> ANTI-WAR MESSAGE FROM THE WOMEN OF UGANDA > > Dear Sisters, > > We the women of Kaabong Women's Group on behalf of the rural grassroots > women in Uganda, especially Karamoja region, are opposing military actions, > budgets, arms fairs, and highly condemn the acts of terrorism and the > revenge the USA has taken. Women, children are dying innocently. We bring > this message of millions of women deprived of their basic human rights and > status in all parts of the world and we join the International Women Count > Network in London as we come to the third Global Women's Strike in which we > shall all participate, with the theme "Invest in caring not killing". Women > and children are the majority of those killed and wounded in armed > conflicts, besides their hard work of life-giving, going through severe > hardship, cleaning, nursing, building, walking miles for clean water. All > of us who have joined the Global Women's Strike are here on earth as living > witnesses of thousands of people - women who suffer acts of violence and > injustice caused by armed conflicts. We forced political and economic > leaders to listen to us about military budgets, but we've failed to obtain > even one satisfactory response to our demands. The demands stand unchanged. > > It is up to us to continue acting with all anti-neo-liberal globalization > and anti-sexist movements to force international financial institutions > (World Bank & IMF) to radically change course and to make the UN assume > veritable political leadership in the people's, particularly women's, > interests. We must also find the means and the platform from which to > continue our action to eliminate violence in the world. We have a lot on > our plates. > > Members of Kaabong Women's group had a silence of prayers for all those who > died in the terrorists act in New York and Washington and for the Women and > Children who died in Afghanistan. > > Throughout history, women have crossed geographical, cultural and > ideological borders in search of peace.
