Changing Times for the Isis Resource Center
- Details
by Nina Somera
The Resource Center started in a little corner at the International Documentation Center (IDOC) in Rome in the heady days of the 1970s. Rome was a hub of solidarity movements, hosting exiles including the sisters who found Isis Internacional in Santiago, Chile.
Although there was a dearth of writings by women from the South, the Resource Center grew. It collected analytical pieces written by women about the issues of the day. A lot of them came from small meetings on food security, sustainable agriculture, environment, health, especially maternal health and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). A lot of them have not seen print in any mainstream publications and even academic journals. Most of them are monographs.
