Women & the Struggle for Liberation
Saturday Mar 27, 2pm Direct Action Activist Centre, Victorian Trades Hall,
cnr of Lygon and Victoria St, Carlton *DA centre is located next to New International Bookshop in the basement of Trades Hall, entry via Victoria St.
** Everywhere
women are bearing the brunt of the global economic crash and increasing
social inequality - wars & occupations, lost jobs, more
discrimination, and an unrelenting cultural tide aimed at reversing the
gains of the feminist movement.
But
women are not simply on the frontline of government and corporate
attacks, they are also on the frontline of resistance - leading major
struggles against war, occupations, poverty and discrimination.
This
seminar will bring together feminist activists to discuss these
experiences of resistance and consider ways of reinvigorating the
struggle for women's liberation.
The
keynote speakers will introduce the discussion by drawing on their
specific experiences with various resistance struggles including
Palestine, Latin America and Australia.
Speakers Include:
Kim Bullimore, recently returned from working in the Occupied West Bank as a human rights volunteer, Direct Action journalist. Lourdes Garcia, Centre for Latin America Studies & Solidarity, Mexican activist recently returned from Mexico. Zely Ariane,
National Network for Womens' Liberation (JNPM) in Indonesia &
Committee of the Politics of the Poor–People’s Democratic Party
(KPRM-PRD), touring Australia.
