Over the next several months, ESCR-Net members from more than 70 countries will come together for a series of strategic discussions online, culminating in an in-person Global Strategy Meeting: Building Collective Power to Shape Our Futures, in Chiang Mai, Thailand, 16-20 September 2024. Confronting the immense challenges or the poly-crisis of the past few years, members are eager to renew bonds of solidarity and reinforce collective action to make human rights and social justice a reality for all. Building on recent gatherings of our Social Movement Working Group in South Africa and Brazil, this Global Strategy Meeting will be preceded by a gathering of social movement, Indigenous Peoples, and independent trade union members.
From September 16 to 20, we gathered more than 100 of our members to develop strategies for a future rooted in justice, dignity, and care for people and the planet.
