Conferencia "Sociedad civil y movimientos de mujeres en Irán"
18 enero 2008, la conferencia, que será en farsi con traducción simultánea al castellano, tendrá lugar a las 19:00 en la Sala María Zambrano del Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid (c/ Alcalá, 42), España.
Casa Árabe e Instituto Internacional de Estudios Árabes y del Mundo
Musulmán (IEAM) organiza, el próximo 18 de enero en Madrid, la Tribuna "Sociedad civil y movimientos de mujeres en Irán", que ofrecerá la iraní
Shalah Sherkat. La ponencia será presentada por Maria Jesús Merinero, profesora titular de Historia Contemporánea de la Universidad de Extremadura.
Sherkat (Isfahán, 1956) es periodista y una de las voces más
representativas del lamado "feminismo islámico". Simpatizante de la revolución islámica de 1979, fue directora durante ocho años de Zan-e Ruz
(Mujer de Hoy), revista de la que fue cesada por tener una actitud
excesivamente militante con los derechos de las mujeres.
Este hecho la llevó a fundar Zanan (Mujeres), que actualmente dirige, una publicación considerada vehículo reformista cercano a los planteamientos
laicos y musulmanes liberales. Desde sus páginas aborda temas sociales y políticos con audacia, lo que en ocasiones ha llevado a sus colaboradores ante los tribunales o la cárcel.

Dear feminist activist,
Dr. Tiller needs your help! The extremists are trying to shut him down. In what could become a "witch hunt", a grand jury has begun its investigation of Dr. George Tiller for supposed violations of Kansas abortion law.
The grand jury was convened after the extremist group Operation Rescue joined with Kansans for Life to file a citizen petition under an 1887 Kansas law. It took only 6,186 signatures to launch this latest attack in a relentless campaign to close down this vitally needed clinic.
Please also show your support by sending Dr. Tiller and his staff at Women's Health Care Services a letter, letting them know how much you appreciate their continued work to protect women's health and lives in the face of continuing attacks on their clinic. ..http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1 400/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=22291
Despite over 20 years of anti-abortion harassment, intimidation, and violence, his clinic was bombed in 1986 and he was shot five times in 1993, Dr. Tiller remains steadfast in his mission to provide compassionate and quality healthcare to women seeking late term abortions because of illness or very troubled pregnancies. He is there when few other doctors will help.
The Feminist Majority Foundation's National Clinic Access Project, the oldest and largest in the country, has worked with Dr. Tiller for more than 15 years to counter the constant attacks and threats of anti-abortion activists. We must make it clear now that we will not allow a small group of zealots pervert the law to advance their extremist agenda.
For Women's Lives,
Eleanor Smeal
President
Katherine Spillar
Executive Vice President

From INCITE! Boletin
NEW ORLEANS WOMEN’S HEALTH & JUSTICE INITIATIVE SPONSORS ORGANIZING
INSTITUTES (NEW ORLEANS, LA)
The New Orleans Women’s Health & Justice Initiative (WHJI), a project of INCITE! New Orleans, will be sponsoring a series of ‘Organizing Institutes’ throughout 2008, focused on (1) examining and challenging all forms of gender and sexuality-based violence against women of color and poor women in our communities; and (2) developing grassroots strategies to equip those most disenfranchised by the medical industry with the means to control and care for their own bodies, sexuality, and reproduction. Topics will include:
* Developing Alternatives to Incarceration for Addressing Violence Against Women of Color;
* Reproductive Justice 101 & 102;
* The Feminization of Disasters; Understanding Law Enforcement Violence Against Women of Color and Trans People of Color;
* Black Women and Violence;
* Rape Culture and Sexual Violence,
* Women’s Health & Reproductive Technologies;
* Gender & Displacement; and
* Women, Poverty and Criminalization to name a few!
WHJI is committed to advancing a sexual health and reproductive justice movement in New Orleans that understands the impact of violence, poverty, gender inequalities, reproductive control legislation, trauma, coercive
sterilization and dangerous contraception policies, and the harmful effects of toxic environments have on women’s health and well-being[1].
Our first Organizing Institute, scheduled for Saturday, January 26, 2008 at 1452 N. Broad Ave (The Children's Defense Fund Office) from 10:00 am - 4:oo
pm, will be on Reproductive Justice 101. SAVE the DATE! Long time human rights activist, feminist, and reproductive justice organizer Loretta Ross of SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective, will be leading
the workshop.
For more information or to RSVP, please contact us at whji_info@yahoo.com
or call
Mandisa Moore at 504-931-8482.
To learn more about SisterSong, check out their website at
www.sistersong.net.
**The New Orleans Women’s Health & Justice Initiative (WHJI, the Initiative) was formed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina through the organizing
efforts of INCITE! New Orleans and local health care practitioners and
activists challenging the social invisibility of women color and poor women experiences, vulnerabilities, and health care needs. Our mission is to develop community-based strategies to improve the social and economic health and well-being of women of color by 1) centering the experiences of
low-income and uninsured women of color living in the intersections of
oppression based on race, gender identity and express, sexuality,
immigration status, ability and class; and (2) addressing the social, economic, culture, and political conditions that impact women’s health.
THE WHJI PRIORTIZES THE PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN OF COLOR IN ALL OF OUR EVENTS
