 ‘Missing Women’ is opening at the University of Regina’s
fifth parallel gallery today from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. The exhibition features
work by students from various disciplines who travelled to Mexico City in May for
a Women's Studies course, "Studies on Violence and Women in Mexico," taught
by Prof. Brenda Anderson.
The course examined the underpinnings of violence against
Indigenous women in Mexico,
including displacement and dispossession of land, cultural genocide and sexual
violence as a strategy of domination.
Stories of conquest
As part of the class, students were expected to create
journals that reflected their experience in Mexico. The students studied
at the Evangelical
Lutheran Church
in America (ELCA) in the "Transformational Immersion Program".
The ELCA's program methodology is popular education and liberation theology with guest lectures,
tours and visits to impoverished Indigenous communities. Write Comment (1 Comments) |

Women's groups are organizing to stop Bill C484, which is nothing less than a back-door attack on women's reproductive freedom. The Private Member's Bill introduced by Edmonton MP Ken Epp has been erroneously dubbed the Unborn Victims of Crime Bill and pretends to "protect" pregnant women and the fetuses they carry. Many were surprised when it passed Second Reading in the House of Commons just before International Women's Day. At issue is the fact that the Bill will contadict Canadian law that states personhood begins at birth, opening the door to restrictions on legal abortion.

Those who experience poverty are often viewed by others through
stereotypes. PhotoVoice, an exhibit that will be launched Oct. 17,
displays the perspectives of prairie women on poverty and public policy, allowing
the viewer to see
life as experienced by the women through their own eyes.
Twelve Regina women from diverse backgrounds and social locations have
participated in the project.
The participants took photographs and wrote text to accompany their pictures with their storytelling
becoming a complement to their visual images.

Dear friends,
It is with great sadness that I must inform you that, because of the Conservative government's changes in funding policies to women's groups, the National Association of Women and the Law is forced to lay off all staff and shut down its national office. NAWL's Board will keep the organization alive on a volunteer basis, but our capacity to consult with women's groups and advocate for feminist law reform will be greatly diminished.
