Abstract

For decades, women's organizing has been predominately territorial-bound and geographically placed. However, since the 1990s there has been a shift to broader theorizing of global sisterhoods and the opportunity for solidarity, especially around gender justice and liberation movements. The United Nations Decade for Women (1976 to 1985) opened a dialogue of North/South and First World/Third World dichotomies. The 1995 Fourth United Nations Conference on Women and NGO Forum in Beijing, China brought the issue of solidarity practices to the forefront. The rise of international women's conferences has aided in the push for more transnational feminist organizing and the need to address economic, political, and social arenas of women's struggle.
