Host/event owner/convener: WILPF UK

Open to: Public

When? 12 May 2025 from 7PM

Event type: Webinar

About: We are in a climate emergency compounded by a headlong pursuit of militarism, destructive economic growth, and the massive inequalities created by colonialism and capitalism. In this webinar we will take a look at and discuss what the degrowth movement has to offer to our peace activism and how anti-militarism and our feminist analysis can help inform the work of those advocating for degrowth economies. Our guest speaker, Nela Porobić Isaković, is a feminist from Bosnia and Herzegovina. She works with Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), leading the feminist political economy work in the organisation. The focus of Nela’s work is researching and understanding the political economy of war and peace, from a feminist perspective. As part of her work Nela also explores different feminist anti-capitalist alternatives to current political economy, including degrowth.
