Transnational Feminism and the World Social Forum: Encounters and Transformations in Anti-globalization Spaces

What would it mean to place feminism(s) -- as movement(s), politics and ethics -- at the centre of our understandings of the World Social Forum? The author argues that transnational feminisms have been among the significant forces constituting the WSF, although this has been uneven across different time-spaces and scales of the WSF.

Présence active de la Marche au FSM 2005

La Marche mondiale des femmes a eu une présence active durant le cinquième Forum social mondial qui s’est déroulé du 26 au 31 janvier 2005 à Porto Alegre au Brésil.

2006, FSM Bamako (Mali)

En 2006, le Forum social mondial était polycentrique. La Marche mondiale des femmes a proposé un atelier commun aux trois Forums : « Les femmes en mouvement changent le monde ». À Bamako, la MMF burkinabè a proposé un atelier pour partager l´expérience de la caravane et le débat sur la violence envers les femmes. Paola Manduca de la MMF en Italie a organisé un atelier sur la situation des femmes en Iraq et nous étions co-organisatrices.
