translated from Spanish: What are the proposals of feminist organizations for an inclusive W20?

Feminita economy in conjunction with feminist organizations wrote a collaborative document with proposals that should be included in the agenda of this group of affinity of the G20.

They explain “the W20 is one of the younger groups of affinity of the G20: its first official meeting was in 2015 in Istanbul under the Turkish chairmanship.” Although its gravitation has grown significantly since then, discussions often have restricted to issues related to women in positions of leadership, entrepreneurship, digital divides, economic participation and “conciliation” between life work and family.”

Continue “progress towards gender equality implies turn back with those policies of adjustment and austerity that involve cuts in education, health, pensions and system of care, among others. and that not only generate a regressive redistribution of income and wealth, but also have an uneven impact because they fall asymmetrically on women”.
