ABSTRACT
In collaboration with women's movements, the UN enabled several international covenants to protect and advance women's rights and nurtured various feminist networks organized geographically or around specific subjective identities. The feminist movement should convince the UN to take up the challenge of the overall increase in inequalities, not to limit the gender equality, and one should take note of the "rising" in the South and of new ideas of wage-led growth, instead of only batting for gender equality. This could be a great leap forward. One need new macroeconomic theories built and transacted by women. As the feminist theorist, Amina Mama, has said: One women are in no position to deprive ourselves of the intellectual tools that can assist people in pursuit of gender justice. The arena of the intellect has been used to suppress them. One cannot afford to ignore the importance of intellectual work, especially in 21st century when knowledge and information define power more than ever before.
