Change begins with people's movements. For cohesive action, we need to engage in dialogue, build alliances and work in solidarity with other people's movements--migrant workers' movement, rural women's movement, right to food movement, etc. This is as much a time of pulling apart what is not working, as much it is of building up sustainable development alternatives.
Kate Lappin, Regional Coordinator of APWLD, in her inaugural speech reiterated that "There has never been a more important time for feminists to mould and shape our global village which is in crises and at a tipping point."
And as Vernie said, "If we do not resist we die anyway. If we resist we die honourably".
