What can Global North NGOs learn from Global South feminists? In this storycast, Barbara van Paassen shares ideas for addressing the imbalances and challenges global civil society is facing. She sees a particular responsibility for Global North NGOs to critically reflect and build capacities for power analysis, true solidarity, and putting people and care at the centre. Barbara builds on her own experience in civil society advocacy and campaigning and her work supporting changemakers for social justice. Tune in!
