Paper short abstract:
Discussion of feminist development alternatives
Paper long abstract:
Tired of lurching from one externally-set political agenda to another, the Gender and Development Network decided to prioritise a project considering feminist development alternatives. Our goal was to allow ourselves, and our NGO member organisations, to step and back consider how and whether our work was contributing to alternative feminist visions. Rather than attempt to a summary or overview, inevitably loaded with caveats, we commissioned a group of women from around the world - academics, practitioners and activists - to write from their own perspective about feminist development alternatives. Importantly, we included those addressing problems in the UK as well as internationally. Our presentation will reflect on the findings of this work, and consider the challenges it poses for feminists promoting gender equality and women's rights under the current neo-liberal paradigm.
