This paper examines the discourse, inputs and reorganization of strategies of women's rights movements. The author argues that the representation of the global women's rights movement is fluid and fluctuating, relating to proximity to the main sites of discussion and access to knowledge and funding to contribute and lead the debates. It concludes with some reflections on tensions about how to bring in marginal voices, how to build capacity to ensure renewed leadership, and how and when to link with other social movements.
