SOUTH ASIANS FOR WOMEN'S LIVES Delegation for the March for Women's Lives At a time when women's rights are under attack, we join together as South Asians and South Asian Americans to express our overwhelming support for the health and reproductive rights of all women.   *** Register your support: http://www.saforchoice.org/ *** We believe that: * health and reproductive rights are fundamental tenets of freedom and are central to women's equality. * individual communities face unique barriers in exercising their rights, and therefore hope to include the voices of South Asians and South Asian Americans in the dialogue concerning women's health. Show your support for the South Asians for Women's Lives Delegation by registering at http://www.saforchoice.org/. Your name, along with the names of fellow supporters, will be printed on a banner and carried through Washington, DC on April 25, 2004 at the most significant and massive reproductive rights march in over a decade! (See http://www.marchforwomen.org for details). As we hope to maximize our group's visibility, we hope you will also be able to join us on this very important day in Washington DC.  Please refer to the website for information regarding travel coordinators in your area and lodging in DC. The South Asians for Women's Lives Delegation seeks to bring attention to the numerous international issues that affect women's ability to exercise autonomy over their bodies and their lives, including but not limited to HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, sex education, family planning, and access to healthcare. === Abhas Gupta, Sc.B.
