Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 22/08/2013 - 11:58am

August 22nd 2013 - “Around the world, gender topless discrimination still abounds,” said Nadine Gary, president of GoTopless, a women’s organisation fighting for equal topless rights on the basis of gender equality.

She said the organisation will hold topless civil rights demonstrations worldwide on August 25, marking the sixth straight year it has done so.

“We’ll be seen in greater numbers this year, with events in close to 40 cities around the world,” Gary said.
“Women must have the same legal right to go without a top that men do!”

Increased rotational presence of US troops, decreased Philippine sovereignty

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 20/08/2013 - 7:19pm

Akbayan (Citizens Action Party)

"Decreased sovereignty." This is how Akbayan Representative Walden Bello summed up the ongoing negotiations between the Philippine government and the United States to craft a framework for the increased rotational presence of American troops in the country.

According to the Akbayan stalwart, the Aquino government's decision to enter into negotiations for an increased rotational presence of U.S. forces in the country, by deploying aircraft, ships, supplies, and troops, is "injudicious."
