Advocates to the Front! 2024 WSCADV Conference

Abolition Feminism 101 will offer workshop participants a chance to become familiar with the radical orientation to anti-violence work that is based on principles of abolition feminism.  It will include a review of the genealogy of the movement that has been led by Black feminists and other feminists of color and discussion of the ways that abolition feminism enables a more justice-oriented approach to ending gender violence.  Topics will include a critique of carceral feminism and examples of abolition feminist praxis, including presentation of specific analytical and organizing tools.  Participants will be invited to create and share long-term strategies that they can embrace in the work for freedom.
