a global free speech network of feminist writers
The site present the mission of the organisation, which is the global defense and encouragement of women’s right to free expression. In addition to news and events, and Information on the organization’s history, affiliates, board, regional programs, and human rights work, the Women’s WORLD website has the following special features:
*African Women’s Voices: a selection of creative and analytical work that is hard to find anywhere else, including selections from recent literary anthologies by Black women writers in South Africa and Uganda, and political essays by Amina Mama, Gertrude Fester, and Patricia McFadden
*Voices for Peace in Israel-Palestine: communications from the peace movement, largely personal reports, beginning in October 2000 and updated weekly, including selections from the letter diaries of Palestinian poet Anisa Darwish and Israeli activist Gila Svirsky
*The Crisis: writing on the global political and economic crisis from all over the world, beginning after September 11, 2001, and including a moderated forum where you can send in your own observations and experiences
*For Women Writers: including some practical advice and links on contracts and travel; a questionnaire that will allow you to become part of our global database; and a moderated forum(soon) where you will be able to tell the world about your own experiences with gender and censorship issues.
We are particularly interested in gathering information on the increasing climate of nationalism, fear, and self-censorship following September 11; how it has affected you wherever you live; and how we can mobilize and continue to speak our minds. Please send us examples from your experience and that of people you know. What kind of thing has it become more difficult-or even impossible-to speak or write about? (Be sure to indicate if you want this information kept private or anonymous, or if you are willing to have it posted.)
