[WCUSP] RAHL: Gender, War and Militarism Conference

[Mary Day Kent]

Dear Carol,
We are aware of the conference, though not involved in any way ahead of time. There are several WILPF members speaking, but not identified as such! What kind of involvement, other than attending, are you thinking of?

  Thanks for sending this, Yvonne.  It seems to me that WILPF in Philadelphia should have some invovlement in this if possible.  This fits very well into the WILPF Peace Women program at the UN, which focuses on gender issues and 1325.  We don't focus on this much in our DISARM committee -- we're too involved in the "hard" issues like  WMD, military budget, mil-corp conneXion, etc. -- but could legitimately include this approach if any U.S. WILPF members are interested. The Human Rights committee is also dealing with some of these issues as it works on CEDAW and SCR 1325.

  October is far enough away to do some planning.  Is anyone in touch with the conference organizers? 

  in peace, Carol Urner
