Every other year, The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation asks women’s rights and queer rights activists around the world to fill in a survey with questions about their safety and security and the freedom they feel they have to conduct their work. This then allows us to publish a biannual ‘state of the world’ for feminist activists. We have been doing so for more than a decade; and it is with a heavy heart that we notice how it is becoming increasingly harder to fight for women’s and LGBTQI+ rights globally. Harassment is getting worse, administrative and legal obstacles are becoming more numerous, and funding is decreasing, from a bare minimum to next to nothing.
