[Ftffacilitationteam] Transition from Wada Na Todo Abhiyan

[Ana Agostino]

MessageDear Lysa,

it was a surprise to us all to receive your message announcing that you will be leaving Wada Na Todo Abhiyan and the coordination of the GCAP work. As Feminist Task Force we first of all want to wish you all the best in your next commitment, wherever you go, and we are sure you will contribute to transformation with the same enthusiasm you have done as an active and committed member of GCAP and the FTF. We want to thank you for your contribution to our network as women working towards gender equality for the eradication of poverty. In particular we want to thank you for your contribution to developing the idea and the implementation of the FTF poverty tribunals. These tribunals had a great impact in those who presented testimonies, in those who heard and tried to act in response, and in the public at large that was sensitise in a very unique way of the sufferings, but also of the constant struggle and hope, of women in India, in Peru, in Egypt, in New York and in so many other places around the world. 

We were happy to have you as one of our members in the facilitation team and hope that wherever you go you will be able to continue to be a member of the Feminist Task Force.

A big hug from all of us at the Facilitation Team!

  Dear Helena, Irfan, Ciara, Julien, Oyebisi, Rosa, Ana, Chona, Ben, Sarah, Katsuji & Henri,

   

  Helena & Julien, thanks for connecting on the MTF agenda. I think this is a good time to share the conversations within Wada Na Todo Abhiyan about my own transition from the campaign secretariat. Our core programs for the year 2008-09 will be wrapped up by April end and I have accordingly have planned to move out at this time, which also marks the completion of 3 years of my engagement with the Wada Na Todo secretariat. We have just put out an ad for a new Campaign Co-ordinator and expect that we would be able to find a replacement for the position by April. 

   

  I would continue to relate to the planning and activities of GCAP till this time while also working with the Campaign Steering Group to identify other focal points within the campaign for spaces such as the MTF, FTF, etc who could take forward this engagement and work closely with the new Campaign Co-ordinator on this agenda post-April. My colleague Suman Dasgupta is already engaging actively with the Climate Change & G20 task groups. 

   

  However this mail is really to share that I do leave with a sense of great pride in what has been collectively accomplished by Wada Na Todo Abhiyan & GCAP in this period; deep gratitude for the insights, experiences and relationships that have been built; and great optimism for the future of the campaign. I do want to thank each one of you for being such great friends and co-travelers in this period- and assure you of a very special place in my heart (and hopefully by now also on my Facebook - please sign up if you haven't already!). I l also look forward to many more opportunities to engage with each of you - and with the added excitement of new destinations and perspectives.  

   

  Lots of love,

  Lysa
