A Feminist Development Policy: Intersectionality, gender & the economy (3/5)

A Pathway Towards Feminist Global Collaboration

In the third instalment of our five-episode series on feminist development policy we discuss how the tool of intersectionality can help us illuminate some of the root causes of inequality, which often go unquestioned. We discuss how the current and dominant economic system perpetuates gender, racial and many more injustices, while exploring alternatives that center human rights, gender justice and care.
Join us as we hear what feminist development policy must keep in mind to ensure intersectionality is not just another buzzword applied loosely throughout the sector.

A podcast with:
• Veena Singh, Feminist Development Practitioner and Consultant
• Sanyu Awori, Building Feminist Economies Manager at AWID
• Natalia Carrau, Environmental justice and labour rights advocate
• Samie Blasingame, Host and environmental justice activist, researcher and facilitator

This series was initiated by an emerging network of practitioners aiming to re-think development policy from a feminist perspective; FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders, a feminist non-profit initiative to advance gender equity in the in civil society sector; and the Heinrich Böll Foundation.
