Project: Global Learning Hub for Women’s Voice and Leadership: Weave, Learn and Transform (WVL)”

The AiW is implementing the “Global Learning Hub for Women’s Voice and Leadership: Weave, Learn and Transform (WVL)” project, with the support of the International Development Research Center (IDRC) and Global Affairs Canada (GAC).

This project is implemented through a consortium of academic and civil society partners comprising Gender Sphere (India), FLACSO (Argentina), Femnet (Kenya) and AiW (Lebanon and the Arab region). Over four years, the consortium will establish a Southern-led, feminist, and decolonial Global Learning Hub that promotes collective learning, knowledge exchange, and collaboration among women’s rights organizations across regions.

This Global Learning Hub is built around three interconnected pillars:

1. Feminist Knowledge Synthesis and Translation: Synthesizing and translating feminist knowledge into accessible, multilingual resources that support learning and advocacy.   
2. Capacity Bridging: Supporting peer-led learning, participatory approaches, and feminist methodologies to build and strengthen organizational and collective capacities.   
3. Community of Practice: Building a cross-regional network that fosters solidarity, reflection, and coordinated action among women’s rights organizations.

The project is currently in its inception phase. During the first year, the consortium, together with the four regional hubs in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe, as well as the women’s rights organizations across these regions, is collaboratively developing a shared learning agenda rooted in feminist principles. This agenda is being shaped through participatory dialogues, sensemaking workshops and collective reflection processes that respond to partners’ priorities, experiences, and challenges.

Building on this agenda, the consortium will establish and foster a horizontal, cross-regional Community of Practice that facilitates sustained peer-to-peer learning, collaboration and solidarity among partners. Throughout the project, the Community of Practice will support the continuous synthesis, documentation, and dissemination of feminist knowledge. Partners will also co-develop inclusive, multilingual, and accessible learning resources that reflect emerging insights, strategies, and reflections from WVL partners. These resources will be made available through a virtual learning platform, ensuring broad access and long-term sustainability of the knowledge generated.
