NATIONAL FORUM - WOMEN RESISTING POVERTY & EXCLUSION: ALTERNATIVE



Around the world, local and global women’s organizations are resisting
unsustainable economic modes by generating innovative and alternative
economic practices for their families and communities.

It is widely recognized that there are many causes to poverty and that its
eradication requires more than simple band-aid solutions.

The Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women
(CRIAW) is creating a space to collectively explore, reflect, and
mobilize around the issues resulting from women’s poverty and social
exclusion, particularly within the Canadian context. It seeks to bring
together a wide range of people into conversation with one another to
explore alternative visions and practices.

Objectives of the National Forum:

- To review and discuss various forms of alternative approaches and
models to address women’s poverty and exclusion.

- To facilitate networking amongst Canadian and International groups
and individuals working on women’s poverty and exclusion.

- To facilitate discussion and strategizing among feminist organizations
around the current social and political climate in Canada and around
the globe.

This forum will offer participants an opportunity to discuss active, creative,
and critical ways that women become actors in resisting poverty and social
exclusion. We extend this invitation to feminists of all ages;
-researchers
-activists
-non-governmental organizations
-artists.
