Genre et solidarité internationale: Évolution des approches au sein des associations françaisesL’année 2006 a constitué une impulsion commune aux deux organisations, avec des actions de plaidoyer en faveur d’une meilleure prise en compte du genre dans les politiques de développement et humanitaires menées par la Commission Genre et Développement de Coordination SUD et une première note relative au genre du côté du F3E. A partir de 2016, une nouvelle dynamique s’est enclenchée avec le projet « pour une transversalisation du genre dans les organisations de solidarité internationale » porté à la fois par Coordination SUD et par le F3E, sous financement de l’Agence française de développement (AFD). Depuis lors, les initiatives en faveur de la prise en compte et de l’intégration du genre se sont poursuivies et intensifiées. Coordination SUD s’est notamment dotée d’une stratégie 2023-2028 « En route vers 2030 » dans laquelle le genre apparait comme levier transformatif pour l’accompagnement des évolutions sociétales portées par les OSC et le collectif ; et dispose d’un groupe de suivi spécifiquement dédié à la question du genre. Le F3E a adopté en 2021 une stratégie intersectionnelle de genre (SIG), qui prévoit des actions en interne et d’autres tournées vers les membres.

Ramna Saeed - How PECA is Redefining Free Speech in PakistanThis video examines how Pakistan’s Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), originally designed to tackle cybercrime, has increasingly been used to suppress free speech. Through anonymized accounts of journalists, students, and content creators, the piece shows how vague rules and aggressive enforcement lead to self-censorship, silenced debates, and reduced public accountability. It highlights the gap between PECA’s promise to protect citizens and its real-world chilling effect on online expression and democratic discourse.
