Following the tradition established in 1981 in Bogota, the 15th Feminist Encuentro of Latin America (EFLAC) took place in El Salvador at the end of last November, with about 1700 participants. These feminist forums, that take place every 3 years, gather grassroots groups from the whole continent to discuss all relevant themes affecting the movement(s) and it shapes new strategies. Edmé Domínguez R. represented WIDE+ in this 15th Forum and reports.
Edmé Domínguez went on behalf of the WIDE+ gender and trade working group in which she represents WIDE+ in two EU Domestic Advisory Groups (DAGs) with countries in Latin America. DAGs are formal bodies in which business, trade unions and employer groups as well as civil society from the EU and the partner countries come together to provide advice to the governments on the implementation of decent work, environmental and any other human rights related standards that are included in the particular trade agreement. With participating in the Forum, WIDE+ aims to strengthen and enlarge our network of contacts in the region.
