SUMMARY:WILPF Webinar: Abya Yala in the Crosshairs - Conversations on Anti-Militarism in the Region
DESCRIPTION:Abya Yala has become a central territory in the U.S. war geopolitics. Under narratives like the “war on drugs” and “hemispheric security\,” militarisation and territorial control continue to expand\, reinforced by right-wing governments aligned with U.S. militarist policies. \nThis increasingly aggressive deployment turns security into a tool of social control\, justifying surveillance\, criminalisation of movements\, and repression against those defending their territories. \nIn this webinar\, we will explore how this doctrine operates in Colombia\, Argentina\, Mexico\, and Brazil\, and collectively reflect on strategies to confront the advance of militarism. \nDate & Time: Nov 25 | 18:00 Rio de Janeiro\, 16:00 Bogotá\, 15:00 Mexico City\nLanguage: Spanish with interpretation into Portuguese and English \nRegister here

SUMMARY:WILPF UK De-growth workshop
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 1st November 2-5pm at 5 Caledonian Road in London. Come and join our first ideas session to develop our Degrowth / Just Transition campaign. It would be great to see you. This workshop will be to collate initial ideas on what are the key aspects for us of such a broad subject. What do we wish to focus on? What would be our entry points? It would also be an opportunity to see WILPF UK’s new national base.. \nUsing the output from this workshop\, our plan is to organise a full day workshop at the beginning of next year\, hopefully as a hybrid meeting and with more notice to allow planning of travel from further afield. \nIf you are interested in joining us on 1 November or wish to input ideas\, please let Eliza know at ukwilpf.info@gmail.com. We’ll send more detail closer to the date.

SUMMARY:WILPF UK Webinar: Reclaiming the women\, peace and security agenda’
DESCRIPTION:The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom UK (WILPF UK) invite you\, your colleagues\, members and networks to join our next webinar to hear from guest speaker Dr Sophia Close\, Gender\, peace and security consultant and WILPF UK Company Secretary\, to learn about and discuss how we can use our feminist lens to reclaim the women\, peace and security agenda. \nDr Sophia Close will lead this webinar presentation and discussion based around her recently co-authored report with the European Institute of Peace ‘Status Quo or Bold Adaptation? Reclaiming the Women\, Peace and Security Agenda’. The report calls for a critical rethinking of the core principles behind the women\, peace and security (WPS) agenda to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness in the rapidly shifting global context. As the political space for gender equality narrows and WPS commitments are increasingly eroding\, the agenda’s vision and practices must be adjusted to respond to contemporary and future challenges in conflict prevention\, resolution and peace-building. Far from being a lost cause\, the women\, peace and security agenda must be revitalised to address rising militarisation and securitisation\, reaffirming its purpose as a transformative framework for inclusive and sustainable peace. \nZoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84765215209 \nNo password required \n
