Top

Abstract

Jessica Horn provides an account and analysis of a plenary at the AWID Forum in 2008 that looked at the internal dynamics and state of organizing within contemporary women's movements. It explores common experiences and tensions around negotiating power within movements and between activists themselves, and the ways in which the institutionalization of women's activism has affected these dynamics.

Keywords:

politics of the process, accountability, NGOs and social movements; NGO-ization
