- Dear Friends, A new conference : mnl.meet is now available on IGC,
- GreenNet etc.. This conference is an experiment to provide live
- exchange of ideas with the first Asian Indigenous Women's
- Conference being held at Baguio city - Philippines (Jan 24-Jan
- 30).
-
- "BAGUIO CITY -- Indigenous women from 19 countries are converging
- here for the "First Asian Indigenous Women's Conference" to be
- held January 24-30.
-
- The Conference is the first to be held for Asia's 150 million
- indigenous population. It opens venues for women's voices to be
- heard during the UN- proclaimed International Year for the
- World's Indigenous Peoples, said Victoria Corpuz. Corpuz heads
- the non-government Cordillera Women's Education and Resource
- Center (CWERC), main host of the conference."
-
- Organisers have agreed to post daily reports, resolutions etc from
- this conference for others interested in these issues to
- participate remote (by posting on this conference). All the
- postings on mnl.meet will be networked daily to Baguio city
- conference place (with the help of GreenNet and Email Centre
- Manila).
-
- In addition to provide an opportunity to participate remotely we
- also intend to experiment with using low cost methods to provide
- connectivity with events taking place in third world countries.
-
- We invite you to visit mnl.meet and request you to send your
- greeting messages to conference participants (most of them will
- first time experience use of electronic networking for
- International solidarity).Thanking you for your support and
- interest, Jagdish Parikh (International Liaison - Interdoc-AsPac)
