| 2002 | 9th International Forum on Women's Rights and Development: "Reinventing Globalization" forum |
| October 3 - 6 | |
| Guadalajara, Mexico | The AWID Forum is now the largest recurring conference on gender and development in the world, outside of the UN system. It is a unique opportunity for the global women's movement to assess their successes and failures and forge new strategies. At the forum you will meet with leading and committed gender activists, policy makers and academics. You will be part of a process that seeks to identify and address the most relevant issues of the day.
How can we re-invent globalization to further the rights of all women? The 9th international AWID Forum will take an innovative approach to this central question. We'll go beyond the all too familiar critique of globalization to examine what we really see as alternatives and how we translate these alternative visions into realities. Deadline for submissions is December 31, 2001. |
