Got Water? Do you see Water as a Radical Profeminist Issue Connected to Rape? Please Learn about the African Indigenous Women's Organisation and the Work it Does

 [image is from here]

Too often, the realities of most of the world's women are made invisible by men in the West. If Western men take up issues of gender justice, the lives, experiences, and challenges facing the majority of the world's women, and Indigenous women specifically, tend not to make the radar screen of compassionate concern and activist engagement. There are many challenges for Western men who wish to be responsible global citizens. De-centering our lives as typical examples of what "human life" entails is crucial, for most people on Earth are neither male nor Western. And the threats to life of women outside our communities are likely not to be reported on by the media, or to be reported on in ways that stereotype and further silence those women, replacing their voices with those of translators, Western anthropologists, and Western scholars who each bring their biases into their reporting.

The availability of clean water primarily impacts women living in poor countries, not rich ones. Poor countries are poor due to colonialism, Western capitalism's globalisation, the WTO, the INF, and white greed and consumption of the world's resources, all of which exists at the expense of all other people. Due to having had sustainable societies that were bound to the land in a symbiotic way, many Indigenous peoples are especially vulnerable to Western civilisation. Genocide is the consequence. Indigenous land, cultures, and people are routinely disregarded and destroyed by Western corporations' raids, violations, and theft of "natural resources". "The First World" (read: the Last World)--its policies, practices, politics, presumptions, and people, often work against the interests of Indigenous women. This is because Western civilisation's survival requires genocide and ecocide. The gendered reality of that is often hidden in the media. Most people killed in land and resource wars and genocide are women. Gynocide is A Radical Profeminist's preferred term for the genocide of women, by men, globally.

Land, water, preservation of culture, languages, and resistance to the misappropriation of all of it, are profeminist issues and ought to be centralised into any analysis of what it means to be an oppressed woman.

Hello sisters I'm so glad to see that you are ready to join us on PWX! I just wanted to ask a few questions about your work if I may. Can you tell me when you decided to focus on water projects and what was the catalyst that started you thinking about starting a water program? Also, I know you are in the early stages of developing your water program, but can you tell us briefly how you are going to roll out your strategy? Looking forward! In sisterhood Gemma

Hi all, We decided to focus on water projects after the women and water conference held in Nairobi in the year 2008. During that conference several issues regarding water and women and water were brought out which we decided to address. Among these issues was that women are the ones who are most affected by the effects of climate change like water shortage. This is because women and moreso indigenous women have to travel over long distances to look for water. In the course of that search for water, they are prone to being raped and even to the conflicts among the pastoralist group of the indigenous peoples. This conflicts arise among these communities because you find that there is only a single source of water and so they have fight over it. In addition most water catchment areas in indigenous community areas are polluted because even animals use the same water and so the women end up fetching the same contaminated water which is unsafe for consumption. Therefore the need to separate the area for water access to people and animals made us think of starting a water program. Further, the need to reduce women's workload so that they don't have to waste a lot of time looking for water but to also focus on other income generating activities was a reason for us starting this program. Our strategy has been identifying water catchment areas in indigenous peoples areas that need to be conserved and protected and consulting communities on their water needs. We have also been working in consultation with women and other organised groups from communities that express the need for conserving their water sources. We also want to train women on harvesting rain water using gutters and planting of trees in each homestead. Thank you Yvonne and Georgina.

Organization Background The African Indigenous Women’s Organization is a continental-wide NGO, whose members are composed of African Indigenous Women representing NGOs and CBOs from all over the continent. We work towards the promotion of women’s rights and indigenous rights throughout Africa. The specific objectives of AIWO are: • The defense and promotion of the rights and interests of African Indigenous Women. • Provide assistance and support to the Indigenous Women of Africa who are victims of violence and genital mutilation. • Supporting the Indigenous Women of Africa in the preservation of their Indigenous knowledge and natural resources. • Making every effort to guarantee the property rights of Indigenous Women in order to enable them to live a decent life in their own territories. • Monitoring the initiation of sustainable economic development in the areas inhabited by the Indigenous Peoples of Africa. • Organizing training sessions for Indigenous Women in the field of Human Rights. African Indigenous Women’s Organization (AIWO) was formed on 24th April, 1998, in Agadir, Morrocco. This was after the first African Indigenous Conference held on 20th to 24th the same year. The conference was initiated by Netherlands Center for Indigenous Peoples and hosted by Tamaynut of Morocco. The Theme of the conference was to “Clarify the role of the Indigenous Women as supporters of the Community and strengthen the Indigenous Cultures’ chances for persistence”. The organization was started by a number of Indigenous Women attending the conference, in response to the lack of recognition of Indigenous Women’s rights in Africa. Those who started AIWO are all members of Indigenous and/or women’s rights-focused NGOs and CBOs throughout Africa. AIWO is a regional organization. We work in all regions of the Africa. AIWO has elected officials to represent Northern, Western, Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. We are connected with NGOs and CBOs throughout the continent, and carries out activities in each region. Our target group is all African Indigenous Women throughout the continent, as well as non-governmental and community-based organizations run by and for the benefit of African Indigenous Women. AIWO’s strength is in its diversity, extensive networks and the knowledge that each of the members bring to the group. As AIWO’s members are also members of women’s rights-focused and Indigenous organizations from all over Africa, each brings valuable experiences, contacts and ideas to the organization. The regionally-focused structure means that AIWO can run programs and activities in each region, as well as planning activities which bring all of the regional segments together.

Iraqi Women Forced into Sexual Slavery: US and UK Culpability

Iraqi Women Forced into Sexual Slavery

Thursday, 28 January 2010 18:40

Interview with Houzan Mahmoud: Iraq’s desperate economic and security situation is leading to the trafficking of hundreds of Iraqi women into prostitution and sexual slavery.  Rising numbers of Iraqi women are being sold into sexual slavery every year because of the waning economy and dire security situation.   Human rights organizations are highlighting the plight of Iraqi women and young girls, sometimes as young as twelve, exploited by criminal gangs for profit.  “The women trafficking trade is at its height,” Houzan Mahmoud, representative abroad of the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq said. “There has never been a situation as extreme, and it’s frightening. Many of them have been trafficked to neighboring countries like Syria or the Gulf states or trafficked internally inside Iraq from one city to another.” The Baghdad Women’s Organization estimates that at least 200 Iraqi women are sold into slavery every year, although the U.S.-based Human Rights Watch estimates that the numbers are in the thousands. The organization warns that the figures may be higher if Iraqi refugee women in neighboring countries such as Syria and Lebanon are also counted. “The situation has become much worse since 2003, after the U.S. led invasion of Iraq,” Nadya Khalife, a women’s rights researcher for the Middle East and North Africa region at Human Rights Watch told The Media Line. “More women have become widows and orphans and have turned to prostitution to simply make ends meet,” she said. “There are simply no other alternatives for women who head households to locate other sources of income. In Syria and Lebanon, for instance, Iraqi families have simply exhausted their financial savings and some of these families have forced their own wives and daughters into prostitution.” Mahmoud said that since 2003 more than 70% of Iraqis have lost their jobs, a situation compounded by a lack of welfare provisions. “We have more than four million widows in Iraq… who will provide for these women?” Mahmoud asked. “The situation created absolute poverty, particularly for women, and these women have virtually no other option but to turn to prostitution.” “There’s nothing called choice in this,” she stressed. “They are either being forced into it because of the economic and political situation or because of a lack of security, whereby women and young girls are being kidnapped.” With relatively few rights, the ability of Iraqi women to reintegrate into society after prostitution is limited. The women are often ostracized, attacked by their community and harassed by the authorities with charges of immorality. “These women lack confidence, lose faith in themselves and blame themselves,” Mahmoud said. “There are so many women who have been jailed for being involved in prostitution. They don’t target the ring leaders for women trafficking – they actually jail the women. If the family finds out, they might kill her, or the neighborhood will shun her and she’ll be stigmatized for her whole life.” Mahmoud argued that the Iraqi government and political elite have a hand in forcing women into prostitution. “We’re talking about party politicians who have numbers of women prostitutes in their mobile phones,” she said. “We have to bring this to light. People in the Iraqi parliament and government are basically promoting women’s prostitution and they won’t be punished. As always, it’s the woman paying the price because she’s a woman and in that society and political climate, women are victimized everywhere.” While human rights organizations were working to expose the practice, Mahmoud said a more holistic approach was required. “The Iraqi government is responsible for the lives and dignity of these women and children, who’ve been trafficked and forced into prostitution,” she said. “The U.S. and U.K. government [are also responsible] for occupying Iraq and creating such a miserable situation for the population, whose only crime is being Iraqi. They should be blamed and held responsible for this situation whereby people can easily kidnap you and sell you for money. It’s absolutely outrageous.” Written by Rachelle Kliger Published Wednesday, December 02, 2009 Source: http://www.themedialine.org/news/news_detail.asp?NewsID=27272

Press Release: World Wide Outcry To Make Amnesty International See Reason and Make Amends

Source: Human Rights for All

24/03/2010 4:44 am

 

March 22, 2010
People from across the world, including key human rights activists, public intellectuals and citizens groups have supported a global petition demanding public clarification and accountability from Amnesty International.

Among the prominent signatories figure: Salman Rushdie, Michael Walzer; Amitav Ghosh; Malalai Joya, (MP Afghan Parliament, suspended for criticizing warlords).; Dr. Nawal El Sadaawi (Writer and former political prisoner) Egypt.; Martha Nussbaum (Professor of Law and Ethnics, University of Chicago; co-founder of the Human Development and Capabilities Association with Amartya Sen) US.; Dr. Yakin Erturk (Former UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and board Member of UNRISD). Turkey,: I. A. Rehman and Iqbal Haidar (the most senior members of Pakistan’s Human Rights Commission); Farida Shaheed (UN Independent Expert on Cultural Rights and Director of Research at Shirkat Gah) Pakistan; Jodie Evans (Environmental activist and founder member of CODEPINK, Women for Peace) US; Nayantara Sahgal (Celebrated writer, and former Indian Ambassador to Italy) India; Romila Thapar (Eminent Historian of Ancient India) India; Madanjeet Singh (UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and founder of South Asia Foundation) Ramachandra Guha (historian, and a regular columnist with The Telegraph of Calcutta.) [See below wider list of notable signatories]

• On Feburary 7, 2010 Amnesty International’s controversial alliance with Moazzem Begg and his organization, Cageprisoners, who have an ambiguous position on the Taliban, was publicly questioned by Gita Sahgal, Head of the Gender Unit at the International Secretariat of Amnesty International, London.

• Sahgal raised a fundamental point of principle, which is “about the importance of the human rights movement maintaining an objective distance from groups and ideas that are committed to systematic discrimination.”

• This principle in no way contradicts or negates the Amnesty International campaign against the fundamental human rights abuses that have occurred at Guantanamo and elsewhere.

• Rather than responding to the seriousness of her concerns with an investigation of the issues and/or having a democratic debate both internally and in the public domain, Amnesty International suspended Gita Sahgal and publicly reiterated its alliance with Begg. This is a compromise of its own core values.

• In response to the petition, as well as in a recent public statement, Amnesty has quoted the concept of defensive jihad as justification for its support of Begg.
