De ervaringen van inheemse leiders op de Filipijnen
Het International Institute of Social Studies (ISS), Both ENDS, IUCN Nederland en Mama Cash nodigen je uit voor presentaties door Joan Carling, inheems leider en vrouwenrechtenactiviste uit de Filipijnen en lid van de permanente commissie inheemse volken van de VN, en Jan van de Venis, mensenrechtenadvocaat bij JustLaw, over de ervaringen van inheemse leiders op de Filipijnen in een context van toenemende onderdrukking en mensenrechtenschendingen tegen milieu-activisten.
Indigenous peoples worldwide are involved in the protection of their living environment that often includes the intrusion of international mining companies. This has led to widespread human rights offences and violence against environmental activists.
There is now concern about indigenous leaders in the Philippines that have been earmarked as terrorist suspects by a government that is known for its pro-active campaign on drugs dealing where many suspected dealers have been killed.
Joan Carling is one of the activists whose name is on the list. She is a former expert member of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues of the UN (UNPFII). Despite the many statements of concern from the UN, EU, many countries, and INGOs, the branding of environmental activists as terrorists has not yet been revoked.
After the presentation by Joan Carling and Jan van de Venis there will be an opportunity to share, exchange information and concerns, and discuss what we can do in the Netherlands and the EU, with drinks in the ISS bar until 18.00 or longer if you want.
We hope to see you on the 8th!

Kleine lokale organisaties in Mongolië brengen hoop in moeilijke tijden
Door Sander Hehanussa
"Hoeveel lagen kleding heb je aan? Een? Nee, dat is niet genoeg. Trek maar een skibroek over je spijkerbroek aan, en ruil je schoenen gelijk even in voor snowboots." Daar sta je dan, op dag 1 van je reis naar Mongolië. Ik hoorde al dat het er eind november erg koud is, en met -22 graden die ochtend was daar geen woord van gelogen.

Internationale vrouwendag is nog steeds keihard nodig
Vandaag is het internationale vrouwendag. Een dag die zo’n 100 jaar geleden voortkwam uit stakingen van vrouwen tegen slechte arbeidsomstandigheden in de textielindustrie. Sindsdien is er veel verbeterd voor vrouwen, maar moeten we helaas ook constateren dat mannen en vrouwen nog steeds niet gelijk zijn. In 1949 waarschuwde Simone de Beauvoir al dat je vrouwenrechten nooit als vanzelfsprekend kunt beschouwen, en recente ontwikkelingen zoals de aanscherping van abortuswetten in sommige landen, bevestigen dat. Ze laten zien dat ook in het ‘Vrije Westen’ vrouwenrechten nog helemaal niet zo vanzelfsprekend zijn.
