16 Days of Activism Campaign Against Gender Violence The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign originating from the first Women's Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women's Global Leadership in 1991. Participants chose the dates, November 25, International Day Against Violence Against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day, in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights. This 16-day period also highlights other significant dates including November 29, International Women Human Rights Defenders Day, December 1, World AIDS Day, and December 6, which marks the Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre. The 16 Days Campaign has been used as an organizing strategy by individuals and groups around the world to call for the elimination of all forms of violence against women by: raising awareness about gender-based violence as a human rights issue at the local, national, regional and international levels strengthening local work around violence against women establishing a clear link between local and international work to end violence against women providing a forum in which organizers can develop and share new and effective strategies demonstrating the solidarity of women around the world organizing against violence against women creating tools to pressure governments to implement promises made to eliminate violence against women Weitere Informationen finden Sie auf der Webseite: [Center for Women's Global Leadership]

Stop the Gang Rapes - Bangladesh On the 16th of June, Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD) will launch its year long campaign: Bangladesh: 'Stop the Gang Rapes'. This campaign, along with active humanitarian assistance can make a difference. By increasing awareness of the horrible atrocities which are taking place in Bangladesh, it will become more and more difficult for the government of Bangladesh to keep denying the facts. In the process, GHRD also aims to provide a basic level of security and stability for the victims of abuse with the goal of reintegrating them into their communities.

Mama Cash: Campaign 88 Days December 10 2006 - March 8 2007 Campaign 88 Days is a worldwide effort to raise awareness, take action and mobilize resources for women’s rights. In the 88 days between International Human Rights Day (December 10th 2006), and International Women’s Day (March 8th 2007), women from around the world are banding together to make a difference for women’s rights. Mama Cash is a women's fund which finances projects conceived by women; strong women who set an example for others, who know first-hand experience that it is possible to turn the tide if women know their rights and claim them. 8 Projects Supported by Mama Cash South Africa: education on AIDS by comic book The Transformative Human Rights Unit (THRU), uses comic books to fight social prejudice on hiv infected women. THRU also uses comic books to inform women about the Equality Courts. Women that need legal advice because of gender related discrimination they face, can turn to these easily accessible ‘courts’, where they get assistance at very low cost. Israel: a voice for lesbian women Aswat, which means voice in Arabic, was formed in 2003 by a group of women who wanted to add a Palestinian lesbian voice to the Israeli gay movement. They are a dynamic and brave group of women who want to break with the taboo around homosexuality. Aswat members fight for the rights of lesbian women who face triple discrimination in a country where they’re discriminated against as Palestinians living under Israeli rule, as women in a male-dominated society, and as lesbians in an Arab community where there’s no official word for ‘gay’. Thailand/Birma: refugee camps along the border Karen Women's Organisation (KWO) in Thailand, with membership of more than 30,000 women from Karen, a district in Burma, supports and organises Burmese women in the struggle for democracy and equality in Burma. The country's civil war has led to overflowing refugee camps along the Thai-Burma border. This is where KWO is active. KWO Women's Protection Programme empowers refugee women, raises awareness of their rights, and supports victims of violence through education and facilitating the exchange of experiences. KWO's Safe House Project provides a temporary refuge for victims of domestic violence, rape and trafficking. Ecuador: struggle for sexual rights Although over the last years access to information about contraceptives has grown in Latin America, many women, particularly young women, lack knowledge and access to contraceptive methods. Many conservative groups in society inhibit awareness raising efforts to reach women, particularly young women, although the use of (emergency) contraception is legal in Ecuador. Fundacion Desafio (meaning Challenge) is a courageous group which promotes and protects the right to access emergency contraception. Their health centre provides services for a minimal, or no, charge and treats all women regardless of their age, economic means or marital status. Poland: education on sexual behaviour for high school students Volunteers of the Ponton organization teach high school students on sexual behaviour and birth control. Ponton works in the Warschau region, where the lessons are given at school to students between 14 and 20 years old. ‘We get questions like “I took one of my mother’s birth control pills and then had sex. Is this bad for my health?”, says Anka Grzywacz of Ponton. The questions from young people illustrate how poorly informed they are about sexuality. As a result teenage pregnancy in Poland is a serious