The Global Financial and Economic Crisis and their Effects on the Provision of and Access to Care

The theme of the conference day three is the current global financial crisis. The financial crisis of the 1980s in Latin America and in many African and Asian countries was a starting point for a new international feminist debate on neoliberalism and macroeconomic policies and for a feminist critique of WTO-politics. DAWN played a crucial role in promoting the discussion about feminist critique of economic policies, which spread also to Western Europe and Northern America. Later on the discussion divided into separate topics - trade policies, gender budgets, social and gender regimes and neoliberalism - but the economy of care persisted as a basic issue in all of those threads. Now the circle is closing since the global financial crisis has returned.
