Navigating Critical Waters

Dear All --
We regret to inform everyone that due to circumstances beyond our control, the Maude Barlow Water and Climate Justice Speaker Tour (March 16-19) is canceled. Some of the events will push through (without Ms. Barlow). We will email you the details, or you may log on to www.focusweb.org/philippines for quick updates.
Focus - Philippines still hopes to have the Maude Barlow tour this year, probably in the fall. Meanwhile, we will start plans for the midyear DDARP (hopefully with David Harvey) soon. We will keep you posted.

Best,
Focus on the Global South - Philippines

Women: On With the March, Toward the Elections and Beyond!

(Militarism, Sexism, WTO, Arroyo RETREAT)

Today, March 8, the International Day of Women, we march, together with our sisters across the globe, to celebrate the lessons, the triumphs as well as the challenges of our many-faceted struggles.

We are workers marching for full employment with dignity and equal opportunity, amidst a backdrop of a hollowed-out domestic economy, of unwieldy migrationand contractualization, precarious and informal work, and chronic unemployment.

We are rural women, marching for food sovereignty, sustainable livelihoods and meaningful asset reform, in a country characterized by increasing hunger, where profit continues to define the production and distribution of food; and wealth, inputs and productive assets remain concentrated in the hands of a few families and corporations.
