Since 1963, AMERICAN ATHEISTS has been the premier organization laboring for the civil liberties of Atheists, and the total, absolute separation of government and religion. It was born out of a court case begun in 1959 by the Murray family which challenged prayer recitation in the public schools. That case – Murray v. Curlett – was a landmark in American jurisprudence on behalf of our First Amendment rights.

O Coletivo Feminista Sexualidade e Saúde

Linked with Maria José de Oliveira Araújo – Brazil, with Open letter to the Vatican; and with O PROGRAMA DE ASSISTÊNCIA INTEGRAL À SAÚDE DA MULHER (PAISM) EM GOIÂNIA.

PAISM: No Brasil, o Coletivo Feminista Sexualidade e Saúde desenvolve, desde 1985, um trabalho de atenção primária à saúde da mulher com uma perspectiva feminista e humanizada, tendo atendido, desde então, mais de seis mil mulheres.

Inspirado pela experiência feminista internacional, o método utilizado desde a capacitação das primeiras trabalhadoras, foi o da crítica ao modelo médico clássico da gineco-obstetrícia. Nosso modelo vem propondo uma ‘medicina suave’ – dos tratamentos naturais e menos agressivos – e de preocupação com o conhecimento do corpo como um dos elementos centrais para a saúde. A mulher/usuária é percebida como um indivíduo, o sujeito da ação de saúde, capaz de entender, decidir e cuidar do próprio corpo e da própria vida.

No site é possível conhecer a proposta, a história e os projetos do Coletivo Feminista.

ABOUT:

  • Vision: An Africa where women and youth are full participants in the continent’s social, economic and political development;
  • Mission: To empower and enable the development of Africa by strengthening organizations and initiatives dedicated to the advancement of women and youth;
  • Strategy: provide financial support; offer leadership development; build organizational capacity; foster collaboration with like-minded groups on an international scale; conduct research and publish findings on the contributions and status of women and youth.
  • Progress Report: By summer’s end, we were clear that an organization that honored my mother’s passion had to be a vehicle for developing women and youth as change agents in Nigeria.

We even crafted the goal: to restore democracy by empowering civil society in the spirit of commitment demonstrated by Kudirat Abiola. To achieve this, we identified five focus areas — women, youth, media, civil society development and friends (the solidarity idea instrumental in achieving democracy in South Africa). Both the goal and the focus areas has been clarified a great deal this year but served us well for our first three years.
