Lively Discussion for “Another World” ~ Global Social Forum in Tokyo
Up against neo-liberalistic globalism, a World Social Forum (WSF) was held in Japan on Jan. 24 in Tokyo, which was titled, “WSF 2010 in Tokyo.” About 300 people came to the forum that has been held throughout the world. The first one ever to be held in Japan was in Arakawa Ward in January 2008 with a slogan “Another World is Possible.” Participants attended group discussions on 11 issues such as poverty-right to housing, neo-liberalism vs labor movement and thinking about an alternative society from a gender-sensitive perspective. The forum was held at Korean YMCA in Japan in Tokyo’s Suidobashi area. (By Y) See flash photo news・event homepage
