Résumé : While the NGO-ization paradigm helped explain the institutionalization, professionalization, and bureaucratization of feminist movements around the world, from the late 80s and early 90s on, by focusing on the most visible actors, it often concealed the multiplicity of feminisms and their internal heterogeneity. By looking at the institutionalization of feminism in Romania through decolonial lenses, this essay aims to understand some of the transnational processes that have been overlooked or curtailed within the NGO-ization literature, the mechanisms through which certain forms of feminist knowledge and practice became hegemonic and institutionalized, and some of their consequences. The essay argues that the traveling and crossings initiated by those excluded through these processes and who inhabit liminal, in-between spaces contributed to making visible multiple worlds of sense towards pluralist feminism, opening the possibility to build deep coalitions by engaging in complex communication.
