A Wayuu woman with a child in the village of Pessuapa, Colombia. Located on La Guajira peninsula near the border with Venezuela, Pessuapa is part of the Wayuu community, Colombia's largest indigenous group. The conference will therefore be centred around the following topics: Constitutionalism, rights and gender equality.
How far can we secure gender equality through rights and law? How do claims for gender equality square up with non-binary identities and intersectionality? Is gender still a useful category? Democracy, mobilisation and counter mobilisation. How do we understand the rise of new social movements for and against women, and what are the new strategies, repertoires and challenges for feminist mobilization?
Which fields are more sensitive to counter mobilization and why? To what extent, and how, are both sides disputing the language of rights? How do we evaluate mobilisation strategies and outcomes? National and international responses to gendered poverty and inequality.
