In the context of the Global Week of action against G20 and the International Monetary Fund, on Tuesday 27th November 2018 DAWN promoted the initiative of the “School of Feminist Economics: Narratives and Resistance against Financial Capitalism and Corporate Power” in Buenos Aires City, Argentina, at the Bauen Cooperative Hotel.
This initiative was co-organised by Argentinean Association for the Research in Women’s History and Gender Studies (AAIHMEG), Asamblea Argentina Mejor sin TLC, Espacio de Economía FeminisSEC, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung-Argentina, Quimeras (Argentina), SOS Corpo Feminist Institut for the Democracy (Brazil), Intersections Journal (Argentina), CREES (Argentina), AAI, AWID, Asamblea NoG20 and Cátedra Libre Virginia Bolten (Argentina).
Since 1984, DAWN has been developing research programmes, advocacy and training projects for feminists from the Global South. For more than three decades DAWN has been mobilising processes rooted in social solidarity and gender, economic, political, ecological and social justice. DAWN has been an active member of the Feminist Forum against G20 along with other feminist political and social organizations. The School took place days before the Leaders´Summit of G20, allowing for space to reflect on the connections between the reflections around feminist economics and the G20 agenda.
The School gathered more than 14 experts from different countries, such as Paraguay, Ecuador, Brazil, France, Kenya, Spain, Uruguay and Argentina, and more than 180 participants attended.
In three videos, academics and activists from Paraguay, Brazil, France, Ecuador, Uruguay, Spain and Argentina reflect on the importance of this kind of learning.
