| Amos de Casa en (plena) crisis de nervios |
|
Por Silvia Marchant
A pesar del paso del tiempo y de las conquistas en el plano laboral, las mujeres siguen a cargo de la crianza de sus hijos y de las tareas más pesadas de la casa. A propósito del Día del Ama de Casa del último 1º de diciembre, Artemisa Noticias abrió un debate entre amas y amos de casa sobre roles que todavía parecen difíciles de redefinir. La Cámara de diputados se prepara a discutir el tema.

| Dia Mundial de Lucha contra el Sida: “Cuando estás con alguien es como que te confiás” |
|
Por Valeria Pertovt
La feminización del sida es un fenómeno paralelo a la feminización de la pobreza. Se ve en la clase media, bien formada, sin problemas de acceso a cualquier servicio, pero con dificultades para conseguir información de la epidemia o de negociar sobre preservativos ante algún hombre. En la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, 19,9 por ciento de las personas con la infección tienen educación terciaria. ¿Qué les pasa con el virus? ¿Cuáles son las barreras que les impide la prevención?

| Campaña Vivir sin Violencia |
|
Por A. W.
El martes pasado se presentó en Buenos Aires la Campaña Vivir sin Violencia. Afiches que explicitan la violencia contra las mujeres, tarjetas minúsculas con lugares donde recurrir y una guía pormenorizada sobre servicios de atención de violencia en la capital porteña y el Norte de Buenos Aires fueron el resultado de un proyecto que se inició en el 2003.

| Día Mundial de la Lucha contra el Sida: “Históricamente se nos ha invisibilizado y ocultado” |
|
Por Mirta Rodríguez Calderón, desde Santo Domingo
Mirla y Samirah se conocieron hace cuatro años en Costa Rica durante un encuentro Feminista regional. Una es dominicana, la otra panameña, tienen 28 y 27 años de edad. En esta nota repasan la relación de las lesbianas con la expansión del HIV. Creen que no se las considera porque la práctica sexual aceptada es la heterosexual, considerada como principal o única vía de contagio.

| Día Mundial de la Lucha Contra el SIDA: Las cuentas pendientes de Bachelet |
|
Desde hace 16 años Chile desarrolla distintos métodos en la lucha contra el HIV/SIDA pero todavía tiene temas pendientes como la reglamentación de una ley que preserva el derecho a la confidencialidad. El balance del trabajo de los últimos años, los objetivos por cumplir y el legado para la presidenta Michelle Bachelet serán claves entre las exposiciones previstas para el Día Mundial de Lucha contra el SIDA.

| Oaxaca estás aquí |
|
Por N.L.C.
Oaxaca es uno de los símbolos malditos de México. En medio de la sucesión presidencial, con la crisis de representatividad del nuevo gobierno, aquel Estado controlado por un bastión agónico del PRI continúa convulsionado. La crisis todavía no termina. Las mujeres saben que si son apresadas o desaparecidas, serán violadas porque esa es la forma que han encontrado las policías del Tercer Mundo para humillar a todo un pueblo.

| Fragmentos de salud |

¿Qué tipos de políticas públicas hay que desarrollar y de qué manera se las debe implementar para lograr un sistema de salud que, lejos de excluir a las mayorías, las incluya? Con el objetivo de responder esta pregunta, se realizó en el marco del Tercer Congreso de Políticas Sociales, que contó con el auspicio del Fondo de Población de las Naciones Unidas (UNFPA, la mesa Salud para la Inclusión.

| Las mujeres y los derechos humanos |
|
*
En el marco del Día Internacional por los Derechos Humanos, la abogada Susana Chiarotti, protagonista del proceso de integración entre derechos humanos y derechos de las mujeres, habla de la ríspida relación construida entre los organismos de uno y otro ámbito. Los espacios internacionales están mayoritariamente ocupados por varones que se resisten a incorporar la perspectiva de género para el análisis de los derechos humanos, plantea.

