Three active campaigns organizing around sexuality in India have gained international attention. First, the long-term campaigns against honor killing in rural North India have finally reached the Indian national stage. Second, the spontaneous and to many surprising upsurge of young women's and men's protest against the Delhi gang rape of a woman on December 16, 2012 continues to galvanize protests and legal changes. Third, the immediate reaction to the Supreme Court's decision to reinstate section 377 of the Indian penal code, a British-era law that makes gay sex illegal, that was overturned...

Visualization - when it misses the point and why Investigation - when it gets it right This short interactive presentation will look at what is going on with the use of visualization and info-graphics in the activism (advocacy) context. Some spectacular examples of how wrong can things go will maybe be presented. Second part will be switching from visual to evidence - what is it, where can you get it from, and why it matters (we will watch a short film to showcase a specific scenario looking at investigating organized crime). Who should come: People who seriously have nothing better to do...

This session aims to provide an informal space for discussing the relationship of (in)visible identification (as women, men, LGBT, queer) to the types of political action possible. As such, we aim to discuss how visibility functions politically in Beirut, and how does its gendered manifestation shape the ways in which we choose our political strategies and do politics. To facilitate the discussion, we will touch upon themes such as “coming out”, as well as parts of the “identity politics” versus “queer politics” debate. We’ll do so through reflecting upon the politics of local civil society...

A woman (/ˈwʊmən/), pl: women (/ˈwɪmɨn/) is a female human.

On average, 1 woman dies every month from family violence in Lebanon.
