FHN Members’ Summit Report – Arusha, Tanzania, July 2025
This report captures the key moments, reflections, and collective strategies from the Feminist Humanitarian Network’s inaugural Members’ Summit. Bringing together 65 feminist leaders from across Africa, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas, Australia, and Europe, the summit was a space for rest, healing, solidarity, and strategy.

Our 2020 - 2025 strategy defines who we are, our vision, goal, and objectives, as well as how we work, defining our feminist approach and how we have embedded it across our systems, processes, and policies.

In the second half of 2020, women’s rights organisation (WRO) members of the Feminist Humanitarian Network undertook research in eight countries – Bangladesh, Kenya, Lebanon, Liberia, Nepal, Nigeria, Palestine, and South Africa – to understand the impact of the pandemic in humanitarian contexts.

This paper articulates the collective asks of the Feminist Humanitarian Network, voiced by our members from the Global South working on the frontlines of emergencies, and echoed by the INGOs that stand behind them, to commitment-making governments, donors, INGOs and UN agencies, on the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
