I'm reading Living Dolls at the moment - which will be discussed in this topic of MN tomorrow (25 Aug 9pm).
In the last chapter and in an Appendix there is a very useful list of organisations websites which I have reproduced here:
- In 2003 a group of women who were concerned about the sexual objectification of women created the organisation OBJECT
- In 2007 some women began to take direct action against lads' magazines and adverts for plastic surgery by defacing them with stickers Somewhat Strident Facebook Group.
- In 2004 some women decided to revive the Reclaim the Night marches that had been a feature of the second-wave women's movement.
- In 2001 Catherine Redfern set up the F Word blog which provides a forum for women to debate all aspects of Feminism.
- In 2006 Natscha Walter set up an organisation called Women for Refugee Women to campaign for the rights of women who flee persecution to seek refuge in the UK.
- In 2008 a group of women launched the first UK fund for women, Rosa, which aims to direct more money into women's organisations and to campaign for the continuning need for the women's sector.
-In 2004 Womankind Worldwide, which usually works with women across the developing world, launched a programme to tackle sexual bullying in schools in the UK.
- In 2008 rape crisis centres and the Women's Resource Centre launched the "Crisis in Rape Crisis" campaign, to draw attention to the lack of proper funding for rape crisis centres throughout the UK.
