This report, produced by the Asian and Pacific Centre for Women and Development following the 1979 International Workshop on Feminist Ideology and Structures, assesses progress midway through the United Nations Decade for Women and outlines strategies for advancing feminist goals globally. It identifies two overarching aims of the women’s movement: freedom from oppression through dignity, autonomy, and control over one’s body and life, and the elimination of all forms of inequity via the creation of a just social and economic order. The document critiques welfare-oriented and fragmented government programs, highlighting their failure to address structural causes of gender inequality. It examines how patriarchal norms, undervaluation of unpaid reproductive labor, and systemic biases in education, legislation, employment, and media sustain women’s marginalization. The report differentiates between reformist strategies, which seek incremental change within existing systems, and revolutionary strategies, which aim for structural transformation, advocating for the integration of feminist perspectives into broader struggles for social and economic justice. Central to its recommendations is the establishment and strengthening of independent, grassroots women’s organizations to mobilize, raise consciousness, and exert sustained pressure on institutions. By linking feminist objectives to anti-poverty, anti-racist, and anti-imperialist struggles, the report positions gender equality as inseparable from systemic social change, offering a framework for policy and activism that remains relevant to contemporary development and equality agendas.
