Chicana Feminist website - "Chicana feminism means almost as many different things as there are different Chicanas. For the purposes of this space, I define Chicana feminism as a critical framework which looks at inequalities along lines of race, class, gender, and sexuality as they effect women of Mexican descent in the United States. That means talking about sexism, racism, homophobia, and poverty as interlinked issues. Chicanas have launched important critiques of the Chicano movement, the women’s movement, and the gay/lesbian movement, challenging each to think about the way racism, sexism, and homophobia are all embedded and interconnected, not only in contemporary society, but in our own movements as well."

www.rawa.org
RAWA, the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan - "was established in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1977 as an independent political/social organization of Afghan women fighting for human rights and for social justice in Afghanistan. The founders were a number of Afghan woman intellectuals under the sagacious leadership of Meena who in 1987 was assassinated in Quetta, Pakistan, by Afghan agents of the then KGB in connivance with fundamentalist band of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. RAWA’s objective was to involve an increasing number of Afghan women in social and political activities aimed at acquiring women’s human rights and contributing to the struggle for the establishment of a government based on democratic and secular values in Afghanistan. Despite the suffocating political atmosphere, RAWA very soon became involved in widespread activities in different socio-political arenas including education, health and income generation as well as political agitation."

We all recognize the growing need for a strong and active women’s organization to challenge political religious movements."

Women in Black - "On October 9, 1991, we began a permanent, public, non-violent protest against war, against the nationalistic and militant regime in Serbia, ethnic cleansing and all forms of discrimination. We hold vigils dressed in black. We wear black as a sign of mourning for all war victims and all forms of violence. It is a warning that the threat of war is not yet over and that it will persist as long as a militaristic frame of mind dominates. We have organized 400 protests so far."
