    Description
    Social justice movements are able to generate deep and lasting changes that policy&nbsp;change and development interventions alone cannot achieve. However, in many cases, women&rsquo;s rights and gender justice remain low on the priorities of movements, even&nbsp;when women are active members. This article offers a preview of three case studies&nbsp;developed as part of the BRIDGE Cutting Edge programme on gender and social movements, which aims to inspire and support the inclusion of gender equality principles and practices in social justice&nbsp; mobilisation. The case studies feature the&nbsp;global human rights movement (with a focus on Amnesty International), the CLOCVia Campesina movement in Latin America, and the Occupy movement in the United&nbsp;States. We summarise some of the strategies each social movement has used to encourage the integration of women&rsquo;s rights and gender justice in both internal and external-facing work; discuss some of the challenges that the movements have faced in implementing these strategies; distil common lessons from the three experiences; and&nbsp;end by suggesting some prerequisites for positive gender transformation in social&nbsp;justice movements. This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.

    Export search results

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
