The fundamental challenge of the meeting is to construct a regional work plan and plan the Americas’ actions and mobilisations in the framework of WMW 2010 International Action, to take place from 8th of March to 17th October 2010.
Besides debating the regional politico-socio-economic situation of the continent, marked specially by the issues of regional integration as an answer to the crisis, as well as the rising offensive of the right and the militarization and the coup d’État in Honduras, participants will deep the discussion around the four fields of action for 2010:
- Women’s economic autonomy
