About: The Women and Life on Earth internet project began in 1999 to help connect women internationally, share information and work for ecological health and peace with justice in the new millennium. Our roots go back to an earlier Women and Life on Earth movement (see below). Since 2002 we have worked from an office in Berlin, Germany. Our non-profit association Women and Life on Earth: women in international cooperation for peace, ecology and social justice has been staffed by volunteer members and funded by contributions and project work. In 2006 we shifted our first website to a new open content format and decentralized our project work. In March 2008 we are launching our first fundraising drive to support and expand our work.

Sharing Information to pursue progress in human rights

Linked with Anthony Ravlich – New Zealand.

The HR Network (excerpt):

• The Human Rights Network is a meeting place for New Zealanders with an interest and commitment to human rights;
• Available social research suggests New Zealanders have a commitment to human rights, yet the human rights movement in New Zealand has been fragmented, making it difficult to share information and ideas and to mobilise to meet human rights challenges;
• A determination to establish a network infrastructure, the Human Rights Network, came about as a result of the experience of some individuals and organisations during the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1998, and during the debate about the future of New Zealand’s domestic human rights protections;
• Through the Human Rights Network knowledge can be exchanged more often, news can be disseminated more widely and consultation can take place more easily. Where there is a need for collective action, mobilisation can take place with greater haste.

Introduction: Campaign for international justice for victims of violations of economic, social & cultural rights: … We are campaigning to provide victims of economic, social and cultural rights violations with access to international justice. Currently, if you have been tortured or if your right to freedom of expression is violated, you can complain to the United Nations. But if you have been forcibly evicted, or if you are unable to access healthcare services, you don’t have the same opportunity. It should not be that way! The way forward is the development of what is called an Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (OP-ICESCR). This Optional Protocol (OP) will establish a complaints mechanism allowing you to present your case to the United Nations … (click on Read more ).

Our Demands: The core elements which are promoted and defended by the International Coalition for an OP-ICESCR in the ESCR Protocol Now! Campaign include:

• An Optional Protocol to the ICESCR will provide victims of violations of economic, social and cultural rights access to international justice;
• It would establish a communications procedure that would enable individuals and groups to file complaints before the CESCR Committee for specific violations of the rights contained in the Covenant. Similar procedures are already available for violations of other international and regional human rights treaties;
• The primary purpose of the NGO Coalition for the OP to the ICESCR is to advocate for the adoption and use of an effective OP to the ICESCR;
• Members of the Coalition have identified five key elements for an effective OP. Each is a minimum requirement for the Optional Protocol that should be promoted by all NGOs wishing to contribute to the process of making the OP to the ICESCR a meaningful human rights instrument.

The Controversial News Network is just as the name implies: a news network that covers « the other half of the story. » In some cases it is the other three-quarters of the story. And in tragically far too many it is a totally untold story … (about 1/2).

About 2/2: In America, we are « 16th » in « freedom of the press, » according to an international survey, even though this is the only country for which the founders actually built into the Constitution the guarantee of total freedom of the press. Right now there are courageous reporters in prison for not revealing their sources, notwithstanding that guarantee in the fabric document of our nation, « The Federal US Constitution. » CWNN’s mission is to expose the « sacred cows » that no so-called « no spin zone » talk show host will touch with a ten-foot pole. This website serves as a mainframe of information collected by the Network. Its primary task for now is to archive the shows aired on the San Diego radio station CASH 1700AM, broadcasting live Sundays at 7pm-8pm, hosted by Eugene Ellis with co-host Scott Wood.
