Unwatchable

Wiem, ze czasem wrzucam za duzo "propagandy" ale trudno.

bit.ly/qn0KSk na tej stronie mozecie podpisac petycje do wladz europejskich (sorry, nie wiem, czy chodzi o parlament czy Rade Europy) o podjecie dzialan, ktore ogranicza handel mineralami wydobywanymi w Afryce.
Mineraly te sa wykorzystywane m.in do produkcji telefonow komorkowych.
Tu jest wiecej informacji bit.ly/p2hIsx

Na stronie jest tez bardzo poruszajacy film na temat wykorzystywania gwaltu jako broni w konflikcie. Film nie jest dla kazdego - na pewno nie ma sensu probowac go ogladac, kidy w poblizu sa dzieci. Ale film dokladnie ilustruje przekonanie, ze gdyby takie rzeczy dzialy sie na naszej ulicy, w naszym kraju i gdybysmy wiedzieli, ze naszymi wyborami dajemy tym rzeczom przyzwolenie, to bysmy tego nie ignorowali

bit.ly/oXeb5u tu z kolei jest apel kobiety, ktora zainspirowala tworcow filmu.

ja polecam:

www.amazon.co.uk/Half-Sky-Nicholas-D-Kristof/dp/1844086828/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318499413&sr=8-1
Nie mam jak teraz pisac, ale ksiazka ta jest bardzo wazna, z jednej strony porusza do lez (i wzbudza cala game uczuc), a z drugiej zacheca do konkretow. bardzo polecam.

tutaj jedna z recenzji z amazon:

This book opened my eyes up to the issues surrounding female rights around the world, from honor killings, rapes to female genital mutilation. While I was researching on Female Genital Mutilation to deliver a presentation, my friend introduced me to this book which I promptly read from cover to cover. Whilst reading each story, I was filled with anger at the circumstances these women were in, but yet, often at the end of each story, there would be a silver lining, portraying how a woman's strength and courage can lift them up and away from undesirable circumstances. The selflessness and bravado of these women led me to examine my own life and what I can do to help out in the future, in whatever small way I can.

I was always interested in female issues but never found something which would stop me in the tracks of my everyday life and make me think this hard as to what I can do to contribute. This book did just that. If you are interested in female rights, maternal mortality, or simply, what actually goes on in countries less advanced in terms of female rights progression than ours, this book is well worth a read.

This is not just a read - albeit an essential read as other reviewers have said. This book is a call to action. Forget the Book Club format of just sitting around discussing and socialising, this book requires action. Direct accounts of life experiences, often shocking but always inspiring, means that our lives and the lives of those in this book directly connect and these are presented in such a way that we cannot ignore the connection, nor can we remain passive.

It is a call to action where individuals can respond at the local level or the global - you choose. But for those of us privileged to have choices in our lives - we must choose what from of action to take in response to this inspiring book.

The implications are too great, the potential change too profound.

Indeed, not just an amazing read...
