No Economic Justice without Gender Justice? Building Inclusive Movements for Change

M. Carpenter / Panos Pictures

In a world facing enormous challenges across regions - accelerating climate change, fundamentalisms, militarism, pervasive gender based violence, and rocketing macro-economic instability - the work of social justice movements has never been more important. But as these movements fight for justice, equality and positive social, political and economic transformation, how much attention is paid to the gender power relations within movements themselves? This short clip is from an interactive dialogue with leaders of organisations at the centre of economic justice movements, convened as part of the BRIDGE gender and social movements programme. The aims of the dialogue were to find out more about:

• How economic justice movements understand gender equality and women's economic rights
• How more productive alliances between women's movements and economic justice movements can be built
• What the entry points are for gender justice advocates who want to shape the work of economic justice movements

 
This short clip, featuring one of the speakers, Shalmali Guttal of Focus on the Global South, gives a taste of the interesting dialogue that took place.

A film of the full event is available here.
