Subject: [Gain] fwd: Statement in Solidarity with Zim Women - Pls distribute
widely

Dear all

As you all know, things in Zimbabwe are not well. For those not directly in
touch with people in Zimbabwe, you will have read the
press coverage this weekend.This is a statement a group of us feminists in
Cape Town have put together, building on the calls being
made by Zimbabwe feminists for an immediate resolution of the cabinet
formation process in order to install a government that can deliver on
the immediate needs of Zimbabweans and restore begin building a new
Zimbabwe.

For those in Cape Town, we urge you to join a silent march between 1h30 and
2h30 tomorrow, Tuesday 28th starting at Community House in
Salt River and proceeding to 49 Roodebloem Rd - Woodstock where we will hold
a press briefing.

WE ARE ASKING WOMEN WHO JOIN THE ACTION TOMORROW TO DRESS IN BLACK AND WHITE
AS ZIMBABWEAN WOMEN HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS AS THE COLORS OF THEIR PROTEST
ACTIONS AT THE RAINBOW TOWERS IN HARARE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS!

The press briefing will be preceded by a briefing by Zimbabwean feminists
who will talk about the conditions of women's lives and why
a solution must be found now. The press briefing will start at 1h30.

The statement is being sent this afternoon to the Zimbabwean political
leaders (Mugabe, Tsangirai and Mutambara), heads of negotiation (all
three sides) and the facilitation team (former president Mbeki). Please
forward to women you know in Cape Town and if you have press
contacts please forward them to myself, at this email or number below.

We will put together a press release later today to invite the press and we
will send that to you and urge those of you with media contacts
to forward it to media houses and journalists you know.
