It is really depressing and frustrating to realize that all the efforts and changes that have been achieved thus far does not bear any significance at all in terms of recognizing the need to stop the violence and recognize womyn's rights. The Womyn's Centre at the school I am attending, University of Victoria is cuurently organizing an International Womyn's Week in conjuction with March 8. The failure of UN Human Rights Commission just represent another form of structural barrier in eliminating discrimination and inequality towards womyn and womyn of color. Once again, thanks for the message and I would like to request from anyone who knows more about this to send me information in terms of why the UN decided not to vote on the resolutions and what were the objections?
