The Impact of a Global Grassroots Women’s Movement: The 4th World Women’s Conference in Huairou, China, until Today

Peer learning was an essential tool for the Huairou Commission since the organization’s inception at the Fourth World Women’s Conference in Huairou, China. Peer learning took place in the grassroots women’s tent. The practice involves fundamental principles of transforming power as participants exchange knowledge, methods, strategies, and experiences with other grassroots women. Peer learning involves direct engagement with equals rather than top-down, one-way transmittal of information.
