CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ....................................................................... The Association for Women's Rights in Development presents The 9th International Forum on WOMEN'S RIGHTS and DEVELOPMENT: RE-INVENTING GLOBALIZATION October 3-6, 2002 Guadalajara, Mexico .......................................................................... How can we re-invent globalization to further the rights of all women? The 9th international AWID Forum, 3-6 October, 2002 in Guadalajara, Mexico will take an innovative approach to this central question. We'll go beyond the all too familiar critique of globalization to examine what we really see as alternatives and how we translate these alternative visions into realities. The AWID Forum is more than just a conference. It is a unique opportunity for the global women's movement to assess their successes and failures and forge new strategies. At the Forum we will ask ourselves how we can work more effectively, what new strategies are needed and are really good practices. This is why the Forum is so unique and necessary for the ongoing struggle for women's rights, empowerment and social justice. Mark your calendar for 3-6 October, 2002, be sure to register early and start making arrangements to attend.
