“Formulating alternatives to current political economy, grounded in sound feminist political economy analysis, is not only about having great ideas that add women into the mix but about thinking about how to transform the current structures and create conditions for the achievement of feminist peace.”Nela Porobić Isaković, WILPF
We live in a world dominated by capitalism and neoliberalism, even though there is ample proof of how harmful, exploitative, destructive, and unjust these systems are.
National governments, as well as international financial institutions, impose capitalist, and neoliberal policies on us on daily basis. They create institutions and practices built entirely in support to capitalist political economy and they measures our development and well-being by how much we produce, how much we consume, and the amount of money that circulates in our societies. We are told that no other systems are possible, and we are not supposed to question how wealth is created, how it is being distributed, to what end, or who it harms.
But WILPF’s vision of a permanent peace cannot be built within such a system. That is why WILPF uses feminist political economy analysis to:
Economic policies should be based on how we want our societies governed, and our resources distributed, as well as our relationship to the planet.
