Freedom Socialist Party May Day Celebration
A salute to the irrepressible working women of Asia
Monday 29 April, 6.30 pm,
Solidarity Salon,
580 Sydney Road, Brunswick (just north of Blyth Street)
Join us for a lively panel discussion about how to strengthen local
solidarity with the fighting women workers of Asia.

Worker Links
* Esperanza Acosta: feminist and refugee from El Salvador representing
Radical Women
* Peter Murray: unionist in the Rail, Tram and Bus Union representing
the Freedom Socialist Party
The program will also feature excerpts from "Dolls and Dust," a powerful
film about women workers in Sri Lanka, Thailand and South Korea who face
the brunt of capitalist globalisation. The personal testimonies and
struggles of women who labour in toy and doll factories highlight the
life and death battles to survive in the age of industrial
restructuring, privatisation, sexual harassment and discrimination.
An Asian buffet will be served at 6.30 pm for a $6.50 donation. No
charge for the program which will commence at 7 pm.
Everyone is welcome!
