2010
In response to these global crises and acknowledging the urgent need for more effective and interlinked regional feminist responses from the economic South, DAWN works on resistance iniatives on its own terms. A series of regional consultations and training institutes are held between 2010 and 2014 on “Strengthening Policy Analysis and Advocacy on Gender, Economic and Ecological Justice” – the GEEJ series, in short.
The GEEJ initiative provides venues and creative spaces for sharing information on a range of global and regional responses to the world’s multiple crises; mapping current measures, mechanisms and programs at national and regional levels; discussing possibilities, constraints and contradictions; and building capacity in policy analysis and advocacy on key gender, economic and climate justice issues, and their interlinkages.
The GEEJ series begins in the Pacific in September 2010, and is followed by Africa in November 2010, Latin America and the Caribbean in March 2011, the Mekong Region in April 2012, the Pacific again in October 2012 and Latin America in August 2013.
In 2014, DAWN brings together Young Southern Women Activists from different regions for an Inter-regional GEEJ consultation in Manila, Philippines.