Hace 17 años, 14 mujeres fueron asesinadas por un hombre que odiaba al género y especialmente a las feministas. La matanza de Montreal actualizó varios dilemas, especialmente el de la violencia hacia las mujeres. No mucho tiempo después de esta sangría, dos psicólogas, Esperanza Bosch y Victoria Ferrer (Universitat de les Iles Balars) confirmaban, luego de años de investigación, el origen ideológico del comportamiento violento contra las mujeres.

De la primera novela escrita por una médica se pueden esperar muchas cosas, gratas y no tanto. En el caso de Potencial Incierto (Editorial Galerna), de Susana López, son mayores los pulgares arriba. Una grata sorpresa.

La Matanza de Montreal: 17 años después.

:: CAMPAÑA 16 DIAS DE ACTIVISMO CONTRA LA VIOLENCIA HACIA LAS MUJERES |
|
|
|
La Matanza de Montreal - Diecisiete años después
realizado por la Corresponsalía en Argentina de la Campaña por los 16 días de Activismo contra la Violencia hacia las Mujeres
"Un joven de 25 años, Marc Lépine, tomó una escopeta, fue a la Universidad y mató a 14 mujeres estudiantes (de entre 20 y 31 años), hirió a 9 más y a 4 hombres. Luego de consumada la masacre se suicidó. Entre sus manos encontraron una carta en la que explicaba por qué lo había hecho. Marc Lépine odiaba a las mujeres, y a las feministas en especial. En su misiva había una lista de 19 mujeres destacadas de su comunidad, casi todas dedicadas a ocupaciones no tradicionales, incluidas la primera mujer bombero y la capitana de la policía de Montreal. Pensaba matarlas a todas. Adujo que no pudo hacerlo por falta de tiempo. “La falta de tiempo, puesto que he empezado muy tarde -explicó-, ha permitido a estas feministas radicales sobrevivir”. Fue así que se ocupó de eliminar a quienes tenía a mano y estaban más indefensas: a las mujeres que le refrescaban su reciente fracaso como ingresante en la Politécnica de Montreal, todas alumnas de la carrera de ingeniería.
Esta es parte de la historia que quedó escrita tras los acontecimientos ocurridos el 6 de Diciembre de 1989 en la Universidad Politécnica de Montreal.
Hannah Arendt propone en su libro Los orígenes del totalitarismo un camino de lectura. Para “comprender”, dice, hay que responder a tres preguntas: ¿Qué ha sucedido? ¿Por qué sucedió? y ¿Cómo ha podido suceder?
Tomando como base este libro, la Corresponsalía argentina produjo el material que va adjunto en este mail, y que pueden reproducir parcial o totalmente, citando la fuente.

