The 25th International Congress of the Purificación Escribano University Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies held from 18 to 26 March 2021 has highlighted the need to understand feminisms in the plural, in its task of including diversities and overcoming an identitary subject of women which, because it is singular, has often left behind situations and experiences of "other" women (racialised, impoverished, indigenous, non-heteronormative, trans and many others), and to commit to a feminism (in which many feminisms fit) that is intersectional; that is, that contemplates, integrates and includes these "other" realities. "All of this requires an epistemic revolution, a transformation of knowledge and of how we understand life, the forms of appropriation of life and the structuring of power. This revolution has already begun, but it needs to be pushed forward. In this congress we have just made a small contribution to this feminist revolution", stressed the director of the congress, Sonia Reverter.

Over the course of nine days, the current international situation of feminism has been debated through 45 papers presented in videos and short texts that have been followed by the 150 people registered in this completely online edition. The international attendance, mainly from Spain and Latin American countries, has allowed for enriching dialogues on complex issues and with positions that are being experienced, mainly in Spain, as opposing and confrontational.

"These dialogues and meetings, held with the intention of understanding and not 'winning' the dialectical battle, I believe have been one of the best results of the congress", Reverter points out. Apart from the guest lectures, the congress had eight thematic blocks in which the papers were grouped into different themes, from motherhood, sexualities, violence, care, activism, theoretical debates on feminism, feminist pedagogies to feminist perspectives (art and communication). "We have gone through the main challenges that the feminist agenda faces today. We have learned about the necessary resistance that feminisms must continue to put up in the face of an increasingly neoliberal and market-oriented reality, and also increasingly threatened by the emergence of populisms and fascisms. Neoliberalism and fascism have much in common, as both produce inequalities", she adds.

According to the congress, the feminist resistances that are taking place, mainly in Latin America, have been an important reason to feel that feminist theory and action must go hand in hand in order to achieve major social, cultural, educational, political and economic transformations. Along these lines, the different movements around the world that are engaged in large-scale struggles to achieve a feminist future of true material equality were also highlighted; struggles which, it was stressed, should not stop because there is still a long way to go, but which will bear fruit.
