1/12 Women and the global crisis : Terry Conway

Summary

This session will examine the ways to which women are at the sharp end of today's multiple crisis
(environmental, economic, food, social, political) and how this is related to the sexual division in the family.
It will look at women's resistances and the extent to which the global justice movement in its broadest sense
takes on board the demands women are raising and what our role is and
should be in supporting womens self organisation and the demands coming from it.
