WSF TUESDAY JAN 24 2005

Today I attended the feminist dialogue in the morning, in the English 5 group, which included women from India, Africa, Uruguay, US, Scotland, Canada & Malaysia. Our goal was to come up with three strategies for feminists, although the guidelines were general, and hence the discussion rather diffuse. It was difficult to arrive at specific strategies. We often proposed goals or pointed to difficulties, such as whether one works with religious women or whether we are seeking alternatives to capitalism or are resigned to working within it. (The World Social Forum seems to belong to the latter camp.)

Now back for the plenary.
