Calling all Women and Men to support Women ! This Tuesday August 15th in Galway city, at the top of Shop Street beside Brown Thomas & the Wilde statue, a 12-hour FAST from 12 noon till 12 midnight. Join us and sign Petition to Kofi Annan (secretary-general of the United Nations) demanding the implementation of the UN Resolution to accord Women their rightful share in negotations for peace and compensation in conflct situations. Resolution after Resolution to this effect have been passed but never implemented -- we have not heard the voice of any autonomous woman or autonomous women's organization in Palestine, the Lebanon, Iraq or Afghanistan -- or for that matter such groups as the Women in Black in Israel -- speaking with authority to resolve the conflicts and stop the war. It is as if they remain invisible and nothing can be solved so long as they so remain. Only the mouthpiece-puppets of Bush and Blair (Condoleezza Rice & Margaret Beckett) are featured in the current discourse.
