DAWN has been one of the key promoters of the Feminist Forum against G20, an initiative that articulates dozens of feminists’ and women’s organisations and networks, and which is part of the broader coalition of international civil society movements organizing the Global Action Week and People’s Summit against the G20, that will take place from November 25 to the 1st of December in Buenos Aires, Argentina, parallel to the G20 Presidential Summit. Here we present a collection of the different activities and resources related to this process (versión en español disponible aquí):
The initiative of this Feminist Forum is based on the experience during the first Feminist Forum against Free Trade at the end of 2017, within the context of the Ministerial Meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Buenos Aires, Argentina:
