<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Dear Ana, Rosa & FTF friends,<br><br>So sorry to have missed out on all the discussions and telecalls over<br>
the past few weeks, and am responding collectively to this and other<br>mails.<br><br>But firstly, let me thank you for taking so seriously the news about<br>my transition. I almost fell off my chair to read that it was being<br>
discussed in the FTF group and Global Council. I did not intend to do<br>a formal farewell note until I had a chance to also introduce my<br>replacement to GCAP, but I do need to come in here to say - and not<br>for the first time - that the FTF has had such an important role to<br>
play in my journey from being an overwhelmed outsider (read Beirut<br>Meeting) to finding my path, friends and politics with the GCAP<br>network.<br><br>This mail really reinforces all the reasons behind this connect for<br>
me, and makes me want to explore with both the India campaign & the<br>FTF for the possibility of continuing to be a part of the Feminist<br>Taksforce in the coming year.<br><br>Coming back to the work agenda, I am delighted to hear that we will be<br>
working closely with SWI to look at a global framework on Women &<br>Poverty investments and policies. I am sure the India coalition would<br>want to play an active role in this agenda - do keep us informed &<br>involved.<br>
<br>I am also happy to share that as part of the annual plans of Wada Na<br>Todo in the next 2 years, we have integrated the Women's Tribunal as<br>an annual feature on October 17th - with a flexibiilty to select the<br>
theme that would be most relevant for the campaign (WNTA & GCAP)<br>agenda. If there is any early thinking on this, it would be good to<br>publicize the same across coalitions so that many of those who had<br>shown interest across regions could strart planning accordingly.<br>
<br>Finally in relation to March 8th and G20, as you may know we have<br>undertaken a first of its kind, extensive process of building a<br>grassroots agenda aiming to cover 547 parliamentary constituencies of<br>India - as a preparation towards the National Elections that are being<br>
held in April. In the coming week, we will be releasing to the media<br>the demands that have emerged from 200 parliamentary constituences<br>where the meetings have already taken place.<br><br>In continuation of this agenda we are working to compile and release<br>
the Women's Charters & related Demands that have also been released<br>across constituencies as part of this process. I believe this could<br>provide an important base for demands in the context of G20. My<br>colleague Suman Dasgupta who is on the G20 group is also talking to<br>
specific partners of Wada Na Todo on the possibility for joint action<br>on 1 April as part of the Global Action date. We will keep you updated<br>accordingly.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Lysa<br><br><br><br><br>On 20/02/2009, Ana Agostino <<a href="mailto:ana@icae.org.uy">ana@icae.org.uy</a>> wrote:<br>
