Programme
Tracks, Format, Topics
This two-and-a-half-day gathering will offer an incredibly diverse selection of activities - plenary sessions, skill-building workshops, mini-lectures, interactive presentations, exhibitions, a marketplace, street theatre, cultural performances, short films, and more. All of the activities will be organised around the four main tracks, which are:
- Feminism, gender and development : What is feminism? How is this relevant to gender and development? How do we popularise feminism?
- Human rights and democracy : What are human rights? What kinds of rights should we be concerned about? How are human rights and democracy relevant to women?
- Social movements : How are women involved in other movements - workers, indigenous, migrants, environment, sexuality, etc.? What are their issues and how do these connect to the work that women's NGOs do?
- Women organising : How are women organising for change and transformation? What strategies can we learn from? Which should we avoid? What are the ways forward?
Topics to be covered include: women's rights, gender and development, movement building, disability rights, freedom of information and expression, men and feminism, culture and religion, indigenous people's rights, women's health, labour, privatisation of healthcare services, sexuality, migration, globalisation, younger women's activism, inter-movement dialogue, and many more.
