- Description
- This article briefly reviews different women’s networks associated with the Society for International Development’s (SID) work on women’s empowerment, reproductive rights and health, political conflict and well-being. The focus of the article is both global and regional with a particular look at the activities of different South Asian networks responding to the region’s growing political conflicts and to the alarming increase of violence against women. She uses the framework of the “women and politics of place” developed by a SID-based research group coordinated by Arturo Escobar and herself, to explain the forms of networking and what they term “meshworking” that are currently evolving.
