Channel: Regions Refocus
Date: 2018-01-25

Feminists from across countries and movements united ahead of the 31st ASEAN Summit to collaborate and lay out their own visions for visions for sustainable development. Examining the ASEAN Community Vision 2025, participants articulated a feminist analysis of the ASEAN Economic Community, and explored an alternative development agenda in Southeast Asia.

The meeting, titled “Strengthening Women’s Rights Advocacy in ASEAN:Policy Alternatives for Regional Integration, Governance and Justice,” was held 7-8 November 2017 in Quezon City, Philippines. Co-convened by Weaving Women’s Voices in Southeast Asia (WEAVE) and Regions Refocus, in collaboration with Strengthening Human Rights and Peace Research Education in ASEAN/ Southeast Asia (SHAPE-SEA), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, and Gender Transformative and Responsible Agribusiness Investments in South East Asia (GRAISEA).
