GlobalEyes Issue 4...

...is out now!

I emailed everyone today (Monday 25th), so I hope you have all received it. Congratulations to all the contributors. I hope you also like the updated style.

If by some chance you haven't had the new issue, let me know.

I'd be keen to hear what you think of it: how does this group's experiences compare to your memories of Scotland?

I've also emailed to say that as the new issue is out, that means we have to start thinking about the next one...the following is taken from the email I sent on the subject:

At the evaluation discussion in August, the participants in the latest media programme discussed what subjects could be covered in the next issue. When we were talking about what date Issue 5 would come out, the fact that November 25th is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women was raised. If the newsletter could be targeted to come out on that day, the topic could be around women and democracy, especially the subject of women who face violence.

Themes that could be covered included: domestic abuse – how is this subject addressed around the world?; trafficking of women, especially for prostitution; citizenship status of women, especially those who are trafficked; the human rights of women, again especially of those who are bought and sold; the fight against violence against women in war zones. These are just a few ideas we covered. We all agreed it would be interesting to get a global picture of the situation.

So – what does everyone think of this as a topic? Could you provide a story on the theme from your country? Or your thoughts on one of the topics? If we have agreement on that theme, then the deadline needs to be 10th November at the latest, for your articles. Any images would also be welcome (pictures from demonstrations etc). Let me know your thoughts as soon as possible – I look forward to hearing from you.

Chris
