Ethiopian feminist Zenebework Tadesse (former DAWN Board member) provides the observation that women’s rights often provoke fundamental reactions that make people from different cultures and backgrounds very uncomfortable. Yvonne Underhill-Sem (Associate Professor of the University of Auckland) emphasises an ongoing process of emboldenment within right-wing forces. In this series of videos, we invite you to experience what DAWN’s analysis looks like, presented live at an international meeting. We join forces with partners and contributors from other organisations to think and discuss contemporary issues such as corporate capture, religious extremism, biopolitics and the climate crisis.
