Resources
A) Women for Hire
Women For Hire is recognized as a groundbreaking venue for America's leading
businesses to recruit dynamic, talented women candidates. Their expertise
is connecting top employers with a diverse pool of women. Post your resume
or post a position at their site.
B) Helping Afghani Women
Many of you have an interest in serving, supporting, or being informed
about women in Afghanistan. One reliable resource for information and
action is V-Day. V-Day is an award-winning charity and global movement
to stop violence against women and girls, founded by Eve Ensler, an award-winning
playwright, activist and screenwriter. V-Day
was instrumental in the recent Afghan Women's Summit that took place in
Brussels, Belgium earlier this month. To learn more about this conference
and the Brussels Proclamation, visit: http://www.vday.com/ie/index2.cfm?articleID=622.
Also, from last month's eNewsletter:
RAWA
(Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan)
RAWA is a
political/social organization of Afghan women struggling for peace, freedom,
democracy and women's rights in fundamentalism-blighted Afghanistan. Established
in 1977, this women's organization has been recognized in their human
rights campaign by many countries and Amnesty International.
