BRICS Feminist Watch/PWESCR

BRICS Feminist Watch (BFW): Formed in 2017, BRICS Feminist Watch (BFW) has emerged as a global South Feminist alliance that provides a much-needed gender analysis, perspective, voice and empirical evidence from the ground to key global policy debates, International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and large development projects. BFW is a network of feminist scholars, researchers, and activists from the global South whose mission is to work for economic and gender justice as well as sustainable and democratic development. The Alliance brings the collective strength of feminist analysis and activism to promote gender-responsive inclusive sustainable development and to make visible the linkages between gender justice, environmental and economic justice as critical to sustain movements and actions.

Programme on Women’s Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (PWESCR) is an international initiative in the area of gender and economic, social and cultural rights. PWESCR works to promote women’s human rights, especially in the context of economic, social and cultural rights by bringing a gender framework to policy, law and practice at local, national, regional and international levels through ever-evolving strategies and activities in both conceptual and practical realms.
