COFEM Feminist Pocketbook

Feminist Pocketbook Tip Sheets

Array

In 2018, COFEM launched the Feminist Pocketbook, a series of ten short tip sheets that discuss the importance of feminist-informed approaches to addressing VAWG (i.e. GBV). The Pocketbook can be used as a whole to facilitate discussion about GBV work, or individual tip sheets (downloadable below in Arabic, English, French and Spanish) can be used to promote learning on specific issues. The goal of the Pocketbook is to empower practitioners, researchers and activists to help their colleagues, organizations and other stakeholders improve advocacy, policy and programming efforts by promoting a common theoretical ground for shared understanding and action.
