Hola, soy ecuatoriana y tengo 23 años. Hace un año contraje matrimonio con un ciudadano americano que me gritó y me insultó durante todo mi embarazo. Regresé a ecuador y mi hijo nació, pero un mes y cuatro días después falleció. Mi esposo, de 41 años, me sigue insultando y ahora se lo pude grabar por teléfono. Él no quiere arreglar mis papeles de residencia y yo tengo miedo de vivir con él. ¿Qué hago?

Mi nombre es Esmeralda Baca Urcelay. Y hoy soy "sobreviviente de violencia domestica" después de casi 17 años de maltrato y abuso hacia mi y hacia mis hijos. Si tu, estás leyendo en este momento esta página tal vez eres una víctima que necesita ayuda. Y yo te pido que por favor, por ti y por los seres que mas amas en la vida, salgas de ese pantano en que te encuentras y pidas ayuda. Por favor no permitas que te pase lo que me pasó a mi, que por mantener una falsa esperanza en que mi pareja cambiaría, perdí a mis hijos. Hoy mis niños están bajo custodia del Estado y me acusan de no protejer o evitar que mis hijos viviesen y sufrieran la violencia doméstica a la que fueron sometidos por tantos años.
Si, sé que se escucha muy cruel que después de ser víctima pases a ser victimario, pero la ley es así, si no te protejes a ti misma, entonces no eres capaz de protejer tus hijos. Por eso , te aconsejo como amiga.....POR FAVOR actúa ya! Hoy mismo, pide ayuda antes de alguien mas lo haga por ti.
Tu vales mucho y tus hijos valen mas.
El dolor mas grande para una mujer no es dar a luz a sus hijos.......es que se los arrebaten.
Espero que mi experiencia te habra los ojos y te permita actuar.
Sinceramente....Esmeralda

Greetings,
Are you ready to say good-bye to President Bush's global gag
rule? I know I am.
With your help, we can take a step closer to our goal. Recently
the Senate voted to repeal the dangerous and divisive global gag
rule by a vote of 53 to 41!
20,000 of our activists helped us win this key Senate vote. Now
we have to make sure that the Senate language is included in the
final bill Congress sends to Bush.
Help us reach our goal of getting 50,000 supporters to contact
Congress - click here http://prochoiceaction.org/campaign/cong _globalgag_091407/wdn5ukkr4ej6k6n?. Your
action can make a difference.
By taking action today, you can help us build the support we
need to end the global gag rule and ensure that women around the
world have access to birth-control services. But it's not going
to be easy.
President Bush has already threatened to veto any bill that
includes a pro-choice provision, including this one. That's why
I need you to join me in urging Congress to stand firm against
Bush's global gag rule - http://prochoiceaction.org/campaign/cong _globalgag_091407/wdn5ukkr4ej6k6n?.
Thank you again for activism in support of women's reproductive
health and freedom.
My best,
Nancy Keenan
President
NARAL Pro-Choice America

women's voice in the counselling -therapy services
Hi
I have been looking for information around the following issue;
Counsellors or therapists who have been raped/abused themselves.
I am a women who has a history of abuse and rape. I work as a counsellor and I am seeking offical registration here in New Zealand.
I am feeling stigmatised.
Polictically I am also seeing the bureaucratization of the services being offered to women who have been raped and abused. Feminist understanding is not upheld.
Here in New Zealand people who have experienced mental illness have now some say in their services. People who have had addiction issues are also
recogonised in their field.
Women who have been raped and abused have no say or place in theraputic services.
I have always been out --I have written a book Getting to Peace a guide for healing after rape and abuse. I have just recieved a letter from another cousellor questioning my integrity and honesty--very strange.
I am wondering of this is something others are noticing. I think that we do have a place in the services being offered to us. I think that we need to be included and women should have a choice.
Women who come to see me appreciate that I have been through rape and abuse.
I would love to connect with other who are interested in this issue.
Enjoyed reading your site.
Warm regards Brenda www.healingafterrapeandabuse.co.nz

I have been a victim of D.V when I was residing in U.s. from Nov'98 to April '04. I was sent away by my husband forcefully even before I got my green card with my two U.s. born children. At presen I am fighting in the Bangalore India courts against him about D.V. I was not even able to secure the documents I had filed in the Nashivlle Family Courts of D.V. I need someone who can help me to secure those docs and send it to me. My email id. is savitha_law36@yahoo.com

PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY:

http://pubs.pcadv.net/wocn/callt oaction9-20.pdf
http://pubs.pcadv.net/w ocn/calltoaction9-20.pdf
TO ALL WOMEN OF COLOR ADVOCATES AND ACTIVISTS, ALLIES AND COLLEAGUES:
During our Call to Action II: "How Will We Organize?"
for Women of Color Advocates that took place on Thursday, August 16, 2007, several participants stated
their interest in seeing the Call to Action continue,
not just as a way to encourage dialogue but as an
actual MOVEMENT.
The decision was made by the group on the call to continue the conference calls for women of color
advocates and to take concrete steps toward action.
The following are steps that were agreed upon:
1) To develop a National Call to Action Statement that will be representative of our collective voices;
2) To develop a more systematic way to address racism and other forms of oppression in our programs -
including the ironic BACKLASH that some advocates of
color are currently getting for being a part of these calls;
3) To plan and implement a National Conference
entitled: "Call to Action: Organizing Advocates of Color" to take place within the next two years;
4) To highlight what is working well in our programs.
