Over the past year, WEDO has been marking its twentieth anniversary. Motivated by those who have come before us and who continue to work alongside us as mentors, peers and partners, we have delved into our collective history, marveling at the stories, the moments of transformation, the ebbs and flows of challenge and victory.
While inequalities and inequities endure, while the global crises that drove WEDO’s founding persist or are (as some surely are) worsened, and while fundamental counter-forces continue to threaten to roll back progress, in pockets around the world and in historic milestones at the global community level, a revolutionary momentum has remained tireless. This history in the pages ahead is not meant to be exhaustive – far from it. It is unabashedly subjective – each moment a stone in the foundation for work ahead – highlighted partly because, in gearing up for Rio+20, a milestone for WEDO, as well as for the wider women’s, environmental and development movements, we all seek inspiration. It is so easy to become frustrated – especially as many of the same issues and the same rhetoric flood the table once again.
But we go on. Among Bella’s remarkable qualities was her tremendous capacity for optimism. She drew inspiration and motivation from all the women around the world with whom she worked. She celebrated them and, in so doing, she celebrated the momentum of this movement. In turn, we celebrate the countless individuals, organizations, networks and movements who have contributed to every bit of this shared history – from tiny flickers of progress to long-lasting change.
