From the 8th to the 13th of September, the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum took place in Kandy, Sri Lanka. The 1st and 2nd editions were focused on food sovereignty and agroecology, while the most recent edition built on systemic transformation drinking from both struggles. For the World March of Women, since the 1st edition in 2007, Nyéléni has been an alliance of collective construction and a powerful platform where global popular movements develop together to create alternatives and dialogue agendas. It has also been a space to inspire and collectively organize mobilizations, popular actions, practices, and experiences.

Since the beginning, the World March of Women has been involved together with allied movements such as La Via Campesina and Friends of the Earth International. Last week, the delegation of the World March of Women was made up of 24 delegates from all regions of the world: Sri Lanka, Indonesia, the Philipines, India, Nepal, Türkiye, Kenya, Benin, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Macedonia, Georgia, Algeria, Tunisia and the United States.

The feminists from WMW were involved in building a political platform to guide the next years of movement and alliances. For this, they brought feminism as a fundamental tool for transformation. They are struggling for a feminist economy based on the sustainability of life through agroecology, care, and access to common goods.

An online meeting was held one month prior to the Forum, and the first face-to-face conversation was on the 6th of September, prior to the event. Then, on the 7th, in alliance with La Via Campesina and other movements, the Women´s Assembly was a very relevant moment to debate feminist proposals for the common agenda. Close to the end of the Forum on the 13th, feminists from the WMW met once again to discuss on the two main documents of this Nyéléni: the Common Political Action Agenda and the Kandy Declaration. Between this time, articulation was ongoing such as in the corridors and during meals. Also, on the opening ceremony on the 8th of September, Miriam Nobre, coordinator of the WMW in Brazil, participated by sharing stories like about the 1st edition of Nyéléni in 2007 in Mali and the 70th anniversary of the Conference of Bandung from 1955 and decolonization processes. As Miriam concluded her talk and as continued to be underlined throughout the Forum: Systemic Transformation is now and forever.
