For this issue, which covers the Global Week of Action by civil society and social movements against the World Trade Organization (WTO) during its 11th Ministerial Conference (MC11) in Argentina in November 2017, DAWN invited key actors and participants to contribute their reflections. The articles offer a critical overview of the global trade system, of the challenges of the G20, and of gender and trade issues, against the deep crisis in the multilateral system that has supported the advancement of human rights in the last 50 years. DAWN also shares its experience as co-organizer of the World Women’s Assembly of the World Social Forum in Bahia, Brazil in March.
