2015
At the 48th Session of the Commission on Population and Development (CPD) in 2015—marking Cairo+20—DAWN launches a special issue of Global Public Health following two years of collaborative research. Co-hosted with the governments of the Philippines and Denmark, the event convenes leading researchers and analysts to assess progress on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in low and middle-income countries.
DAWN makes two impactful contributions to feminist analysis marking the transition from the MDGs (Millennium Development Goals) to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), as part of the Power of Numbers project (Fukuda-Parr):
- No Empowerment without Rights, No Rights without Politics: Gender Equality, the MDGs and the post 2015 Development Agenda (Gita Sen and Avanti Mukherjee), published in Journal of Human Development and Capabilities in 2013;
- Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: Feminist Mobilization for the SDGs (Gita Sen), published in Global Policy in 2019.
