Abstract
- The NGO-ization of feminist movements, under conditions of financial dependence, profoundly transformed feminist activism, by brining upfront the paid/unpaid and militant/professional divisions. By looking at the transformations of the contemporary feminist movements in Belgium and Romania, namely their professionalization, bureaucratization and precarization, this paper aims to understand how is NGO-ization related to activist burnout. It is argued that organizational and job insecurity became a concern among feminist activists as the fragmentation of funds exacerbated and the project-based work became commonplace.
