ABSTRACT
With a first edition in 2001 in Porto Alegre (Brazil), the World Social Forum (WSF) has become a routine event as well as a central meeting point for global justice movement activists. Such an international event is arranged with a view to bringing together social movements, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), experts, and committed individuals so as to discuss the effects of neo-liberal globalization and to explore the collective ways to address this issue. Held successively in Latin America, India, and Africa, the WSF’s main objective is to shed light on the growing inequalities faced by the majority of people in the global South.
