Feminist Standards for Governance: Women & LGBTQI+ people, Governance
Join us for four days of Feminist Standards for Governance from July 20-23!
On Sunday July 20, we'll be discussing two thematic areas – Women & LGBTQI+ people and Governance.
Equality Bahamas is facilitating a series of workshops to develop Feminist Standards for Governance which which will serve as a people's agenda for 2026 to 2031. The next general election in The Bahamas looms ahead, and with no fixed election date, it can be called at any time. Political parties will each produce a document with vague statements and promises based on their own priorities and beliefs about the people's needs, without consultation. We invite you to participate in the development of an alternative to partisan campaign material.
Equality Bahamas has designed a process to guide groups of people through identifying problems and their roots and working toward recommendations to address the issues at a systemic level. Feminist Standards for Governance workshops have nine streams or thematic areas—health, education, youth, women and LGBTQI+, environment, social services, labor and economy, arts and culture, and governance. We are facilitating workshops this month, drafting the people's agenda in August, validating with participants and community members in August, and publishing in September 2025.
