A Dialogue with Donors and Activists on Funding Women’s Economic Rights, not Women’s Economic Rescue

Current discourses identify women’s economic engagement as a strategy to improve economic indicators, ignoring root causes of women’s poverty and shifting donors’ focus away from promoting women’s rights. This session – one of the top ten breakout sessions as voted for by Forum participants – explored strategies to challenge instrumentalist views and to promote a discourse focused on women’s rights.

Speakers: Anasuya Sengupta, Susan Jessop, Sangeeta Budhiraja
