"Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found the exact
amount of injustice and wrongdoing which will be imposed on them; and
these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows,
or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of
those whom they oppress."
- Frederick Douglass
"There is no reason to think a small group of thoughtful, committed
citizens cannot change the world; indeed, that's the only thing that
ever has."

It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see
the problem.

International Women’s Day Celebration – 2009:
Women as Agents of Change
On March 7th, 6.30pm in the Nelson Library Basement, the West Kootenay Women’s Association and Amnesty International Nelson are showing three films celebrating the achievements of women as agents of change and the need to continue to take action for women’s human rights. This is on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the 1979 UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Often described as an international bill of human rights for women, the convention defines what constitutes discrimination against women and sets an agenda for national action to end this discrimination.
STRONG COFFEE tells the story of Café Feminino—a revolutionary idea that is helping people in need all over the world. Café Feminino beans are the first coffee beans grown entirely by women farmers. Café Feminino coffee will be available for sale.
Marnie Beninger, the local director of the Pura Vida Foundation will present an update of the foundations work to improve the lives of children and youth in Latin America and specifically to provide marginalized and exploited young girls with basic necessities providing an enhanced quality of life.
In 2004, Amnesty International launched its global Stop Violence Against Women Campaign to break the silence around the fact that Women and girls suffer disproportionately from violence - both in peace and in war, at the hands of the state, the community and the family. At least one out of every three women has been beaten, forced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Amnesty International charges that Canada is putting Indigenous women in danger of kidnapping and violent deaths through racism and indifference. The film Stolen Sisters takes viewers on a journey across Canada to hear stories of the estimated 500 indigenous women who have gone missing in the past 20 years.
Women’s rights are human rights
