EAVES' Lilith Project: Women’s Weekly News
Submitted by jill on Thu, 11/22/2007 - 14:59.
Eaves gives a voice to the most excluded women in society. For more than 30 years we’ve been providing support, accommodation, outreach and advice to women who have experienced violence.
Our work spans trafficking, domestic violence, sexual violence and forced labour and is backed by research, capacity-building and awareness-raising. Eaves research team, the Lilith Project, produces the Women’s Weekly News as part of this work.
Lilith Project
The Lilith Project is sick of the media. We think a lot of other women are too.
We believe that violence against women is a crime, but the media often blames women. We believe that women are thinking, feeling human beings, but the media often portrays us as objects. We want news stories to reflect our beliefs, and that’s why we have developed our own free, weekly, e-news resource, for everyone who believes in putting women first.
The Women’s Weekly News is an electronic round-up of violence against women issues in the media. The round-up also includes:
- Violence against women media coverage
- Feminist analysis of news stories
- Events, training and conferences within/for the women’s sector
- Vacancies and volunteering opportunities from women’s organisations
- Calls for action, lobbying and campaigning
Lilith Women's Weekly News
When Lilith began the Women's Weekly News, we intended it to be a resource purely for women's organisations.
Five years on, after more than 200 editions and now with 500 subscribers, it is read by a wide audience from police units to health services, unions to education centres and women's organisations and feminists from across the UK.
The Women’s Weekly News is free to all subscribers and advertisers and an extensive archive of past newsletters is available online.
