The Definition of Feminism

Feminism is a tool for the liberation of all, except those rightfully incarcerated, with the understanding that all people are confined or restricted by the patriarchy.

Feminism is an inclusive, capacious paradigm in which there is equality, equity, and justice for all persons regardless of their intersectional identity.

Feminism considers, acknowledges, respects, and nurtures each individual's complex positionality, honoring the way in which each person moves through life.

Feminism's scope must not be limited to particular bodies but inclusive of all those suffering from the impacts of misogyny.

Feminism is intersectional and relates to all aspects of existence, i.e., gender, race, age, sex, class, ability, education, sexual orientation, location, nationality, or otherwise.

Feminism considers environmentalism and animal rights.

Feminism is a response to patriarchal domination over mother earth, out of harmony with nature and reality. The effects of which further stratify and oppress the most vulnerable and marginalized parts of society.

Feminism rejects fascism and advocates for the precariat.

Feminism includes public health and wellbeing.

Feminism is like a quilt.

We believe that the sacred practice of Feminism is like sewing a communal quilt. An ongoing patchwork of ideas, concepts, beliefs, ethics and thought pieces. Instances of activism as well as its self-work.

Threads of Strength:

We believe that Feminism, at its core, is a sacred practice. Just like a beautiful communal quilt, it's a collective effort, woven together from the diverse experiences of females and allies.

Patchwork of Progress:

Each square in the quilt represents a unique perspective. It could be a groundbreaking Feminist idea, a deeply personal story of overcoming oppression, or an ethical framework for a more just society. These "thought pieces" become the building blocks of progress.

Stitches of Action:

The quilt isn't just about theory – it's about action too. Acts of Feminist activism, big or small, become the stitches that bind the quilt together. Marches, protests, and everyday acts of challenging the status quo are all vital threads in the fabric of change.

Self-Work as the Binding:

But Feminism isn't just about external change. It's also about internal transformation. The "self-work" – dismantling internalized sexism, challenging societal expectations, and embracing our power – becomes the binding that holds everything together.

A Tapestry of Power:

Through the collective effort of creating this quilt, a powerful image emerges. It becomes a testament to the strength, resilience, and unwavering commitment to equality that defines Feminism. It's a beautiful and ever-evolving piece of working Design, a story of ongoing progress, and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