problem. Azerbeidzjan: Femina: monthly supplement to the newspaper Former Soviet Union (FSU) women appear in the press mostly as fashion or entertainment figures and rarely as professionals, experts in their fields or as participants in political and social processes. The image of a woman as mother and keeper of the hearth prevails. Nothing is said about women’s unemployment, domestic violence, problems of women’s entrepreneurs or self-realisation. The Azeri organisation, Azerbaijan Young Lawyers’ Union (AYLU), published a monthly supplement to the Russian-Azeri newspaper Zerkalo. This supplement is called Femina and is devoted to gender equality in society: equal rights and opportunities. Bolivia: Campana 28 de Septiembre Campana 28 de Septiembre por la despenalizacion del Aborto en Bolivia aims to reanimate the somewhat dormant Bolivian women’s movement. Campana 28 de Septiembre organised a national congress around the theme of legalizing abortion. The event lasted from the 15th through the 17th of June 2006, and one of its accomplishments was the creation of a ‘platform of demands’ for women’s reproductive rights. The goal of the platform is to influence the Morales government which is in the process of drafting a new constitution. The Bolivian women’s rights activists argue in the platform of demands not only for a constitutional right to reproductive freedom, but also for the separation of church and state and for broadening the definition of the family beyond the traditional family. Women held a demonstration and presented the document on September 28th to the government in front of the national parliament. Central Europe: fighting trafficking The Anti Trafficking Centre is a feminist non-governmental organization working to eradicate trafficking in human beings, with the special emphasis on women and girls. The work of ATC focuses on the causes of the problem of trafficking, such as gender-based violence, poverty, unemployment, and the lack of safe migration. ATC organises public advocacy, media campaigns, provides information to women and girls, and includes men as allies in the struggle for stopping violence against women, which is one of the root causes of trafficking in human beings.

Kampala Resolution on Women, Peace and Conflict To:  United Nations Security Council, NGOs, & Select U.N. delegations Preamble: Women suffer inordinately in times of armed conflict. They are stakeholders in the search for sustainable peace. Their involvement in the peace processes is not a luxury, it is an absolute necessity. Women's views and strategies must be sought after- from the grassroots up to the top. This should be accompanied by capacity building. Women's involvement should not only be based on their training but also on their experiences in conflicts. Women call upon governments to invest in programs that deal with the roots causes of armed conflicts in order to secure a just and sustainable peace. These include dealing with prejudices and stereotyping, genuinely tackling poverty and inequitable development, investing in democratic governance that prevents war, promoting coexistence and the right to be different. Governments should also show restraint and stop employing militarism against innocent civilians. We urge the United Nations to implement their own Resolutions, including the recently adopted SC Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, in order to lead the way. The conveners of Women's Worlds 8th International Congress held in Kampala, Uganda, July 2002, adopted the following Resolution: 1. Create an Observatory on Gender, Peace and Security that will be based in Europe. The Observatory will engage in research and documentation, trainings, the creation of a database of women, peace and security experts and organisations. This Observatory must be financially supported by the international donor community and will be responsible for funding women's peace-building activities. 2. Disseminate information on women, peace and security activities, processes and best practices, through the internet and other communication medium; this includes making accessible a database of women leaders and professionals in conflict, peace and security issues. 3. Develop and provide training to women for them to effectively participate in peace, security and reconstruction processes; including mandatory gender awareness, human rights and humanitarian law training for all staff involved in peace keeping missions. 4. Encourage national governments, international organisations and civil society to achieve gender balance in peace-keeping, peace negotiations, reconstruction and early warning especially at decision making levels; by requiring national governments -as member countries of international organisations- to provide an annual gender audit detailing the numbers of women sent or seconded to international peace processes and missions and the professional capacity and level of these women. 5. Create and effectively implement mechanisms that ensure the security of women and children in conflict areas. 6. National governments and international organisations must commit themselves to holding accountable national troops and staff involved in peacekeeping missions who commit human rights violations against the local population or against other international staff. 7. National governments, international organisations and civil society, must integrate programs on gender awareness and peace education at all levels of the educational system, contributing to the organisation of the youth and building their capacity to participate effectively in peace building. 