Violence Against Women meeting

Thursday 13th November 2008

First time since the VAW event, us young ladies got together to discuss where to move on from hereon in.

The meeting initially had a slow start but once taking control of where the meeting was heading to, everyone was delegated research tasks ready to report in January's group meeting. There was a general consensus that I become co-coordinator of the VAW team, believing that two people are needed to lead the group. I was more than happy to do so. Hopefully now our team will have a sharper focus concentrating on prostitution, considering how big VAW really is.

Research tasks:
1/ Information on the English Coalition for Prostitution
2/ Understand research projects of other feminist group
3/ Liasion with the Trade union
4/ Summarise previous VAW event notes for desemination
5/ Research reaction from male-dominated groups against prostitution (collaborate men's group with WILPF)
