We are delighted to present to you Gender & Development's 100th Issue titled 'Revisiting Feminist Advocacy'. In this special issue, the authors examine feminist advocacy across spaces, constituencies, and processes. 

Contributors to this issue include academics, early career researchers, and activists practising diverse forms of feminist advocacy across physical and digital spaces and geographies. The contributions offer insights and experiences from a range of countries and regional contexts – Brazil, Chile, India, Türkiye, South Sudan, Vanuatu, the Great Lakes region in Africa, the LAC region and Europe, as well as across countries that have historical and cultural diasporic relations like India and the Caribbean. This special issue is co-guest edited by Awino Okech and Sohela Nazneen, who have produced valuable scholarship on feminist movement building and leadership for decades.