Anuncia los Terceros Diálogos Feministas Internacionales
Anunciando los Terceros Diálogos Feministas Internacionales
“Transformando la Democracia: Visiones y Estrategias Feministas”
17-19 de enero de 2007
Regístrate ahora
Nos complace anunciar que los terceros Diálogos Feministas, “Transformando la Democracia: Visiones y Estrategias Feministas” se realizarán del 17 al 19 de enero de 2007, en Nairobi, Kenya, días antes del próximo Foro Social Mundial. En esta reunión de dos días y medio se encontrarán alrededor de doscientas cincuenta mujeres de diferentes partes del mundo para profundizar los intensos diálogos sobre las perspectivas y estrategias feministas para combatir los fundamentalismos, el militarismo y la globalización neoliberal. Con la organización de estos terceros Diálogos Feministas, el Grupo Coordinador aspira a crear un espacio vital donde activistas feministas con mente crítica re-examinen, re-imaginen y avancen en el proyecto político vital de construcción del movimiento feminista y las nuevas formas de los procesos democráticos. Antes de asistir a la reunión, se solicitará a las participantes que participen en una etapa preparatoria de elaboración de sus pensamientos y reflecciones, a través de pequeñas consultas a nivel organizacional, de redes y comunitario. De este modo, las participantes estarán listas para compartir sus reflecciones sobre cómo fortalecer las políticas feministas y reconstruir los movimientos feministas regionales y globales, así como varias estrategias empleadas por las feministas en sus luchas regionales y globales por justicia social y económica. A todas quienes estén interesadas en participar se les solicitará bajar el formulario de inscripciones disponible en el sitio http://feministdialogue.isiswomen.org En la medida de lo posible, se aceptará la participación de todas las mujeres registradas que completen el formulario e indiquen su interés específico en asistir a los Diálogos Feministas. Sin embargo, como la reunión tiene un cupo máximo de 250 participantes, el Grupo Coordinador realizará una selección final basada en el interés, la región y sector dentro del movimiento de mujeres, la edad y otros factores. El Grupo Coordinador está realizando sus mejores esfuerzos para facilitar traducción simultánea a español y francés para las principales plenarias así como interpretación en diferido para el trabajo en grupo de los talleres. También se están ultimando detalles para proporcionar traducción personalizada en otros idiomas, según las necesidades de las participantes. La reunión tendrá lugar en el Meridian Hotel, ubicado en el centro de la ciudad de Nairobi, que cuenta con las instalaciones necesarias para una actividad de estas dimensiones. El Grupo Coordinador ha logrado reunir los fondos necesarios para organizar la reunión, cubriendo los costos de locación, traducción y personas de apoyo únicamente, lo cual significa que no nos es posible esta vez ofrecer becas a las participantes, como sucedió en los pasados Diálogos feministas. Por tanto solicitamos a quienes quieran participar que busquen sus propias fuentes de financiamiento. Se solicitará a las asistentes un pago a modo de inscripción para cubrir los gastos de materiales para trabajar, así como el almuerzo y el té que se servirán durante la reunión.
Por más información, puedes contactar a las siguientes compañeras del Grupo Coordinador:
Quienes sean de Asia y el Pacífico, y por consultas generales comunicarse con:

ONU: DIA INTERNACIONAL DEL VOLUNTARIADO
El Secretario General
Mensaje con motivo del Día Internacional de los Voluntarios
5 de diciembre de 2006
Cada día, millones de voluntarios dejan bien claro que pese a todo —pese a la pobreza y al odio, pese a la apatía y la dificultad aparentemente insuperable de algunos de los problemas que afrontamos— sí es posible mejorar el mundo.
Su disposición hace del voluntarismo uno de los atributos más visibles y mejor recibidos de la ciudadanía mundial. En tareas grandes y pequeñas, los voluntarios están transformando sus comunidades y nuestro mundo. Y en esta era en que vivimos, caracterizada por problemas crecientes, desde el VIH/SIDA hasta la trata de personas y el contrabando, para los cuales no existen fronteras, los voluntarios están respondiendo a las necesidades más apremiantes de la humanidad con soluciones de carácter comunitario.
No existe hoy necesidad más urgente que la de lograr los objetivos de desarrollo del Milenio en los plazos previstos. Nuestro mundo tiene los recursos y la visión para hacer que la pobreza sea historia, para acabar con el hambre y para que el desarrollo sea una realidad para todos. No obstante, los progresos han sido desiguales, tanto dentro de cada país como entre los países. Con sus esfuerzos, los voluntarios pueden contribuir a salvar la distancia que existe entre las declaraciones y la acción y complementar las actividades de carácter más general que se realizan a nivel nacional e internacional para alcanzar dichos objetivos.
El voluntarismo, desde luego, no necesita recompensa. Pero el Día Internacional de los Voluntarios es una oportunidad para recordar a quienes procuran, de manera desinteresada, mejorar nuestro mundo, que su aportación no queda sin reconocimiento. Siendo ésta la última vez que celebro el Día Internacional de los Voluntarios en mi calidad de Secretario General, deseo expresar mi sincera gratitud a todos los hombres y las mujeres que ponen sus competencias y aptitudes al servicio de la humanidad, y espero que muchos más sigan su ejemplo.

