Reclaiming institutional and policy space Amidst crisis

Abstract

Marina Durano, Gigi Francisco and Gita Sen representing Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN) argue that the critical question now is not only policies to overcome the current crisis, but also which global institutions should play what roles. They argue that in this time of unprecedented crisis, the UN in order to play a renewed and vigorous role needs women as much as women have historically needed the UN.
