Dear friends,
queridas amigas, (español abajo)
Magaly Pineda had sent some days back a message from the Coalition Women Won´t Wait with a position for the G8 demanding Action on Violence Against Women. The statement is below. It would be good to know if you agree with it and we can indicate our support as FTF and also send it to our colleagues at GCAP as a position we want them to clearly demand from the G8 meeting. I would very much appreciate your comments.
Thanks!
Ana
Magaly Pineda envió hace unos días un mensaje de la Coalición Women Won´t Wait (Las Mujeres no Esperamos) con una posición para el G8 demandando que tomen acción en cuanto a la violencia contra las mujeres. Debajo está la declaración en inglés y como adjunto la declaración traducida al español. Les agradecería mucho si contestaran indicando si están de acuerdo y si les parece que la podemos apoyar como ETF y a su vez enviarla a los colegas de GCAP como una posición que queremos que presenten como demanda al G8. Les agradezco vuestros comentarios. También pueden adherirse a través del correo de la campaña.
Un abrazo,
Ana
