Implement UN Resolution 1325

International Women’s Day Events

Galway, Thursday 8th March

organized by Women in Media & Entertainment & Radio Pirate Woman

1 pm – 6pm: top of Shop Street, outside Brown Thomas. Information stall, petition and open speakout to get UN to implement Resolution 1325. This resolution states that women must be accorded their rightful share in all conflict-solving negotiations and post-war compensation/restitution issues.

7 pm – 9 pm: Radio Pirate-Woman Party for women’s phone-in to UN Ambassadors, to call for implementation of Resolution 1325 by the UN Security Council, and a linkup with other women’s radio stations across the globe.

PETITION to

John Bruton, Irish Ambassador to the UN, & to Dermot Ahern TD, Minister for Foreign Affairs

"We ask that UN Resolution 1325 be implemented as a matter of urgency. It states that women must be accorded their rightful share in all combat-solving negotiations and post-war compensation – bearing in mind that women and children make up the greatest number of victims of war, and grassroots women carry the greatest burden of rebuilding war-torn society. The NGO women’s groups should deal directly with the Security Council to discuss how the resolution can be implemented.

Let the Women of the World confront the Nations of the World."

Petition sent in by Women in Media & Entertainment

(with consultative status at the UN, ESOC), 10 St Bridget’s Place Lower, Galway, Ireland.

How many left wing groups and organisations have a women's information
officer?
a gender selection requirment?
a gender equity balance in decision-making groups?

Celebrate women's day by recognising that many workers in many
organisations are women but it does not translate into power in accessing
council/td seats.

Solidarity margaretta!

It is time we realised the value of women's contributions to our society
and appointed women officers to all levels of policy on the left in this state.

Personally, I'd prefer that political parties promote women and push towards a 50-50 of both sexes represented in elections.

Gender is a different issue, and frankly, not always relevant to elections.

one would enquire why our democratic systems do not include women.
being enfranchised means that as a democratic society the 'rules', laws
and decisions are made in Ireland by one half of the demographic
for the whole of society.

Women's contribution is of little value to the political theorists.
Yet we are the biggest consumers.
The main carers.
The people manipulated by media in the pre-election vote grab.

and a lot of us who did not vote for many years may just protest vote this time
round, it would be useful if the campaigns across the country selected
women for the franchise.

so we could put our 'X' beside the relevant box- however, otherwise
the estabished parties will get it. and that would be a fuck up.

Back to the childer and making the tae.

Israel has refused travel permission once again to a woman who would've spoken here as part of the International Women's Day. Yet Bertie makes grand speeches today in favour of Women's Day and all the rest of it; but will take no hand, act or part in protesting to Israel about its activities against Palestinians.
