DAWN’s mission is to achieve a progressive and inclusive vision by developing and advocating for feminist analytical frameworks rooted in the lived realities of women of the South, in order to understand the economic, social, cultural and political processes that perpetuate inequalities and violate human rights. We examine development strategies and policies of countries in the economic South from a feminist perspective, highlighting their implications for women and other marginalised groups, and advocating for alternatives.
Since its first strides in the early 1980s, DAWN has been producing and publishing articles, books, magazines, reports, statements, audiovisual pieces and a variety of other materials as part of this effort. On this page you have access to the entirety of this production in chronological order.
