But Read More Watch the recording here The global reckoning for racial justice and the increasing calls to shift-the-power have placed decolonization firmly on the global agenda. But what progress have we made towards decolonizing the international development sector and our organizations? Activists, sector leaders, and academics will gather to critically assess progress made in establishing an anti-racist sector, explore best practices and accountability measures geared towards decolonizing our organizations. Panelists will have a vital moment to re-imagine feminism, one that embraces intersectionality, challenges colonial legacies, includes counter-narratives, and centers indigenous knowledge. Attendees will have an opportunity to critically reflect on their own feminist frameworks and consider how to engage in more inclusive and decolonized practices in their work.
