APRN Releases Book on Women and War
Official Launch in Manila on March 8th; E-Book Available Now
The Asia-Pacific Research Network (APRN) has published a new book entitled "CRISIS AND WOMEN RESISTING WAR," a selection of speeches and research projects presented from the 2010 Biennial Conference of APRN. The full story can be found below ...
Although women are mostly at the receiving end of the 
negative impacts of neoliberal globalization and war, the reality
is that they also go through various cycles of coping with,
adapting to, and resisting the onslaught of the multiple crises.
There has also been particular erosion of women’s intangible spaces such as the solidarity and community support, leaving the basic survival weave of women’s lives torn apart by the push of individualistic value systems generated by market-based consumption patterns and policies.
With shrinking means of subsistence and material returns from livelihood, women’s displacement has included physical dislocation ranging from rural-to-rural and rural-to-urban to forced migration. This physical dislocation hides within many other contours of dispossession, emotional distress, physical and sexual abuse, and violence.
