Forum 2023 was attended by over 1809 participants from more than 23 countries, including: +250 face-to-face participants +400 virtual participants +1159 participants via rebroadcasts in 9 countries Co-constructed with several women defenders and their organizations, the Forum 2023 agenda was highly ambitious, rich and dense. The days began with plenary sessions (4) and continued with parallel sessions (47) organized by XOESE or partner organizations participating in the Forum. These activities encouraged exchanges, discussions and reflections that enabled participants and resource persons to increase their understanding of the sources of funding they receive and the reasons for the conditionalities sometimes imposed on them, and to explore together possible solutions for overcoming the challenges of accessing resources and improving donor-recipient relations. They also provided an opportunity to tackle difficult issues, to discuss taboo subjects or simply those not on the women's rights agenda, such as the fundamental question of the holistic health and physical and mental well-being of women defenders.
