Summary of statement by the Women's Caucus at the International Conference for Financing for Development (FfD)
An Equitable World is possible and necessary women at the FfD declare.

As governments and multilateral financial and trade organizations collude here in Monterrey, women are being hemmed in by two forces of fundamentalism: the fundamentalism of the market and religious fundamentalism that have brought the world to a dangerous juncture. The Monterrey Consensus assumes that the global economic and financial system is functioning well and working for all.
