AF3IRM, the Association of Filipinas, Feminists Fighting Imperialism, Re-feudalization, and Marginalization, (formerly known as GABRIELA Network/GABNet) is taking part in the 16 Days of activism against gender violence which happens each year from November 25 - December 10. Our goal is to arouse, organize, mobilize, and incite women to take action against gender violence.
We will be blogging, protesting, writing, and educating in our communities wherever we have chapters. Please join us! Comment! Take part in the action! We have 16 days to illuminate the injustices of gender violence. Here we go!
Please email campaigns@gabnet.org with any questions or more info.
The global issue of violence against women results from serious gender and health inequality. There is discrimintation in access to services, in research, and in the health hazards women are exposed to.
For Day 15 GABRIELA Network would like to remind the Filipina community that we have the highest death rate of Breast Cancer among Asian American Women. Empower yourself and learn how to do a self examaniation. Share this information with your Lolas, sisters, mothers and friends.
