. How can synergies be mutual beneficial, more solidaric and sustainable, being a driver for transformation? What can humanitarian actors learn from more holistic approaches? How can they tackle structural causes of humanitarian needs and current crisis? What can we learn from other concepts such as Mutual Aid?
