We became interested in these dynamics as our previous research found that regional networks in the periphery proved critical for successfully advancing women\u2019s status in Lesotho, albeit moderately. We specifically wanted to understand how these transnational linkages have a regional and local basis in women\u2019s rights organizations bolstered not only by global North organizations, but by regional partnerships and hubs within the global South. In other words, we wanted to know what we would learn about women\u2019s rights advocacy efforts if we decentered global North actors and highlighted regional women\u2019s rights organizations networking across borders in the global South.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the complete article:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/csws.uoregon.edu\/docs\/publications\/1503_CSWS_Research_Matters_WEB.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Winter 2015 CSWS Research Matters <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter 2015 CSWS Research Matters: \u201cNetworking for Women\u2019s Rights: Transnational Feminist Organizing in Southern Africa,\u201d by Yvonne A.
