Exploring the Strengths and Limitations of a Human Rights-based Approach
The feminist dialogue allowed for a critical discussion on the usefulness of the Women's Human Rights framework. Although there was agreement around the fact that inserting women's rights into the human rights framework has been important in order to recognise their un-negotiable character, women's activists from different parts of the world also witnessed about the difficulty to make actual progress using this rights-based discourse. Many issues around the problem of negotiating between collective and individual rights were also raised, for example in relation to the issue of prostitution, and also regarding pre-natal sex selective abortion. In this context, and also more generally, a critic was raised against the predominance of the individualist choice discourse/paradigm, that many times hinder collective processes and actions – also within the women's movement.

Fundamentalism – in different forms ?
One of the concepts put forward at various occasions at the feminist dialogue, was the concept of fundamentalism – referring to economic fundamentalism, religious fundamentalism, nationalist and militarist fundamentalism, etc. Clearly many women feel that the word well describes the dynamics and logics of the political forces feminists face across the world. However, not everyone agreed that the concept should be used in this undefined and more slogan-like manner, but meant that the concept of fundamentalism should be used to counteract 'the Political use of religion, ethnicity, and culture', and that we should be careful not water down our analysis and actions by blurring our discourse in this context.
