Lots of Feminist Campaigns

The Hay Feminists have moved their meetings to the Swan, while the Globe is closed during January. They'll be there on Sunday, at around 11am, and they have lots to talk about.
On the local front, they have asked someone from the Cardiff Women's Rights group to come and speak to them on 10th February.
Internationally (because why shouldn't a small group think big?) they will be talking about Billion Women Rise - there's a day of action on 14th February. This movement was sparked off by the rape and murder of the young woman on a bus in India.
Then on 8th March, it's International Women's Day. There's usually a special church service at one of the churches or chapels in Hay around that date. The services are written by a different group of women in a different part of the world every year, and distributed so that everyone who wants to can join in.

There was a plan to get in touch with women in Timbuktu, but the situation in Mali at the moment makes that impossible for the time being. As the French move in, it's depressing to read articles such as the one on Counterfire's website, about the underlying reasons for French involvement is not the humanitarian situation in the region, but the uranium, and the gold.
