Gender & Development Special Issue on Feminist Solidarity &
Collective Action
Feminist solidarity and collective action are
both aims in their own right, and ways of working to attain gender justice and
women’s rights, not only in developing countries but in the global North. In
this issue of G&D, articles from researchers, activists and practitioners
focus on how the ideals of the feminist movements have been heard, absorbed and
responded to by development and humanitarian policy and practice: both as ends
in themselves, and as critical elements in the process of attaining economic,
political and social rights for all.
Gender & Development provides free access to individual articles via
