Land, water, and traditional seeds are the lifeline of millions of people— particularly women, who serve as the primary guardians of food sovereignty. Yet, in West Africa, they are increasingly threatened by land grabbing and extractive economic models that marginalize women’s traditional land rights. Strong social and feminist movements are active in many West African countries, opposing these injustices and building alternatives based on solidarity—locally, regionally, and internationally.

We warmly invite you to this event that highlights struggles for land rights and feminist struggles in West Africa and focuses on international solidarity and global movement work. Our guest is Burry Tunkara, an activist from The Gambia and a member of the organizing team for the 2026 World Social Forum in Cotonou. Resilience is more than survival and to that note Burry will share accounts of the struggle against land grabbing, the importance of gender justice in these struggles, how local and regional alliances have emerged, and the role that international networking and solidarity play in this process.

Aktuelle Machtverschiebungen, wirtschaftliche Ungleichheiten zwischen Menschen und Staaten sowie eskalierende Konflikte strapazieren das internationale System mehr denn je.
Doch was bedeuten diese Umbrüche und Krisen konkret für die multilaterale Zusammenarbeit und insbesondere für das multilaterale Finanzsystem?

Um dies zu diskutieren, laden wir herzlich zu unserer Abendveranstaltung ein.
