The Auckland Women's Centre is starting a new Feminist group with the first meeting being on Wednesday September 8th. We envisage that this group will meet monthly and possibly organise relevant forums and action on particular topics.
For more information or to register your interest please contact Leonie Morris on 09 376 3227 or akcentre@womenz.org.nz.
There are a few more spaces left in our wonderful Women's Self Defence workshop next Saturday with Barb Wallis.
Self-defence is about empowering women, realising our potential, feeling good about ourselves, and taking care of ourselves in all manner of situations. Learn mental, verbal and physical self-defence in a sup...portive environment. For women of all ages.
Saturday 11 Sept, 1:00pm-4:00pm, $30
Bookings essential, ph 376 3227
In November Dr Jacqui True, will present a workshop on her current book project, "Preventing violence against women: The political economy of women's human rights." for more information please click here.
We recently had a book launch for our new publication, A PROUD HERSTORY; A CELEBRATION OF THE AUCKLAND WOMEN'S CENTRE 1975-2010. Past Coordinators, Sue Fitchett, Jacqui Fill and Paulette Benton-Greig spoke offering their reflections on the Centre's growth and development since it's origin. If you'd like to purchase a copy of A Proud Herstory, please contact us on 376 3227 or info@womenz.org.nz
Cost is $15 from the Centre or $20 from the Women's Bookshop. We would be more than happy to post you a copy for $18 ($3 for post and packaging).
