DAWN Training Institute for young feminists
16th November – 6th December 2020, Izmir, Turkey
The DAWN Training Institute (DTI) is an intensive training programme for young feminist activists and advocates from the economic South, where young feminists are exposed to theory, discussions and inter-active processes related to feminism, feminist movements, women’s rights, and local and global strategies to achieve social justice.
The three-week programme draws on DAWN’s feminist analysis, which interlinks issues under the themes of Political Economy of Globalisation (PEG), Political Ecology and Sustainability (PEAS), Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), and Political Restructuring and Social Transformation (PRST). This 6th DTI will also address DAWN’s new areas of analysis and advocacy in relation to Public Accountability, Corporate Power and Women’s Human Rights; Reclaiming the Body, Deep Democracy and Women’s Agency; Political Economy of Conflict and Violence Against Women; and Digital Justice and Gender Equality.
The DTI is a capacity building and a knowledge sharing space where DAWN’s women share with younger feminists from the South the accumulated knowledge, analysis, debates and experiences of DAWN. The DTI’s main objectives are:
- to build the capacity of young feminist activists from the Global South, especially in understanding linkages between different issues and advocacy agendas, particularly those concerned with gender justice in its multiple and inter-linked dimensions – economic, political, ecological, social and personal.
- to strengthen feminist advocacy work at global, regional and national level; and to deepen analysis of complex current issues.
- to prepare young feminists for the challenges entailed in working for gender justice in the present global geopolitical and economic context.
Participants:
