Feminist Interventions Amidst Contending Views on Financing Development
|
|
DAWN Panel at the Public Forum of 1st Regional Intensive Course on Asia-Pacific Capacity Development on Gender and Macroeconomic Issues:
DAWN has described the first 10 years of the 21st century as a painful birthing of a fierce, new world. Inter-governmental political relations are facing pressures to respond to the triple crisis engulfing the peoples of developed and developing countries. Out of the crisis, heated debates on the restructuring of global governance, re-balancing of regional and national economies, and re-orientation of economic policies across the spheres, arose. There is an urgent need for women and civil society organizations to critically engage with these debates and to explore policies that would bring about convergences of goals across economic climate and gender justice.
Speakers:
Dr. Marina Durano, DAWN Research Coordinator on Political Economy of Globalization, “DAWN’s engagement in global policy debates in the fierce new world”
Dr. Gita Sen, DAWN Political Economy of Globalization & Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (via video), “Tobin Tax and women”
Ms. Natividad Bernardino, International Studies Dept, Miriam College, “Financing Agrarian Reform and Rural Development: Philippine case”
Ms. Nathalie Verceles, Gender & Development Program, CSWCD, University of the Philippines, “Gender Budgeting: Philippine case”
Moderator: Ms. Gigi Francisco, DAWN General Coordinator

DAWN at the Asia-Pacific NGO Forum on Beijing+15
|
The AP-NGO Forum on Beijing+15, held from 22-24 October at Miriam College, Philippines, ended as a celebration of women’s victories and a new beginning for moving forward. DAWN, who continuously advocates for women’s empowerment, actively participated in the forum as speakers and facilitators in various plenaries and workshops.
Among the key speakers were Josefa “Gigi” Francisco, General Coordinator of DAWN, who spoke at the plenary, An Agency for Women in the UN, At Last! (Download Speech), and Gita Sen, who was joined by Marina Durano as moderator in the final plenary, Beyond the Crisis: Forging Ahead with Development Alternatives (Download Speech). Two of DAWN’s RTI alumnae, Shuchi Karim and Anupama Sekhar, likewise participated in the young women’s plenary, featuring feminists of today’s generation.
On the last day of the forum, seven RTIs from South and Southeast Asia shared their personal journeys as young feminists and how their unique feminist politics affect their daily lives. Entitled, Translating Feminist Knowledge: Young Feminist Reflections, the workshop was well-received by the attendees, who were humbled and at the same time inspired by the unique presentations of the RTI speakers, namely: Nilusha Hemasiri (Sri Lanka), Anupama Sekhar (India), Chandra Sugarda (Indonesia), Winnie Ma and Fiona Luk (Hong Kong), and Suchi Karim (Bangladesh). It was ended by a lively exchange of queries and analysis on feminisms and the challenges that young women face today.
