Five social movements are in dialogue with each other on how to take up each other’s issues within their own organisations

Why should a movement say the Labour Movement think of taking up an issue which belongs to another organisation like the Women’s Movement? Should it also speak and act on the issue of domestic violence or abortion?

Members/activists of organisations are increasingly becoming conscious that people who participate in their movements are not defined only by one identity. Rather, they are exposed simultaneously to multiple others forms of discriminations hence the need to work together across social movements for greater impact. So the analytical tool of intersectionality will help us to visualize the linkages between the different contradictions in each movement and between social movements.

The Inter Movement Dialogues will bring together the following movements

1. The Indigenous Peoples Movements
2. Women's Movements
3. LGBT Movements
4. Labour Movements
5. Peasant Movements
