Mosaic Hosts "2014 Citizen Summit on Women & Armed Conflict"

Facebook Like ButtonTweet Button
On Saturday, November 15, the Mosaic Institute hosted its 2014 Citizen Summit on Women & Armed Conflict, a day-long student conference exploring a myraid of issues relating to the particular ways in which armed conflicts impact women and girls, and what they are doing about it. The event featured a stellar line-up of distinguished speakers on such topics as gender-based violence in wartime, diaspora women confronting conflict, and the perspectives of  women in combat roles.  The day also featured a special focus on Canada's missing and murdered aboriginal women in order to emphasize that confronting systemic violence against women and girls - like conflict itself - is a truly global challenge.

A glimpse of what our Bazaar looked like!

We had an amazing time at the bazaar we held in the beginning of December.
We would like to thank the company comme il faut for donating clothes, and all the women who had donated clothing items, and volunteered preparing the bazaar, selling and dismantling!

We would also like to thank everyone who came!

All profits from this event were donated to Isha L'Isha-Haifa Feminist Center and support the center in its various work fields, such as: supporting and assisting trafficking and prostitution survivors, writing position papers, groups to raise awareness concerning feminist issues, lectures and workshops, maintain our archive, library and of course the research center and much more.

What do our maids talk about us? How does a woman become a maid? How does she survive in a house which is not her, supports her family, and raises children?

Rachel Sagi is organizing a series of fascinating meetings with women who would like to have their voices heard. They speak of their stories openly, harshly, painfully, and something, even comically.
How do they see Israeli society, from the North and South and religious and secular, and working in houses of families who are different from each other?

Feminism and Motherhood 

One of the most challenging issues to deal with as feminists is motherhood. If you are also thinking about your experience as a mother, your relations with others and have thoughts which you want to share but don't know with whom, we invite you to join a new group called "Feminist moms", we will meet once a month, on Tuesdays, at Isha L'Isha, Arlozorov 118, Haifa.

From Transitional to Transformative: justice for conflict-related violence against women

Speakers: Christine Bell; Aisling Swaine
Chair: Christine Chinkin

Monday 23 April, 6.30-8pm

Sheikh Zayed Theatre, LSE
#LSESwaine

'Conflict-related violence against women' is often understood to mean sexual violence, specifically rape used as a weapon of war. But this is only one part of a broad continuum of gender violence which must be understood and addressed within and across conflict settings. This event, launching Conflict-Related Violence Against Women: Transforming Transition by Aisling Swaine, will explore the proposition that a transformation rather than a transition is required in the aftermath of conflict, if justice is to play a role in preventing gender violence.

#LSEWPS_CVE


The most recent resolution in the Women, Peace and Security architecture, UN Security Council Resolution 2242, raised the possibility of alignment with the Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) agenda at the UN and beyond. In this event, Laura J. Shepherd will examine the articulation of prevention in the context of UN counter-terrorism efforts and the WPS agenda, in order to understand how the alignment of WPS and CVE agendas became possible, and to explore the likely implications.
