Reports back from the different workshops.

From the report back to WiB London by Sue and Liz :

'Each international conference is held in a different country, and brings a different perspective. This year, more women from India were able to attend than ever before, and brought a unique fusion of resistance to the violence experienced by women through rape, caste discrimination, dowry murder – and through economic globalisation and the new far right backlash in India.

The workshop on feminist alternatives to military action was just one among many in Bangalore. Other workshops explored genocide in Armenia; injustice, inequality and violence against women in Afghanistan; Flashpoints of war – in Palestine, North East India, Kashmir and Sri Lanka; hate politics; culture of violence and violence of culture; virtual gender violence - cyber crimes against women; climate change and war; nuclear weapons and nuclear energy; mediation beyond borders; feminist anti-militarism and everyday life; lesbians in the peace and justice movement; and dance for peace.'
