Some 160 women participants from all over the globe recently concluded an historic strategising meeting dubbed ‘Feminist Dialogues: Building Solidarities', in Mumbai, India. The dialogues examined “the interlinkages between feminist movements and other social movements and advocacy groups involved in human rights struggles, including sexual and reproductive rights, social equality, people's development, environmental and economic justice and gender justice”. Held on January 14-15, prior to the opening of the World Social Forum 2004, the meeting represented diverse feminist perspectives from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America and Europe. Participants discussed the complexity of emergent issues in the light of globalisation and identified collective strategies beyond the forum. They discussed the relationship between neo-liberalism, militarism, neo-conservatism, religious fundamentalism and gender/racial/ethnic inequalities through panel presentations, small group and plenary discussions.
