16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM: USING ICT
|
 16 Days of Activism on Gender Based Violence starts to date through December 10th, 2008.What is this all about?
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:1. Raising awareness about gender-based violence as a human rights issue at the local, national, regional and international levels2. Strengthening local work around violence against women3. Establishing a clear link between local and international work to end violence against women4. Providing a forum in which organizers can develop and share new and effective strategies5. Demonstrating the solidarity of women around the world organizing against violence against women6. Creating tools to pressure governments to implement promises made to eliminate violence against womenOver 2,000 organizations in approximately 154 countries have participated in the 16 Days Campaign since 1991!And this year, there is a lot of online collaborations to end gender based violence.

Molly is Missing
|
My lovely aggressive Molly is missing. I came back from South Africa to hear this disturbing news. She is in heat, broke the net of the kitchen window and escaped with some stray cats! She is due to be neutered just by this Month end as she was breast feeding when I wanted to get her neutered. Now I am ready to get her fix but my baby is missing! I wonder where she is now. I do hope I find her. It will be disastrous for her to have kittens as a stray cat not in Lagos, not in Nigeria! I went to a particular house to find out if they see any stray cat around; the man I met was surprised that I was asking about for a cat!
Molly where are you? Pls make me happy and come back home. Just find your way back, you CAN!
