As part of its engagement in the World Social Forum (WSF) 2018 that took place in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, DAWN held a two-day dialogue with feminists from around the global South on “Fundamentalisms, militarization and Corporate Power” and coordinated two self-managed workshops (14th and 15th of March) within the WSF. It also participated in the coordination of the World Women’s Assembly. In this page we put together the main pieces of information, pictures and videos shared from those days.
