Fòs Feminista
Fòs Feminista is an intersectional feminist organization centered around the sexual and reproductive rights and needs of women, girls, and gender-diverse people. Led and governed by the Global South, Fòs Feminista works as an alliance of organizations in 40+ countries worldwide to advance sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice. Fòs Feminista is both the connective tissue that links these diverse partners in an alliance and an active participant in the broader ecosystem of actors working on sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice (SRHRJ). Fòs Feminista orchestrates transnational and transregional action by connecting partners throughout the SRHRJ ecosystem, amplifying innovative partner-led solutions to SRHRJ issues, and catalyzing funding and political will for an intersectional feminist agenda on SRHRJ.
We recognize that the ability of women, girls, and gender-diverse people to make free and informed choices about their sexual and reproductive lives, including to access safe and legal abortion, is central to their life plans and to achieving gender and reproductive justice. Together with partners in the Alliance, we provide access to sexual and reproductive health care and services, including contraception, abortion, and care for victims of gender-based violence, and we reach young people with comprehensive sexuality education. We are at the forefront of advocating for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) from an intersectional lens in national, regional, and global spaces, coordinating with our partners to ensure that diverse experiences, priorities, and voices of the Global South are represented in these spaces. And we strengthen intersectional feminist movements and organizations by creating and holding space for partners to participate in an international community built on feminist values of sharing power, diversity, mutual learning, and solidarity and to access resources to strengthen their work.
Background for consultancy
AMAZE is an initiative of experts in Comprehensive Sexuality Education - Advocates for Youth - focused on providing children and adolescents between 10 and 14 years old with engaging, relevant, and evidence-based educational materials they can access online. Using short, animated videos (2-3 minutes), AMAZE strives to offer adolescents and young people access to the answers they want and need to make free and informed decisions and to support their healthy physical and emotional development.
Since 2018 Fòs Feminista has been the Regional Coordinator for the AMAZE LAC program, part of the AMAZE International program, operated in collaboration with Advocates for Youth and funded, in part, by the WestWind Foundation.
Within this capacity, Fòs Feminista has coordinated the dissemination of the AMAZE LAC brand throughout the region, through public and virtual events and our social media channels. Additionally, Fòs Feminista has supported the adaptation and presentation of culturally appropriate AMAZE videos by partners of our Alliance throughout the region. To date, 129 videos have been adapted in Latin America and the Caribbean with the support of Fòs Feminista. As part of the strengthening and consolidation of AMAZE LAC, Fòs Feminista has also operated the WestWind Awards, a program founded by the WestWind Foundation to promote CSE in the region, including through the use of AMAZE videos and other AMAZE educational resources.
The coordination of AMAZE LAC by Fòs Feminista has been carried out through an internal team which, in collaboration with the AMAZE International team, has remotely implemented the expansion of AMAZE in the region.
