Survey - Young Feminist Global Survey

Background and use of survey: This research, led by Our Collective Practice, responds to the urgent need to highlight and document the central role of young feminist girls and women in driving systemic transformation, both historically and in the present. In a context marked by rising global authoritarianism and interlinked crises that deepen inequalities and violence, recognizing, resourcing, and following their leadership is not only necessary but cannot be deferred.

By documenting their collective power, strategies, and contributions, this research aims to strengthen our capacity to advance just and sustainable structural change across multiple levels. It also contributes to building a feminist evidence base that calls for a redistribution of resources toward their struggles, and for programs, policies, and investments to be designed, led, and sustained by their voices, strategies, and lived experiences.

Your responses will be used solely for the purposes of this research and will be treated confidentially, in accordance with appropriate data protection and security standards.
At the end of the survey, you will have the option to enter a raffle for a chance to win one of five $200 USD honoraria. Your survey responses will remain completely anonymous.
