Although originally created in order to develop a common language, and history within the JASS community, we quickly realized the dictionary’s potential as a vehicle for the political act of defining our world based on a distinct feminist perspective – one that recognizes how distortions in social, economic, and political power form the basis of inequality and justice.
Building on the 1st edition, this updated version incorporates the feedback of a number of reviewers within the JASS community. It is built on the collective expertise and experience of JASS’ community of feminist popular educators, scholars, and activists from 27 countries in Mesoamerica, Southeast Asia, and Southern Africa.

This is a 5-module toolkit for women activists and defenders?everywhere. “It is part of our work on offering activist tools for the political moment. This toolkit takes a topic often handled in very technical and individually oriented ways (safe houses, window bars, panic buttons) to a feminist and movement approach (contextual awareness, risk analysis in the context of power and gender dynamics, linked strategies for organizing and safety, etc). It links risk analysis for activists to power analysis, gender impacts and movement strategies for greater safety in risk contexts.”
