Fluri* Geography Department and Women’s and Gender Studies Program, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, USA This paper examines corporeal modernity as part of the larger ‘savior and liberation’ trope produced for Afghan women by US-led military, political and economic intervention post-9/11. This savior trope has been identiﬁed as a co-optation of women’s rights discourses and activism (Hunt 2002), a misguided approach to security through gendered scripts of masculine aggressive protection and female submission (Young 2003; Dowler 2002), and as yet another example in a long history of gendered tropes devised by colonial and imperial powers to save Muslim women (Abu Lughod 2002).

Memorandum of Understanding on the Conservation and Management of Dugongs and Their Habitats Throughout Their Range 19-20 February 2013, Manila, the Philippines
Memorandum of Understanding on Distr: General the Conservation and Management CMS/Dugong/SS2/Report of Dugongs and their Habitats throughout their Range 08 April 2013 SECOND SIGNATORY STATE MEETING / Manila, Philippines, 19-20 February 2013 The Report of the Second Signatory State Meeting (SS2) of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Conservation and Management of Dugongs and their Habitats throughout their Range 19-20 February 2013, Manila, the Philippines 1. Opening of the Meeting (No document) 1. The meeting was opened by the hostess, Stephany Dianne Stefanowitz, the Miss Philippines-Earth 2012 and Miss Earth Air 2012. She reminded the meeting that the Dugong was at high risk of extinction, and after the First Meeting of the Signatories in Abu Dhabi in 2010, the present gathering was another milestone in international efforts to protect the species. 2. After leading the meeting in a rendition of the Philippines’ national anthem, Ms Stefanowitz introduced Ms Theresa Mundita Lim of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippines (DENR). 3. Ms Lim introduced the other people on the podium, namely Ernesto D. Adobo Junior, the Deputy Minister followed by Nelson P. Devanadera, the Assistant Director and Ms Donna Kwan of the CMS Secretariat. She welcomed all the delegates to Manila and expressed her delight and honour at hosting the meeting. 4. Ms Lim related the story of Joanna, the injured Dugong calf. Unfortunately all the efforts to try to save the animal were in vain, because, as was later discovered, its digestive tract had been infested with parasites. However, lessons were learned from the experience.
