As regular as March snow flurries is our Day. Did you know that now it sells (Humor)? It's also the time to make pretty speeches, and, of course!, the time to organize, meet, exchange (Agit'Prop =96 And us?). This year, press coverage was honorable. But there are subjects that are ignored or barely mentioned: abolition of prostitution, for example, that is a big issue in Europe (Documents/Citizenship). The massacre of the pre-Islamic statues called attention to another massacre in Afghanistan =96 that of women. For the statues, it's too late, but for the women, the fight continues (Solidarity). It is essential to get behind it because the impunity of the Taleban puts wind in the sails of those in other countries, in the name is Islam, harden the repression against women (Agit'Prop). While in the America of Bush, the religious right is trimming the sails in all legality of their rights (Agit'Prop). Resistances, fortunately, are making headway. Present at Porto Alegre (And us?), feminists will also be at the World Conference Against Racism in South Africa (Agenda) and at the People's Summit in Quebec (And us?). In rural, rather macho, France, women farmers are defending their jobs, their status, their environment (OtherTake /Spotlight - Points of View). Respect of the human being, respect of nature: the same claims dominate here, in Brazil or in Senegal, where other women of the earth share their experiences (OtherTake / Points of view).
