Dear Colleagues, RAINBO (Research, Action and Information Network for the Bodily Integrity of Women) is pleased to announce the launching of a new website www.amanitare.org for one of our initiatives, AMANITARE, the African Partnership for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Women and Girls. We have also updated our website www.rainbo.org. Following are brief descriptions of the work of RAINBO and AMANITARE: RAINBO - the Research, Action and Information Network for the Bodily Integrity of Women - www.rainbo.org is an international not-for-profit organization working on issues that intersect women's health and human rights. With a history of work on Female Circumcision/Female Genital Mutilation (FC/FGM), RAINBO has gained institutional and technical expertise in dealing with difficult women's health and rights issues in Africa and in African immigrant and refugee communities. RAINBO's ultimate goal is to promote and protect women's sexual and reproductive health and rights. AMANITARE - the African Partnership for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Women and Girls - www.amanitare.org was launched in Uganda in 2000, and is coordinated by RAINBO. AMANITARE's goal is to build an influential social movement to institutionalize the recognition of African women's and girls' sexual and reproductive health rights as fundamental to their civil and human rights. AMANITARE is organized into three action groups, each coordinated by an African NGO: 1. Advocating for Freedom from Gender-Based Violence 2. Integrating Sexual and Reproductive Rights into Health Services 3. Reaching-Out to New Generations I am attaching for your easy reference, an AMANITARE fact sheet which features the slogan and logo developed for the partnership. This fact sheet will give you a quick and concise overview of the partnership's focus. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like any more information. Kind Regards, Nadia C.
