GABRIELA is a mass women's organization in the Philippines working to free women from all forms of oppression, whether intimate violence, landlessness and economic exploitation, lack of reproductive healthcare – or foreign domination by the U.S.

* After 9/11, U.S. bases in the Philippines re-opened...
* Women were over half of the 800 people disappeared in recent political violence under the U.S.-backed Arroyo dictatorship...
* Decades of economic and military domination by the U.S. have resulted in the massive exportation of Filipinas as domestic workers and mail-order brides...

Come hear about this amazing movement's work organizing peasant women, squatters, students, and the urban poor!

About the Film Series:
===================
Too often the roles of Global South women in struggles for economic
and social justice are ignored. Or they are mentioned in passing,
without a full look at the richness of their experiences, and lessons
they offer us all.

* What can we learn from women's contributions?
* Why does colonization depend on sexism?
* What can Global South women teach us about how racism, patriarchy, & imperialism work, that we might otherwise miss?
