4th International Meeting
The next international meeting of national coordinating bodies of the World March of Women will take place in New Delhi, India, from March 18-22, 2003.
The next meeting of the World March of Women will focus on drafting our strategic action plan and consolidating our network, by, among other things, adopting a structure. It is therefore very important that the maximum number of countries be represented. We are counting on your presence and your commitment to actively continuing our struggle against poverty and violence against women. Thank you for your collaboration,
Members of the Follow-up Committee
Goals of the 4th International Meeting of the World March of Women
The next international meeting of the World March will be a turning point for the continuation of our action. In 2001, we confirmed our intention to continue our work and maintain the links developed in this global struggle against poverty and violence against women. We agreed on our goals and areas of work, and discussed our demands; however, we only barely began to discuss our next actions. Yet, collective action of grass-roots groups is the hallmark of the World March of Women. With the perspective of 2005 in mind, we reiterated the importance of having a common rendezvous, because this serves as a catalyst for our energy at both the national and global levels and encourages mobilization.
Given the current state of the world, and the need to once again mobilize all participating countries in the World March of Women, in our opinion it is essential that we arrive at a strategic action plan leading up to 2005. This should be the focus of our next meeting. While we do not deny the need to continue discussions on our demands and analysis, the Follow-up Committee proposes that these discussions be considered as part of an ongoing process. The back and forth relationship between reflection and action, and the sharing of our analysis of the current context based on our diverse political cultures should result in dynamic and stimulating debates. We propose that we agree on our common action for 2005 and from there construct a process for continuing to update our demands. This is why we propose the following goals for the next international meeting:
- create an overview of the global context according to the demands of the March and continue developing our common feminist analysis
- adopt a strategic action plan for 2003–2005
- adopt the structure of the World March (decision-making bodies, membership, internal functioning, political representation, funding)
- adopt a common work plan
