COMMUNITY ACTIVIST RESOURCES
WoMin works to develop resource and information materials to support women-led movement building, advocacy and campaigns for justice. These resources have often been inspired by conversations with women in communities, and sometimes built in direct collaboration with them. In the past five years WoMin has built a growing library for activists, thinkers, researchers and practitioners, constantly affirming our commitment to building ‘knowledge from below.

Launch | Right to Say NO Information Pack
Communities across Africa are organising to STOP large destructive extractive activities. They are saying NO to mega hydro dams, industrial food plantations and large-scale fishing, fossil fuel extraction, false technology solutions to climate change (such as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) or carbon capture in soil), and infrastructure, such as roads, rail, pipelines, and ports. In many resistances women play a central role because they have most to lose.
