Interview with Donna Denina, Secretary General of the International Women’s Alliance
The International Women's Alliance (IWA) was founded in 2010 as an anti-imperialist global alliance of militant grassroots-based women’s organizations, institutions, alliances, networks and individuals committed to advancing national and social liberation and gender equality. Organized around the world, IWA strives to intensify local struggles and campaigns against imperialism and capitalism, strengthen international solidarity, and contribute to the people’s struggle for national liberation, sovereignty, and self-determination.
In this essay, we analyze recent dimensions of the world women’s struggle. We believe that to analyze the current state of women’s and feminist/transfeminist movements on the global stage, we must
critically evaluate the last thirty years of feminist and women’s struggle and highlight the differences between the past and the present. This allows us to strategize and organize for the tasks ahead, at a time of planetary crisis.
