Their work is essential but underfunded, as it often does not meet donors’ compliance requirements. The session will interrogate how narratives of risk uphold colonial and patriarchal power dynamics and create barriers for women-led and feminist organizations on the humanitarian frontlines. Panelists will explore how we can reframe risk through a feminist humanitarian lens and share experiences and learnings (including Feminist Humanitarian Network research) to support collective solution-building.
