¹This short article is based on Anita Nayar's remarks as facilitator of the AWID Forum's second plenary entitled 'What is the change around us?' on 28 October 2005.

Abstract

Anita Nayar looks at five key areas where major change is occurring and affecting women's rights. These are Global Power, Inequality, Fundamentalisms, New Technologies and the Environment. She asks a series of questions to provoke a debate and deeper understanding of the interconnection between these issues and women's movements responses to them.
