ABOUT THE LECTURE:

How does the ongoing struggle of women’s and feminist movements contribute to democratization processes over time? Analyzing the ten most significant protests in Croatia since independence, this presentation shows how women’s movement actions create long-term legacies that continue to kindle further mobilizations. Utilizing a historical interpretation of struggles for democracy and feminist activism, I argue that the growing requests for participatory democracy initiated a horizontal ‘sidestreaming’ of feminism(s) to other social movements, communities and spaces in which they had not previously been present. Broad coalitions and networks within and outside of civil society, interconnecting communal grassroots protests, progressive social movements, and civil society ‘professionals’, linked the call for gender justice with demands for more participation.
