Receive updates on our progress, thinking, and strategies as we advocate for gender-just climate, environment, and economic policies around the world.
Through an exploration of the macroeconomic policies and gender impacts in light of the nexus of conflict, and environmental crises, we aim to unravel the complexities, challenges, and opportunities facing women in the MENA region.
This analysis, by MENAFem Movement for Economic, Development, and Ecological Justice and WEDO, extends to the austerity measures implemented by the IMF and made worse by the World Bank Group’s push towards privatization, shedding light on the disproportionate burdens borne by women and marginalized communities.
Through an informed exploration of these themes, this advocacy brief aims to catalyze dialogue and action among policymakers, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders. By advocating for gender-responsive approaches within macroeconomic policies and interventions and calling for the decolonization of economic structures, we endeavor to advance the cause of gender equality, social justice, and sustainable development in the MENA region and beyond.