8. UNHCR, the UN system and other international organisations responsible for refugees and others conflict affected populations must provide effective programmes including income generation, training and education for these populations in order to contribute to their peace and security needs. Women refugees must be included in the decision-making mechanisms of the camps in order to ensure the equitable distribution of relief aid and other types of assistance. 9. Women's reproductive health needs as a direct result of sexual violence and rape in war, resulting in STD's, HIV/AIDs and other reproductive health problems should be recognised as a human rights issue and specialised treatment should be provided. 10. War affected women should be included in international peace missions and peace exchanges. Women themselves should be instruments of peace, building on the wealth of their experiences in the community and at the grassroots level. 11. Traditional mechanisms used by women for conflict resolution and peace building should be supported and institutionalised. 12. Countries, groups and individuals responsible for manufacturing and peddling arms must be held accountable to existing international standards and mechanisms, and required to commit themselves instead to investment in development. 13. United Nations must appoint a Special Rapporteur to oversee and produce a report on media depictions of women, particularly in conflict situations. 14. The international donor community must provide sustained and adequate funding for activities related to women, peace and security issues. The funds will be held in trust by the Observatory as elaborated in point 1. 15. Women and men must advocate for the adoption of this resolution by their respective governments and engage in advocacy and lobbying at the national, regional and international levels. **The Kampala Resolution was drafted 27 July 2002 by Ancil Adrian-Paul, Eva Dalak, Marian Douglas, Patrick Mbuthia, and Gina Van Schalk. Reverend Grace Ndyabahika coordinated the Women, Peace and Conflict track and convened the drafting group. Sincerely, The Undersigned Website zur Unterschrift sowie mit weiteren Informationen: [Kampala Resolution]

Kampagne gegen die Steinigung von Frauen im Iran Die Kampagne setzt an 11 aktuellen Fällen an. Neun Frauen und zwei Männer sind zur Zeit zum Tod durch Steinigung verurteilt. Die Kampagne sammelt Unterschriften gegen diese Urteile und richtet sich mit ihren Forderungen an die Gerichte im Iran, konkret: an Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, höchster Vertreter der Gerichtsbarkeit. Informationen zur Kampagne [Stop Stoning Campaign] Text der Petition To: His Excellency Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi Cc: Mr. Golam-Ali Haddad-Adel, The Iranian Parliament Leader     We are extremely concerned that “stoning to death” is still practiced as a punishment within the Iranian legal system. As the head of the Judiciary, you ordered a ban on the practice of stoning in December 2002.  However, the practice of stoning has not stopped.  In May 2006, a woman and a man, Mahboobeh M. and Abbas H, were stoned in Mashhad .   Prior to the stoning, they were treated as if they were lifeless corpses; their bodies were washed in the mortuary according to the Islamic rituals for washing the dead and they were wrapped in “kafan”, the white shroud that should cover the body of a dead Muslim. Then Mahboubeh and Abbas were buried up to their shoulders and waists, respectively. The two then became the target for a crowd that had volunteered to gradually kill them by throwing stones. The stones, based on Article 104 of the Islamic Penal Code of Iran were not too small to not hurt them, and not too large to kill quickly, but the size to guarantee an extremely painful death.  The stoning was also a show of absolute hatred and humiliation by the crowd that put them to death.   It is most disturbing to see that at least eleven more people, including 9 women: Parisa A. (Adel Abad Prison, Shiraz ) Kobra N. (Tabriz Prison, Tabriz) Kheireyeh V. (Sepidar Prison, Ahwaz) Iran A. (Sepidar Prison, Ahwaz) Malak (Shamameh) Ghorbani (Orumieh Prison, Oroumieh) Hajieh Esmailvand (Jolfa Prison, Jolfa) Soghra Molawyi (Varamin Prison, Varamin) Ashraf Kalhori (Evin Prison, Tehran ) Fatemeh ( Tehran ) and 2 men: Abdollah Farivar (Sari Prison, Sari) Najaf A. (Adel-Abad Prison, Shiraz ), are currently awaiting execution by stoning and there may be more cases in other prisons that we are unaware of.   According to Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, signed and ratified by Iran in 1975, “sentence of death may be imposed only for the most serious crimes”.  Article 7 of the same covenant states that “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”  Are we to believe that “adultery” constitutes one of the “most serious crimes”?  And even where that to be so, should Iran neglect its commitment to international treaties?   The Iranian penal code authorizes a judge to convict the accused in spite of a lack of evidence and to hand down the cruel punishment of stoning if he desires to do so.  Article 105 of the Islamic Penal Code of Iran allows for subjective sentencing when it authorizes the judge to make a ruling in stoning cases based on his personal understanding in those cases where there is not sufficient evidence to prove that “adultery” has happened.  Therefore, more people are liable to be subjected to stoning in this judiciary system. We see no justice in the courts when a judge is authorized to make such subjective rulings.   