Objectives
The broad objectives of Fiesta Feminista are to:
- Forefront and popularise feminism in Malaysia such that anyone who has an interest in learning more about inequalities and injustice in society - but particularly between women and men - and who want to actively change this situation, has an avenue to do so;
- Bring together a broad range of people, particularly women, to discuss, exchange ideas, evaluate, and strategise around issues of feminism, human rights and democracy in Malaysia;
- Create spaces in which the next generation of feminist leadership in Malaysia can participate and take charge. This, it is hoped, will also be a leadership building activity and contribute to facilitating a smooth and effective transition between the current and future leadership of the women's movement.
Fiesta Feminista is guided by five principles. These seek to ensure that its activities do not promote patriarchy , fundamentalism , racism/ ethnocentricism/ xenophobia or neo-liberal globalisation policies .
As well, Fiesta Feminista is an environmentally-friendly initiative.
