Some links for International Women's Day
Mar. 8th, 2010 05:36 pmI'm still hella behind on, approximately, everything, and I don't even have the excuse of a job to go to. But I'm getting a bit closer to the surface of the heap-of-urgent-stuff, and couldn't help noticing the date.
The F Word has a lot of posts up today:
Million Women Rise 2010 - a report on the march in London, with photos; and a link to their previous post about the failure of MWR to get off the fence about trans inclusion
Turkey: IWD for those on the margins of society
International Women’s Day 2010: Supporting women’s organisations and services
Women, a review of the BBC series which starts tonight
Charter of Rights of Women Seeking Asylum with links to Asylum Aid
Three rape crisis centres to open in London this year! = success for the "Boris Keep Your Promise" campaign.
International Women’s Day 2010: Women’s rights abroad are not a UK priority - the Government's actions don't match their rhetoric [the field of women's rights isn't unique in that!]. "Selling the invasion of Afghanistan as a mission to liberate women was a terrible blunder which may well have done more harm than good to efforts to promote women’s rights abroad, confirming for many their suspicions that gender equality is a concept used for advancing an imperialist agenda."
International Women’s Day 2010: celebrate the women in your life where Laura starts us off by celebrating her sister.
There are lots of posts on other sites too, but that's enough to be going on with! Anyone want to recommend your favourite round-ups?
