FEMglocal – Glocal feminist movements: interactions and contradictions is a research project that aims to analyse glocal feminist movements grounded in the Portuguese context, to map feminist activist movements in Portugal, studying their history, their life flows, their internal and external communication dynamics, as well as the interactions and contradictions between the global and the local, the digital and the face-to-face. It intends to contribute to recover the historical memory of social invisibility of feminist movements in Portugal, focusing on social mobilisation, communication and media visibility strategies.

Documentary
The FEMglocal documentary will be the outcome of the literature review and empirical work conducted throughout the research project. Its primary objective is to present a diverse narrative of feminisms in the Portuguese context, emphasizing distinctive national characteristics within the feminist movement. Additionally, it also seeks to raise awareness among diverse audiences regarding Portuguese feminisms, challenging dominant narratives, and contributing to the recovery of the historical memory of feminism(s) in Portugal.
More information about the FEMglocal documentary coming soon.
The booklet “História dos Ativismos Feministas em Portugal” [History of Feminist Activisms in Portugal], developed within the scope of the FEMglocal project, seeks to stimulate public discourse, especially within educational settings, about feminist activisms and gender issues. Additionally, it aims to foster reflection on the singular narrative of feminism, deconstructing it through a logic of situated knowledge.
By revisiting events and figures related to feminist activisms in Portugal, the booklet tries to reintroduce into History the memory of Portuguese activists and their struggles. This serves as a contribution to education for gender equality/feminisms and, consequently, human rights.
Designed for individuals across various age groups, the booklet prioritizes accessible language and incorporates external links (videos, reports, maps, among others) to stimulate curiosity and encourage further exploration of additional information related to the discussed concepts.
We invite you to read and use this booklet as a pedagogical tool in both formal and non-formal education strategies.
