Proiect-Marturii.ro pe combaterea violentei de gen
Impartaseste, informeaza-te, actioneaza! Pe site-ul:
— — — — — — —
PROIECT-MARTURII.RO
— — — — — — —
poti
— CITI marturii despre violenta si povestiri despre hartuire
— sau TRIMITE propriile marturii pentru a fi afisate.
DESPRE PROIECT: Ideea de a crea un asemenea site “pentru marturii” este legata de faptul ca povestile despre violenta suferita in special de femei, atat pe strazi si in alte spatii publice cat si in casele lor, sunt in majoritatea cazurilor ascunse, ne-impartasite, un secret “rusinos” cu care cele (si uneori cei) care supravietuiesc trebuie sa se lupte singuri.
Mai multe informatii utile despre violenta se pot gasi pe PAGINA DE RESURSE a site-ului.
E bine sa stii ca:
– Nu e niciodata vina victimei! “Victimele” sunt persoane care au supravietuit violentei si merita sprijin si respect.
– Ca persoana care a supravietuit, ai tot dreptul sa vorbesti despre ce ti s-a intamplat si sa gasesti ajutor.
– PUTEM SA FACEM CEVA!

COMUNICAT DE PRESA
Copilul vegetarian – “ba al nostru e mai sanatos”
Rm. Valcea, 27 februarie, 2007
Casa de Editura Advent anunta lansarea cartii „Copilul vegetarian”, sub semnatura autoarei Elena Pridie. Volumul, foarte asteptat pe o piata a alimentatiei sanatoase din ce in ce mai bogata si provocatoare in informatii si produse, vine sa umple un gol resimtit de-a lungul anilor: cum sa ne hranim copiii sanatos? Poate fi vegetarianismul un stil de viata optim chiar si pentru cei mici?
Elena Pridie a scris din nou. Ne-a scris din nou. Dupa zecile de mii de exemplare vandute din cele cinci titluri de pana acum, care o recomanda, fara indoiala, printre cele mai bine vandute autoare din Romania, Elena Pridie a ales sa scrie o carte cu totul noua. Probabil ca aceasta trebuia sa fie prima. Iar daca abia acum iese pe piata, este doar pentru ca experienta acumulata sa asigure temelia unui mesaj pe cat de provocator, pe atat de vrednic de a fi implinit.
Dincolo de gospodina eficienta, de femeia care tine intreaga casa si masa printr-o administrare inteleapta – tinta constanta a titlurilor anterioare – Elena Pridie pluseaza acum o imagine cu cel mai mare impact in familie: sanatatea copiilor nostri.

– Global Women’s Strike 2007
Celebrating International Women’s Day around the world
INVEST IN CARING NOT KILLING! Women & girls do 2/3 of the world’s work, most of it unwaged. $1 trillion/year is spent on the military worldwide, more than half by the US. 10% of this would provide the essentials of life for all: water, sanitation, basic health, nutrition, literacy, and a minimum income.
The Global Women’s Strike network, with national co-ordinations in 11 countries and participating organisations in over 60 countries, is demanding the return of military budgets to the community, beginning with women the main carers of people and the planet. Women, and men who support our goals, take action together on 8 March, International Women’s Day, and throughout the year. In this way each grassroots struggle is backed by our collective power. …
– “Ending Impunity for Violence against Women and Girls”
Is the theme for International Women’s Day 2007
Learn more about how United Nations celebrate IWD
In 1975, during International Women’s Year, the United Nations began celebrating 8 March as International Women’s Day. Two years later, in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and national traditions. For the United Nations, International Women’s Day has been observed on 8 March since 1975. The Day is traditionally marked with a message from the Secretary-General.
Why dedicate a day exclusively to the celebration of the world’s women?
In adopting its resolution on the observance of Women’s Day, the General Assembly cited two reasons: to recognize the fact that securing peace and social progress and the full enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms require the active participation, equality and development of women; and to acknowledge the contribution of women to the strengthening of international peace and security. For the women of the world, the Day’s symbolism has a wider meaning: It is an occasion to review how far they have come in their struggle for equality, peace and development. It is also an opportunity to unite, network and mobilize for meaningful change.

Campaign for Abolition of all Misogynic Gender Based legislation in Iran

To all women who suffer from inequality
To all activists and organisations of the Iranian women’s Movement
In the last 26 years, Islamic legislation has deprived Iranian women of the most basic human rights. Forced veiling has reduced women to second class citizens. Honour killing is legal and women are condemned to hanging and death by stoning for “unchaste behaviour”.
Let us join forces and create a powerful united campaign to eradicate these unequal laws and Islamic punishments against women as soon as possible. Let us make our voice in opposition to these laws heard throughout the world. Let us create such a storm that no one would ever dare impose such retrograde laws on us.
If you are against death by stoning!
If you are against forced veiling!
If you are against prosecution and imprisonment of women!
If you are against lashing a woman’s body!
If you are against any form of patriarchy!
If you are against all the medieval laws of Iran’s Islamic Republic imposing inequality against women!
