INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN GLOBAL WOMEN'S FORUM IWTC has received the following letter, addressed to all readers of the IWTC Women's GlobalNet. Dear Readers of IWTC Women's GlobalNet: We would like to extend a special invitation to all of you to participate in the upcoming Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) Forum in Guadalajara, Mexico, 3-6 October, 2002 - "Reinventing Gloablization" - designed to be the most international and diverse forum yet. The AWID Forum is now the largest recurring conference on gender and development in the world, outside of the UN system. It is a unique opportunity for the global women's movement to assess their successes and failures and forge new strategies. At the forum you will meet with leading and committed gender activists, policy makers and academics. You will be part of a process that seeks to identify and address the most relevant issues of the day. The International Planning Committee of AWID, consisting of renowned feminists from around the world, is now soliciting proposals for participation at the 2002 Forum. We are also actively seeking contributions from young women and men to present at the Forum, so please encourage students to submit a proposal. The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2001. We encourage you to visit our website at: <http://www.awid.org> which has the full details on the Call for Participation process, more information regarding AWID and exciting submissions from our members around the world. Information on the Call for Participation is available on the AWID website, where there are versions in English, French and Spanish. If you would like a copy of those languages for distribution, please let me know. If you have any questions about our upcoming Forum, the Call for Participation process or our programs in general, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to receiving your proposals and hope to see you in Mexico!
