> Accountability: A Call for Action
> In the name of ensuring security, civil liberties
> have been curtailed,
> national borders tightened, and militarization is on
> the rise. At a
> critical moment of escalating military conflict and
> deepening economic
> disparities---as well as shortly before the US
> presidential primary
> season---there is an overwhelming urgency for voices
> of concern and
> dissent, for alternate visions and strategies. The
> Conference will provide
> the forum for these voices and visions, and reframe
> the focus of security
> from the safety of territory and states to human
> security - the safety of
> individuals, their freedom from fear, and social,
> economic, and physical
> well-being - and incorporate the experiences and
> concerns of women and
> girls, their families and communities.
>
> Join researchers, activists, policy analysts,
> educators, and funders to
> assess global and national issues, such as
> militarization; the economics
> of war; civil and human rights; cultures of
> violence; reproductive health
> and HIV/AIDS; the erosion of Title IX; the attack on
> reproductive right,
> local applications of international treaties; and
> immigration and
> citizenship.
