After a long road of negotiations, the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) starts next week in Seville. While global leaders have had a chance to stand with the ongoing calls by civil society organisations and feminist movements long advocating for a fair global economic system, the outcome of the process and the document itself leaves much to be desired, particularly from the influence of global north countries such as the UK. As a result, calls by civil society and Global South countries have been watered down. 

Each year, the UN Commission on the Status of Women convenes in New York, drawing policymakers, activists, and organisations like ActionAid to advocate for feminist economic alternatives and global gender equality. Find out what we achieved this year.
