Cyber
Dialogue on Structures of Violence: Intersections of Militarism and
Violence Against Women
25th
of November- 10th of December 2010
Where: http://isiswicce.wordpress.com/
Isis-WICCE will be actively participating in
the 16 Days of Activism by hosting a cyber dialogue on its newly revamped
website. As an organisation, we have had the
privilege of working with women’s activists globally. Therefore, we would like
to call upon our networks to create a forum where members can share their
thoughts, opinions, and statements on the theme of ‘militarism and violence
against women.’ Participants will be invited to contribute in the cyber
dialogue which they can also share within their networks. The dialogue will
commence on the first day of activism and continue for 16 days with every other
day providing a new engaging question.
The
theme of the 2010 16 Days of Activism is pertinent to the work of Isis-WICCE.
We have seen how conflict and post-conflict situations create atmospheres and
situations where militarism increases violence against women especially taking
into consideration the role the military plays as either perpetrators of
violence or as their mandated role in protecting them. Thus, it is important to
open up a discussion on the structures of violence that do exist and navigate a
way forward.
This
is a call for all parties who are interested to visit the Isis-WICCE Blog
beginning on November 25th 2010 to participate in the dialogue.
