Many people from LATAM don't usually like this term and unfortunately these people are not with us during the Tor meetings. Personally I have been questioned about the name 'global-south' in Chile, Argentina and various regions in Brazil. For anyone interest in the topic, some basic info on why this term is not ideal to many people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_South#Debates_over_the_term > So it's not exactly true that no one has gone into the > process of changing it...it's been discussed in every meeting I've > been in related to global south initiatives. Doesn't the term 'global south' being discussed in every meeting justifies the significant importance of this issue, otherwise would it be a thing to discuss? Saudações, ~Vasilis
