Takatoat

We are a group of young feminist activists residing in Jordan. We believe in the power of feminist awareness and solidarity in changing narratives about women's causes and equality and in ensuring the rights of women and girls in all their diversity. In 2020, we began to organise as a group in the face of violent crimes against women and structural discrimination in the legal, social, economic, cultural, and political fields in Jordan, and we established a feminist collective that we called Takatoat (which means "intersections" in Arabic). The first goal of our group was to contribute to strengthening and supporting feminist action and movements in the Middle East and North Africa and to echo these experiences in Jordan. Mission: A feminist collective that contributes to building a feminist social movement capable of standing up to systems of discrimination, exclusion, oppression, and attrition; and produces and spreads feminist knowledge through safe spaces for girls and women in all their diversity. Vision: Diverse communities, conscious of their issues, enjoying justice, safety, freedom, and sustainability. Target groups: Young women (18-24 y.o.), women (25+ y.o.), women from rural and marginalised geographical areas, women from refugee and asylee backgrounds, women from religious and racial minorities, and gender diverse women.
