  7 April 2019, by siawi3

  On March 14, 2019, at the end of a flawed and unfair process, Vancouver City Council voted to terminate the yearly grant given to us, Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s Shelter, in support of our public education work.

  27 May 2019, by siawi3

  In March, the Freedom From Religion Foundation lost a major legal battle in its effort to stop the government from giving religious leaders a huge unconstitutional tax break.

• Egypt: Asset Freeze of Mozn Hassan and Nazra for Feminist Studies
  13 January 2017, by siawi3

  In spite of the fact that the asset freeze of “Nazra” NGO will limit our work in an obvious manner, the team vows to continue what we started with all its energy and work tools guaranteed by the constitution and law. The future we dream of for women in Egypt is far from realized, we will continue to work for it, for a better life for Egyptian women, and for the sustainability of a strong and independent Egyptian feminist movement.

• The dangers of NGO-isation of women’s rights in Africa
  2 February 2019, by siawi3

  The de-politicisation of the women’s movement is extremely dangerous for the future of African women. For the past 40 years, we have been living in times of what I regard as “the NGO-isation of civil space”, where the language and rhetoric of gender equality is mostly generated by international NGOs. The challenge of NGO-isation is that it is predominantly subject to the imagination, assumptions, and interest of Northern funding institutions and their surrogates. Women activists and feminists around the world should always remember that our engagement in women’s rights is based on what we have suffered and continue to suffer. As African feminists and activists for women’s rights and equality, let us never forget that the burden is ours to carry, and to own.

• Bangladesh: New law on foreign funding will prevent organizing
  26 October 2016, by siawi3

  Local and foreign NGOs yesterday urged President Abdul Hamid not to consent to a recently passed bill on foreign-funded NGOs, saying one of its provisions violates people’s constitutional rights to freedom of speech, thought and organisation. The provision says if any foreign-funded NGO engages in anti-state activities and finances or patronises extremism and terror activities, those would be considered as offences, and the NGO and its officials concerned would be tried under the country’s existing laws. The bill doesn’t differentiate between an offence by an individual and that by an NGO. For example, 600 individuals can work in an NGO, but the involvement of an individual in a crime doesn’t mean that the NGO is involved in it.

• USA: Freedom From Religion Foundation Call for Action: ’Help protect state/church separation’
  27 November 2018, by siawi3

  It is improper and imprudent to incentivize taxpayers to divert their funds from public schools to private religious schools, much less to profit from such a “donation.”

• France : Région Bretagne - Un million d’euros en soutien à l’enseignement privé catholique
  20 avril 2018, par siawi3

  Chacun connait déjà l’injustice qui consiste, selon une règle non écrite, à doter l’enseignement privé, presque entièrement sous tutelle des évêchés, de 20% de l’enveloppe budgétaire nationale alors même qu’il scolarise moins de 17% des élèves. « Ce qui est de certains ne peut s’imposer à tous, ni être à la charge de tous. Ainsi des croyances religieuses et de leur mise en œuvre cultuelle, qui ne doivent engager que les croyants et ne sauraient engager les athées ou les agnostiques. La religion n’est pas un service public. »
