Discussion panel – About “unborn” life

2019, event, , , , , , , , ,

To terminate a pregnancy does not seem to be a woman’s personal affair anymore. According to conservative hardliners*, her belly belongs to everyone! The event takes up the current debate and looks for solutions to the complex problem of self-determination and freedom of information.

What is the situation like with abortions in Saxony and with our neighbours? What vision and demands do we have? What is the image of women and families behind this? How does this fit together with the dwindling number of midwives or insufficiently financed day care centres?

Wednesday, 29 May 2019 from 19:00 to 21:00 in the WIR AG (Martin-Luther-Str. 21, 01099 Dresden)

With Sarah Diehl (publicist et al.International Reproductive Rights of Women), Sarah Buddeberg (Equal Opportunities and Queer Policy Spokesperson of the Saxon Left Group) and a representative of e*vibes, Moderation: Susann Riske (Education Officer at the Special Office for Girls*Work and Gender Competence)
A joint event of the Bürger*innenbüro Sarah Buddeberg and the RLS Saxony

2019, event, , , ,

++No means… Confrontations with sexualised violence in left-wing contexts++

Crossing borders in the form of physical and psychological violence takes place everywhere, and even people who oppose sexism and work together for a mindful approach are being confronted with such behaviour themselves or within their immediate environment. Therefore such cases are not rare even within left-wing scenes.

News from Sex Workers Solidarity

2017, opinion, ,

The organization informed about the present state of the “prostitute protection act” (Prostituiertenschutzgesetz) in Saxony www.facebook.com/sexworkerssolidarity/posts/1469915186458012. The prostitutes are threated by chaos at council offices, stigmatization and repression instead of the promised protection.

They wrote a text www.facebook.com/sexworkerssolidarity/posts/1473598319423032 in which they call upon to join together against stigmatization.

The draft of the prostitute protection implementation act of Saxony is leaked evibes.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/Entwurf-S%C3%A4chsProstSchGAG.pdf. It is worked out by the social ministry and was not yet meant to be published. Sex Workers Solidarity stands up for an official debate before the law is passed.

Support Alicja Tyisac

Allgemein

Dear Friends of Ciocia Basia,

we are currently trying to get funds for an eye operation for Alicja Tyisac, a Polish woman who lost most of her eyesight due to being denied abortion. We would be very happy about your support.

A pregnant woman from Poland, diagnosed with a severe eye disease, tried to get an abortion to avoid an escalation of her disease.

Her requests were rejected by several medical doctors and she underwent labor of her third child. Her condition later deteriorated, and she sued one of the doctors.

Her criminal lawsuits were rejected in Poland and the case was appealed to the European Court of Human Rights, which accepted one part of the complaint, and the plaintiff was awarded damages.

At the moment “a woman” Alicja Tysiąc lives on 653 Polish Zloty a month, being: £135 and she is fighting to keep what’s left of her eye sight.

The medication costs her 4900pln (£1,019) …

Alicja is actively supporting #czarnyprotest and women right’s movement – NOW SHE NEEDS OUR SUPPORT.
