Building Feminist Movements and Organizations Global Perspectives

Building Feminist Movementsis an international collection of essays and case studies which explores diverse ways in which women and feminist organizations and movements are organizing and it also analyses the important lessons learned in the process. Women's organizations and movements must be stronger than ever to be able to hold the line and continue moving forward the women's rights agenda. In the present context, where many threats to women's rights such as armed conflicts, the advance of HIV/AIDS, raising fundamentalisms and scarce resources for work on women's rights, a revision of the internal dynamics and work done in women and feminist organizations and movements is de rigueur in order to face these challenges effectively.

Lydia Alpizar, Anahi Durán and Anahi Russo Garrido are all activists and heavily involved with AWID, the Association of Women in Development.
