Negotiations in Honduras between the democratically elected President Zelaya and Micheletti’s de facto regime are deadlocked. The U.S. administration and Congress are embracing Honduran elections on Nov 29th as a solution in spite of the continued human rights violations by military forces. Broad sectors of civil socie...ty point out that ongoing repression and censorship make elections impossible in this time frame and indicate they will boycott if constitutional order is not returned. Calls and notes to the State Department (202-647-4000), National Security Council (http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/) and Congress are critical. The message should be no agreement, no support of elections—push for a return to constitutional order.Read More

Honduras to accompany and spotlight the ...struggle of the Honduran

women - in particular, the human rights abuses, sexual harrassment and
rape committed against women who are resisting the coup and calling for
a return to democracy.

Looks like women of the world are finally getting an independent and hopefully well-FUNDED women's institution within the UN!!! You many not realize that today, UNIFEM is merely a department within UNDP and not a stand alone entity with high level decisionmaking. It also has less 1/80th of the resources. So this is imp...ortant -- for the possibility of moving our agendas forward.

Charlotte
Bunch, director of the Centre for Women's Global Leadership and a vocal
proponent of the new agency, called it a "great victory for women's
rights".
