Across the world, there is growing consensus that GDP falls short as the primary metric for measuring social and economic progress. It excludes women's unpaid care and domestic work and does not account for inequality or the impact of economic activities on environment, gender justice and human rights. But how should an alternative metric be designed? As a new UN High Level Expert Group begins its work to develop a set of metrics beyond GDP, it is critical that their work is guided by the voices of feminist, indigenous peoples’ and movements in the Global South.  In 2024, we invited leading feminist thinkers from around the world to share perspectives on why we must move beyond GDP and what alternative metrics need to address. As well as the illustrators Vidushi Yadav and Medhavini Yadav to capture feminist visions for a world freed from the relentless pursuit of GDP growth.   Over the next few weeks, we will reshare the different insights from the paper. First up, we share some some snippets of wisdom from Natalia Quiroga Diaz, a feminist scholar from Colombia.  Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/gpCZYHn9

"We’ve heard from mothers saying, ‘My son died in front of my eyes because his body couldn’t take it anymore.’ This is not a humanitarian failure, this is a deliberate policy. People are being starved.” WATCH and SHARE Oxfam's Bushra Khalidi on Al-Jazeera English.
