southern africa / gender / non-anarchist press Friday December 11, 2009 - 17:33 by Dale T. McKinley*
It has been ten years since the South African government held its first annual ’16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women’ (and children) campaign. While the campaign has, no doubt, achieved a degree of success in relation to raising awareness, this has clearly not translated into much positive, practical impact. ... read full story / add a comment
east africa / gender / non-anarchist press Wednesday December 02, 2009 - 18:23 by Dan Moshenberg
An Anti-homosexuality Bill has been tabled before the Parliament of Uganda. Many have risen to denounce and oppose it, both within the country and from across the globe. Many others have risen to support it. Some in the Church have argued in favor of the capital punishment in the Bill, others have argued for life imprisonment. The ones arguing for life imprisonment are actually considered to be in opposition to the Bill. After all, in Uganda “homosexuality is already an offence under the Penal Code of Uganda as is same-sex marriage, which is prohibited by the Constitution.” ... read full story / add a comment
southern africa / gender / non-anarchist press Wednesday December 02, 2009 - 15:43 by Prespone Matawira
The lives of Zimbabwean women have deteriorated dramatically over the past decade, writes activist Prespone Matawira, but now is the time to be creative and confront, unpick, challenge patriarchal and capitalist power in order to make lasting change real for women. Feminist consciousness, says Matawira, challenges many of our deep-held assumptions which are not often noticed because they are so pervasive. And its complexity helps us understand other related oppressions based on race, class, age, sexual orientation, and disability. ... read full story / add a comment

Women are in the forefront of the protest against the military coup of 28 June in Honduras. In the last week of June, as the threat of a coup loomed, women’s organisations sprang into action, organising marches, mobilising women, writing and distributing bulletins, and sending information and eyewitness images around the world by email, text and social networking media.

Honduran women’s organisations and individual women from rural and urban areas have come together to resist and protest peacefully in response to the coup and the events that followed. On 29 June they released a public statement calling for the return of the rule of law and respect for human rights by peaceful means, and they have not stopped their communications, despite frequent power cuts. The mainstream news channels are strictly controlled, so their reports provide crucial information by their immediacy and by giving a voice to ordinary people, especially women.

On January 28, little more than a week after Israel concluded its brutal military campaign against the Gaza Strip, James Kirchick published the latest installment (www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid71844.asp) in his growing corpus of articles about tolerant, gay-friendly Israel and homophobic, "Islamofascist" Palestine. Although Kirchick has published essentially the same article under different titles -- "Palestine and Gay Rights" (www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid33587.asp) and "Palestinian Anti-Gay Atrocities Need Attention" (www.innewsweekly.com/innews/?class_code=Op&article_code=783) -- and although he regurgitates the same flimsy, unsupported arguments in all of these articles, we do not write to question his intellectual prowess or journalistic qualifications. In fact, Kirchick’s diatribe against Palestinians and the "radical" gay activists who support them would not warrant a response if it did not, in our view, represent something much bigger and more dangerous.

Inmersas en un carnaval de violencia, millares de mujeres son “botín de guerra” en los conflictos armados de Colombia, Congo, Iraq, Costa de Marfil o Sierra Leona. Allí violan, esclavizan, prostituyen y asesinan mujeres para generar terror, destruir el tejido social, desplazar a la población y humillar al enemigo.

Campaigning against False Medical information and Rogue Agencies

A group of activists comprising individuals, Workers Solidarity Movement, and leftist political parties formed a
Reproductive Rights Movement based in Feminist Principles of parity of esteem and International Solidarity
to highlight the Irish political approach to the abortion issue:

http://choiceireland.org/node10

The Founding docs of the organisation have guided the activists through a maelstrom of appalling
approach to the issue of Criminalising Irish Women and Girls for seeking abortions in a country that
does not advocate the human right to medical intervention in Crisis Pregnancy, nor the right to Choice
in Private Health and Reproductive rights issues. ... read full story / add a comment

The South African Lesbian and Gay Equality Project (LGEP), formerly known as the National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality (NCGLE), is concerned about the deepening political, economic and social crises in Zimbabwe. We express our full solidarity with the lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, women, workers and all the people of Zimbabwe. We add our voice in condemning the unjustified delay in the release of the 29 March elections.
