During the 11th Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, the more global character of the international women's movement, which had became visible since the conference in Rome a few years prior, resulted in issues around the Western dominance within the movement, voiced by the Indian representative of the [[National Council of Women in India]].<ref>Parr, R. (2022). [https://www.google.se/books/edition/Citizens_of_Everywhere/M0VFEAAAQBAJ?hl=sv&gbpv=1&dq=Conference+of+the+International+Woman+Suffrage+Alliance+berlin+1929&pg=PA30&printsec=frontcover Citizens of Everywhere: Indian Women, Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism, 1920-1952.] Storbritannien: Cambridge University Press.</ref> Non-Western representatives voiced the need to organize women's movements also in other parts of the world, a need expressed notably by [[Saiza Nabarawi]].<ref>Kingsley Kent, S., Matera, M. (2017). [https://www.google.se/books/edition/The_Global_1930s/-AkqDwAAQBAJ?hl=sv&gbpv=1&dq=Conference+of+the+International+Woman+Suffrage+Alliance+berlin+1929&pg=PT148&printsec=frontcover The Global 1930s: The International Decade.] Storbritannien: Taylor & Francis.</ref> This tendency did have results.
