Namibia Rural Women’s Assembly „Frauen sind die Wächter von Land, Leben, Saatgut und Liebe“ – Die Stimme der namibischen Frauen auf dem Land
Profil – was ist die Namibische Rural Women’s Assembly?
Die Rural Women’s Assembly hat das Ziel, Verbindungen zwischen den Selbstorganisationen der Frauen auf dem Land aufzubauen und zu stärken. Und durch Kämpfe die Stimme und Sichtbarkeit der an den Rand gedrängten Frauen auf dem Land aufzubauen und für Alternativen zu mobilisieren und einzutreten, die die nachhaltige Souveränität über Lebensmittel und die Lebensgrundlage auf dem Land unterstützen und das einheimische Wissen, Lebensmittel und Saatgut zu fördern.
Vision der NRWA:
Eine strukturierte Wirtschaft auf dem Land und eine neue Darstellung der ländlichen Gegenden, in der jene, über die in der Geschichte verfügt und die unterdrückt wurden, Zugang zu Lebensunterhalt erhalten und und gleichberechtigten Anteil an den Ressourcen (Land und Gemeingut), wovon sie im allgemeinen ausgeschlossen werden, und wo Frauen und Männer auf dem Land in Harmonie und Frieden mit einander leben können (Menschheit und Natur).
Werte der NRWA

Declaration of Protest
To the President of the Kurdish Region in North Iraq
on the Repression against the Kurdish Women’s Office REPAK in Erbil
We are writing to you from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the MENA region as world coordinators of the 2nd World Women’s Conference of Grassroots Women. We are out-raged and strongly protest against the repression against the staff of the Kurdish Women’s Office (REPAK) and their office rooms on 5 June, 2016, which your government carries the responsibility for.
Without any legal basis, heavily armed security forces invaded the REPAK office, searched the rooms, confiscated identity papers and mobile phones of the staff, deported the women, threw them out and left them on the road between Erbil and Kirkuk.
We regard this attack on REPAK, on this organisation of the Kurdish liberation struggle and for the liberation of Kurdish women, as an attack on us as Worldwomen as well. The 2nd World Women’s Conference of Grassroots Women took place in March 2016 in Kathmandu/Nepal and 2000 women, representatives of the militant women’s movement from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America an the MENA region, participated in it. They again represent tens of thousands of women all over the world, who stand up for women’s rights, for freedom and democracy. Integral part of this movement is the solidarity with the struggle of the Kurdish women for liberation!
Meral Cicek and her fellow fighters are coordinators of the Worldwomen in the MENA region, they gave us Worldwomen deep insight and feeling for the Kurdish liberation struggle which has been going on for centuries and they contributed decisively to making the 2nd World Women’s Conference a success.
We will make this outrageous incident public everywhere!
We strongly demand the instantaneous handover of the identification papers, of the mobile phones, as well as of all confiscated objects from the office rooms!
We demand the immediate re-opening of the office and its work without any restriction!
We are convinced that this repression will not deter REPAK from continuing to work for the rights or the Kurdish people.

from Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America and the MENA region

Report from Sri Lanka on the effects of a tropical storm in May 2016:
Menu Niluskshika, deputy WWC Asia Coordinator reports on the consequences of a tropical storm in Sri Lanka:
On 15 May 2016 Sri Lanka was hit by a severe tropical storm that caused widespread flooding and landslides in 22 districts of the country destroying homes and submerging entire villages. At least 84 people are known to have died as a result of Tropical Storm Roanu and a further 116 people are still missing, many as the result of a landslide that struck Aranayake, Kegalle district on 17 May 2016; this was followed by a second landslide in the same area four days later and landslides warning remain in place in nine areas of the country.
Currently 237,240 people are displaced from their homes and living in a variety of safe locations including camps, schools, temples, with host families and in other temporary accommodation. The majority of these displaced people are in Colombo and Gampaha districts in the south-west of the country where floodwaters still remain high. As a result of heavy rains, several major reservoirs overflowed and flood gates were fully opened to avoid a dam breach, causing flooding downstream. Areas downstream of two large rivers to the north and south of the capital city Colombo, the Kelani river and the Kalu river, remain flooded with the possibility of further floodwaters flowing from upstream areas should heavy rains persist.
It is expected to take several days for floodwaters to recede and in some areas water levels remain as high as the roofs of people’s houses with access only possible by boat or by air. Many of the affected population, particularly in the rural areas, were already amongst the most vulnerable in the country and have now lost everything, including their homes, possessions, agricultural land and means of making a living. In the urban areas there are growing health concerns related to the quantity of so much standing water in highly populated areas and the destruction of much of the water and sanitation infrastructure, which could lead to serious public health issues. The Government of Sri Lanka is leading the response to the floods; Tri Forces are fully engaged in search and rescue, and evacuation missions as well as distributing relief items to those people still trapped by the flood waters, and the Sri Lankan Army are working to recover the bodies of those missing in the Aranayake landslide. Local organisations, faith groups, youth groups and businesses are actively involved in the provision of aid. Priority needs are for WASH, health, shelter and food assistance, and current requests include the provision of emergency items including clothing, water purification tablets, temporary latrines, hygiene and cooking equipment.
