Freigabe Freitag, 22. September 2017, 18:00 Uhr Es Gilt Das Gesprochene Wort
Freigabe Freitag, 22. September 2017, 18:00 Uhr Es gilt das gesprochene Wort Verleihung „Rebellinnen gegen den Krieg – Anita Augspurg - Preis der Internationalen Frauenliga für Frieden und Freiheit“ Rathaus in Verden Laudation Barbara Lochbihler Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, dear Zaina Erhaim, Today we are celebrating for the first time the Anita Augspurg Award "Women rebels against war". Today, exactly 160 years ago, the women's rights activist Anita Augspurg was born here in Verden. With this award we want to honour and encourage women who are committed to combating militarism and war. On behalf of the International Women's League for Peace and Freedom, I want to thank all those who made this award ceremony possible. My special thanks go to: Mayor Lutz Brockmann, Annika Meinecke, the city representative for equal opportunities members of the City Council of Verden, all employees of the Town Hall, all supporters, especially the donors. I am particularly pleased that the Syrian journalist and filmmaker, Zaina Erhaim is here with us today to receive this award in person. "Ahlan wa Sahlan fi Verden" (Welcome to Verden!). Wa-yas' eduni an arahab Zaina huna al- yaum (And I am very happy to welcome Zaina here today) Before I talk about Zaina Erhaim, please allow me to start by recalling Anita Augspurg’s life and specific commitments: She was an independent woman who could not be forced into the corset of 19th century’s social conventions. This was already evident in her choice of career: She first became an actress and later opened a famous photo studio in Munich. -

250Th-Issue-Index-Ma
Can I keep your secret? STEPHEN GREY Too dangerous to report from war zones? LINDSEY HILSUM Why reporters are too lazy JEAN-PAUL MARTHOZ Out of Africa: a previously untranslated play HENNING MANKELL THE VOICE OF FREE EXPRESSION | 45.02 | SUMMER 2016 | £7.99 Dear all, We are delighted to share this special collection of articles drawn from our milestone 250th issue of Index on Censorship magazine. The 250th issue was dedicated to exploring the increasing threats to reporters worldwide. This collection -- curated from our special report – Truth in Danger, Danger in Truth: Journalists Under Fire and Under Pressure – is packed with must-read features. • Lindsey Hilsum asks if journalists should still cover war zones. • Laura Silvia Battaglia looks how Iraqi reporters train to safely cover their country’s ongoing conflict. • Hazza Al-Adnan explains the extreme dangers faced by Syria’s journalists. • Martin Rowson’s editorial cartoon includes a fat-cat politician that quashes inconvenient questions. • Plus, Sir Louis Blom-Cooper QC, an early Index supporter, reflects on the magazine’s 1972 launch. The entire 250th issue of the magazine is available on Exact Editions for your mobile or tablet device or can be read on Kindle. Visit www.indexoncensorship.org/subscribe for more details. In the full issue you’ll find: the late Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell exploring colonialism in Africa in an exclusive play extract; Irene Caselli writing about the controversies and censorship of Latin America's soap operas; and Norwegian musician Moddi telling how hate mail sparked an album of music that had been previously banned or silenced. -

MENA Women News Brief June 7, 2016-June 21, 2016 Egypt June 10: Egypt: What Three Egyptian Women Have to Say About Sisi Two Years Into His Presidential Term “Before his inauguration as president in June 2014, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi repeatedly vowed that Egypt will be ‘as big as the world,’ heralding an improvement in Egyptians' living conditions. Aswat Masriya asked three Egyptian women of different socioeconomic strata about their views on how the country's economy has evolved two years into Sisi's four-year presidential term.” (All Africa) June 20: Egypt’s Women Bikers Break Gender Barriers “As Egyptian women continue to challenge gender stereotypes and break barriers by engaging in activities typically associated with men, a group of Egyptian women have garnered attention for riding motorbikes. In a video by Reuters, a group of women share their experience with riding motorbikes in Egypt, despite the activity stereotypically being viewed as one for men, rather than women, would engage in and enjoy.” (Egyptian Streets) June 20: Egyptian Women Stand Up to Inequality and Harassment in New Campaign “It’s time to stand up against inequality and chase your dreams. That is the message of a new campaign by the National Council for Women in coordination with Egypt branches of the UN Population Fund, UNDP, UN Women, and the Swedish Embassy in Cairo. In a series of videos, Egyptian women are urged to not let their gender stand in the way of their dreams.” (Egyptian Streets) Iran June 14: Iran cleric says women dressing immodestly is causing the country’s rivers to dry up “A senior cleric in Iran said that women dressing in a Western style is causing the country’s rivers to run dry. -
