On May 7, 2021, the workshop “Inter-generational Dialogue on Women in Social Movements” was held at the Institute of Ethiopian Studies, Addis Ababa University[1], followed by a beautiful exhibition at the Modern Art Museum in Addis Ababa. The organizers, historian Netsanet Gebre-Michael and artist Helen Zeru, brought together researchers and activists from three generations[2]. Master’s students were actively involved in the organization of the event and contributed to its success. Famous members of the Ethiopian student movement of the 1970s (Aster Zewde, Netsanet Mengistu, Tadelech Hailemichael) interacted with younger activists (the journalist Befekadu Hailu, founder of CARD Ethiopia[3] and former member of Zone 9 Bloggers, Ruth Yitbarek of the Yellow Movement) and with researchers in the human and social sciences (Netsanet Gebre-Michael, Yonas Ashine). About fifty people attended the presentations and actively participated in the debates. The discussions were very rich and showed a strong desire to exchange, to understand the past and to define a coherent and inclusive feminist agenda. What directions should be followed in order to write a history of women in Ethiopia in order to meet the challenges of the present? How can we build strong links between women of different generations, social groups and nationalities to develop a common feminist agenda? It was a question of reflecting on women’s rights in particular as well as thinking about strategies for influencing the political field in general. As it is a challenge to reproduce the extreme richness of the debates, I propose to highlight some of the main themes discussed.
