<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