1. NEW HIGHLIGHT: "Self-employment Programs: a Policy Response to Youth
Unemployment,Underemployment and Informal Employment in Latin American
Countries"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contributed by Miguel Jaramillo, dgPoverty Advisor
Latin American countries face important labor market problems, the
labor situation being particularly critical for youth, whose unemployment
rates are more than double those of adults. Self-employment programs
constitute a relatively recent and appealing policy option. Their
principal aim is to develop the abilities of entrepreneurial youth to run their
own businesses. In the Latin American context, where wage-earning labor
demand is insufficient to absorb the increasing labor supply; the
principal advantage of this type of program over other policy options is
that they are less likely to produce crowding-out effects, that is, to
transfer unemployment from policy beneficiaries to non-beneficiaries.
Impact evaluations of two Peruvian self-employment programs targeted at
disadvantaged youth find positive effects of these programs on the
probability of business creation and on beneficiaries' earnings. However,
empirical evidence of the impacts of self-employment programs is still
incipient and much has to be done in this area. Nevertheless,
self-employment programs appear as an attractive policy response to youth
unemployment, especially taking into account the Latin American context; and
therefore they must be regarded as an important component of the global
employment creation strategy in these countries.

NEW dgSPECIAL REPORT LAUNCHED: 'Empowering the Next Generation: Youth
in the Developing World'
The new dgSpecial Report 'Empowering the Next Generation: Youth in the
Developing World' has launched. With 1.3 billion young people between
the ages of 12 and 24 in the developing world, the Report builds on the
claim that a window of opportunity is now open for developing countries
to adopt policies for long-term benefit. The Report includes interviews
with policy-makers and youth leaders, as well as results of the DG
survey, where key issues for youth are discussed. Because ICT will play an
important role in the lives of this generation, the Report also
highlights the winner and finalists of the 2006 Development Gateway Award,
focused this year on ICT projects that empower youth.

national level and make the link to the European level. Their objective
is to provide an independent critical voice, for women’s NGOs working
in
the area of violence against women, on the performance of government
commitments as well as pointing to gaps in policy and service provision

part in the international campaign “16 days of activism against
gender
violence†with its “Silent Witness Exhibition†caravan focusing
on
domestic violence and how crimes against women and the so-called
“honor
crimes†find their justification, not only in at the community level
but
also in legislation. The aim of the project is to raise awareness and
advocate for the adoption of a law on domestic violence in Lebanon. As
part of its awareness raising campaign, KAFA launched a CD that
compiles
all Lebanese Personal Status Codes and Civil Codes on the issue of
domestic violence against women and children. For more information,

**UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women** The UN Trust Fund to
End
Violence against Women, established 10 years ago by the UN General
Assembly, could disburse $3.5 million this year - almost twice the
amount available in 2005 and close to four times more than in 2004.
This
Fund managed by UNIFEM has proven to be an effective mechanism to
tackle
the pandemic of violence as it affects women in each and every country
around the world. Eighty-nine states have adopted legislative
provisions
that address domestic violence, including 60 states with specific
domestic violence laws.

**Council for Women’s and Men’s Social Equality** On 26 September
2006,
a Council for Women’s and Men’s Social Equality (Nők és Férfiak
Társadalmi Egyenlősége Tanács) was established under the auspices
of the
Ministry of Social and Work Affairs. The re-creation of this new
institution and the continuation of its work have an important function
as securing equality between women and men is one of the main political
agendas of the EU. The policy about gender equality compels member
states to take concrete steps towards creating gender equality on the
various walks of life including education, healthcare, employment, and
social security. Press release of the Ministry, 26 September 2006.
