The 2025 campaign amplifies the efforts of feminist and Indigenous grassroots groups to resist and counter gender-based violence (GBV) by framing bodily autonomy as inseparable from self-determination, the right to protection, and ecological justice. It emphasizes autonomy as the power and right to experience pleasure, self‑expression, and self‑determination, while defending land and water and the right to care. By promoting flexible, context‑specific strategies and messaging, the campaign unites social justice movements under a shared vision.
This year’s updated campaign framework is shaped by the insights activists shared with us about their needs, both in its approach and in deepening the theme of bodily autonomy, to include the linkages with Indigenous rights, tech-facilitated violence, ecological justice, and intersex rights. The campaign is an iterative, collaborative process, and we look forward to your feedback and suggestions to make it more useful to organizers everywhere.
Grassroots organizers emphasize that bodily autonomy is deeply bound to sovereignty, liberation, and self-determination, intersecting with trans rights, disability justice, migration, reproductive justice, racial justice, and environmental justice. Economic and political barriers—like austerity and inflation—impede access to health and essential needs. particularly for marginalized groups, hindering bodily autonomy.
We encourage you to use and adapt campaign materials to spotlight these challenges, bridging the gap between individual bodily autonomy and the structural roots of inequality. By promoting flexibility and nuance in strategies and messages, the campaign unites social justice movements under a shared vision.
