At WSF Mumbai 2004, DAWN is holding a seminar on 18 January on the Many Faces of Fundamentalism to highlight and analyse the different ways in which different fundamentalisms —religious and market— affect womens lives.
A key challenge facing women’s rights activists and scholars has been the emer-gence and evolution of fundamen-talism in various forms across religious and geographical contexts, the ways women are affected, and how to analyse and understand the forces and what they unleash. The
seminar will attempt to problematise fundamentalism in its various avatars and its implications.
Women speakers from Africa, Latin America, South East Asia, India and the Carribean who have been working on these is-sues will make presentations, then open the discussion to move the debate forward.