As the head of the Judiciary, you are responsible for fair trials, implementation of justice, and improving the judicial system through judicial orders and proposing policies to parliament.  Hence, we are writing to bring to your attention the urgent need to reform the legal system and eradicate the cruel, inhumane, and degrading punishment of stoning.   We, the undersigned, believe that adultery does not constitute one of “the most serious crimes”, and more importantly, believe that no crime deserves the punishment of stoning. Therefore, we are urging you as the head of the Judiciary to change the trial procedures such that no sentence is based solely on the judge’s personal understanding, and that any accused person should be convicted if, and only if, there is a sufficient amount of credible evidence to prove the charges.   Furthermore, we are asking you to use your power and authority in cooperation with parliament to modify the Iranian penal code in order to ensure that your order to ban stoning becomes law and the Iranian legal system will never ever again practice “stoning to death” as a punishment for any crime.   Sincerely,

Fahnenaktion gegen Gewalt an Frauen Rund um den 25. November, dem Internationalen Tag "NEIN zu Gewalt an Frauen" wird in vielen Städten die TERRE DES FEMMES-Fahne "frei leben - ohne gewalt" gehisst. Seit Beginn der Fahnenaktion vor fünf Jahren wurden in rund 800 Städten und Gemeinden mehr als 3000 Fahnen und Banner aufgezogen und damit ein sichtbares Zeichen gesetzt, um gegen Gewalt an Frauen zu protestieren. Für TERRE DES FEMMES ist der 25. November außerdem der Auftakt für das aktuelle zweijährige Kampagnenthema "NEIN zu Häuslicher Gewalt - frauen schlägt mann nicht!". Jede dritte Frau in Deutschland kennt Gewalt in der Partnerschaft. Gleichzeitig ist "Häusliche Gewalt" aber eines der größten Tabus unserer Gesellschaft. Wir hoffen, dass wir mit unserer Kampagne dieses Schweigen durchbrechen und für mehr Hilfe sorgen können. Was können Sie tun? Ob als Gruppe oder Institution mit der großen Fahne, ob als Einzelperson mit dem Banner - mit den TERRE DES FEMMES Materialien können Sie ebenfalls auf den 25. November aufmerksam machen und sind damit Teil einer bundesweiten, großartigen Bewegung für Gleichberechtigung und Chancengleichheit von Frauen. Schicken Sie uns auch Fotos Ihrer Aktion, die wir im Internet oder in unseren Broschüren veröffentlichen können! Im Flyer finden Sie mehr Informationen über die geplante Auftaktveranstaltung in Frankfurt, sowie über ein Jugend- Musiktheaterstück, das für die TERRE DES FEMMES Kampagne geschrieben wurde. Setzen auch Sie ein Zeichen und lassen Sie im November die Fahne wehen! - Materialien, Broschüren und Fahnen können Sie direkt im TERRE DES FEMMES Internet Shop bestellen [Terres des Femmes].

FOR DIGNITY OF THE SURVIVORS For the first time in history raping of women, executed during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in a planned and organized way, was declared a war crime and a crime against humanity.  But even 10 years after the war has been finished in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the destinies of women who survived war rape did not initiate the state institutions to adjust legal frameworks to the needs of these women.  There is no law that treats status of women who survived crime of war rape which, commonly, was done repeatedly.  Nobody still knows precisely how many women survived war rape. Only the fact that there were thousands is for sure. It is also unknown how many children have been born out of those horror crimes. These women, with exception of rare cases, are generally without the financial support; unemployed, and with significantly decreased labour capacities as a consequence of the survived trauma.  They are not enabled for additional professional training or changing the working qualification.  For all these facts they are economically dependant.  Most survivors of war rape do not have adequate health protection or the access to psychosocial support.  The issue of their accommodation is unresolved.  They did not receive support for education of their children.  They live with their traumas kept inside.  The burden of silenced trauma is often a boundary for return of these women to pre-war places of residence and they do not file applications for return of the property. Only the rare ones have had gathered the strength to apply for civil victim of war status recognition and achieved minimum financial amends set by such status. They do not have possibilities to receive any other indemnity for the consequences of the torture they survived. These women live in silence, at margins of our society, surrounded by their painful memories.  They don’t speak at all, or speak very rarely, about their hard experiences. Those that can not be forgotten. Their memories should be our memories too; their sacrifices do not concern them only, but should concern all of us; and not only here-at these territories. Women who survived war rapes must not be neglected and forgotten. That lesson is for all to be learned; so it would not repeat. For these reasons, this campaign advocates for: - Adoption of amendments to current law that would enable women survivors of war trauma to exercise the rights set for civil victims of war. - Passing the law on state level that would unify regulations of rights of war torture survivors, including women war rape survivors, and ensure means for implementation of the law.  You can give your support by posting support message to [za_dostojanstvo_prezivjelih@yahoogroups.com] by using message subject "FOR Dignity of The Survivors" or posting online by using the [Yahoogroup Dignity of The Survivors] (if you are registered yahoo user).

