There has, in the past few years, been calls for a radical shift in how international aid and development cooperation are configured. Donors in the global North and the infrastructure surrounding them have been accused of upholding white supremacy and saviorism, mirroring past colonial relationships with decision-making power concentrated in the Global North.
The panel explores how feminist networks globally can work together to decolonize aid, while prioritizing collective care and reclaiming global sisterhood, intersectional organizing and feminist agenda setting

Her focus is on the feminist understanding of power and moving from coercive to transformative power.
