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:International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

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.

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

SUMMARY:WILPF UK Webinar: More than a Metaphor: Climate Catastrophe\, Colonial Political Economy\, and Reparative Democracy
DESCRIPTION:The unfolding climate catastrophe provides one of the starkest contexts for understanding the continuing legacies of colonialism within contemporary societies. It took over thirty years\, from the first report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)\, for the word ‘colonialism’ to enter its official lexicon. Even where colonialism is mentioned\, it is often used as metaphor to describe a variety of acts of domination and control in relation to climate change. The direct and continuing significance of colonialism to climate change is less often articulated. In this talk\, I take a historical sociological perspective to the broader topic via an account of the colonial political economy of the British empire in India and its relationship to famine. Famine is of fundamental importance precisely because it is what climate change threatens for a significant proportion of the world’s population. While Amartya Sen has famously argued that democracy is the necessary condition for ending famines\, this does not account for the fact that Britain claimed to be a democracy across the period of colonial rule when it was producing famines in India. I focus on the relationship between colonialism and democracy in the context of climate change to ask what is politically necessary to address this situation. \nGurminder K Bhambra is Professor of Historical Sociology at the University of Sussex. She is a Fellow of the British Academy and the Royal Historical Society and has written extensively on the relationship\, and significance\, of colonialism to the structure of the social sciences. Her latest research project is on ‘Varieties of Empire’ and she is also lead editor of a forthcoming textbook\,The Modern World after Colonialism. \nZoom details: \nLink: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86848164064?pwd=309iF9VxOLdxraz7FR23VNoECHfQuU.1\nMeeting ID: 868 4816 4064\nPasscode: 041163

SUMMARY:Women in Black vigil: Trafalgar Square
DESCRIPTION:WILPF members regularly attend Women in Black vigils. \nThe London vigil is part of the Women in Black (WiB) world-wide network of women. We are committed to peace with justice and actively opposed to injustice\, war\, militarism and other forms of violence. We hold our vigil every week (see details above) in silence and wearing black. Each vigil has a specific theme\, which is reflected in the placards we carry and the leaflets we hand out. Each week we have a letter which we ask members of the public to sign\, which calls on the British government to take action on a specific issue. Currently our vigils focus on: opposition to British military engagements or threat of ‘interventions’ in other countries; opposing renewal of the Trident nuclear weapons system; calling for justice for Palestinians; and for steps to end violence in the DR Congo; and for ending the arms trade. Our vigils are for women only\, and present a women’s or gendered position on each issue. \nTime and place: Wednesday from 6pm to 7pm at the Edith Cavell statue. It is in St.Martin’s Place\, London WC2\, opposite the entrance to the National Portrait Gallery\, and not far from Trafalgar Square. \nEmail/Join mailing list:WiBinfo@gn.apc.org \nTwitter: @WiB_London \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/womeninblack.london/ \nVigil homepage: http://london.womeninblack.org/