Offener Aufruf Frauen aus Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Politik haben eine Initiative für Geschlechterdemokratie gestartet. Der Aufruf richtet sich an die künftige Bundesregierung.   Jetzt einmischen - für Geschlechterdemokratie Was wir von der Politik erwarten: Politische Anforderungen an jede Bundesregierung Wir, die Unterzeichnerinnen und Unterzeichner dieses Aufrufs, fordern eine Politik, die den Lebensrealitäten von Frauen und Männern gerecht wird! Macht und Geld sind noch nicht gleich zwischen Frauen und Männern verteilt. Das ist ein Armutszeugnis für die Demokratie in unserem Land. Politik darf dieses geschlechterdemokratische Defizit nicht hinnehmen und muss die Gesellschaft entsprechend umgestalten. Dazu brauchen wir eine lebendige und fantasievolle politische Kultur, in der sich die vorhandenen Kenntnisse und vielfältigen Erfahrungen von Menschen entfalten können. Die gleichberechtigte Teilhabe von Frauen auf allen Entscheidungsebenen, eine Umverteilung von Erwerbs-, Familien- und ehrenamtlicher Arbeit zwischen Frauen und Männern sind wichtige Bestandteile dieser zukünftigen Demokratie. Gesellschaftliche Probleme werden nicht gelöst, indem in Zeiten des Umbruchs auf alte Muster und Strukturen zurückgegriffen wird, um Sicherheit in alt Bewährtem zu suggerieren. Versuche a la Paul Kirchhof Frauen auf die Arbeit im Haus und Männer auf die Arbeit im Beruf zu beschränken, sind realitätsfern und wirtschaftlich unsinnig. Die schleichende Abkehr vom Grundsatz "Starke Schultern müssen mehr tragen" durch Kopfpauschale und flat tax verschlechtert die Lage von Frauen zu Gunsten von Männern, da Frauen in der Regel über niedrigere Einkommen verfügen. Eine Politik, die Frauen zurückdrängt in die Abhängigkeit von Mann und Staat, lehnen wir ab! Eine zukünftige Bundesregierung soll: es Frauen und Männern ermöglichen, ihre Existenz eigenständig zu sichern.  die sozialen Sicherungssysteme durch die Einführung einer Bürgerversicherung und einer existenzsichernden Grundsicherung so umbauen, dass auch Menschen mit berufsbiographischen Lücken langfristig abgesichert sind.  eine moderne Familienpolitik vorantreiben, die auch die Männer einbezieht und statt der Ehe das Zusammenleben mit Kindern fördert.  Diskriminierung von Frauen entschieden bekämpfen. Hierfür ist ein Antidiskriminierungsgesetz ein wesentlicher Baustein.  die Privatwirtschaft mit einem Gleichstellungsgesetz in die Pflicht nehmen.  die Verwirklichung des Grundsatzes "Gleicher Lohn für gleichwertige Arbeit" anstreben und Maßnahmen zu seiner Verwirklichung einleiten.  eine Infrastruktur schaffen, die hilft partnerschaftliche Modelle von Familie, Erwerbsarbeit und bürgerschaftlichem Engagement zu vereinbaren.  darauf hinwirken, dass die Gesellschaft ihre gemeinsame Verantwortung für Kinderbetreuung und Pflege wahrnimmt. Der Ausbau der Kinderbetreuung, auch für unter 3-jährige, die Förderung verlässlicher Ganztagsschulen sind wichtige Schritte.  den Ansatz des Gender Mainstreaming engagiert weiter entwickeln und umsetzen. Die Weiterentwicklung der politischen Kultur benötigt die Expertise und Ideenvielfalt aus Wissenschaft, Kultur und Zivilgesellschaft! Damit es am 18. September nicht zu einem geschlechterpolitischen Rückschritt kommt, rufen wir alle Frauen und Männer dazu auf, die Parteien sorgfältig darauf hin zu prüfen, ob sie die unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen, Lebensrealitäten und Bedürfnisse von Frauen und Männern im Blick haben und wie sie diese gestalten wollen. Unterschriften können Sie leisten unter: [frauenpolitik-jetzt.de]
