Isis International is pleased to announce that we have scanned and digitized all of our publications starting from our very first one in 1974. These represent a wealth of information and documentation from the international feminist movements, campaigns, groups and organizations from around the world, with a special focus on those in the Global South.
Isis International also has a huge collection of materials from the early feminist movements and groups in the Global South, many of which no longer exist. We hope to find ways to make sure that this historical material is not lost, to see them digitized and made available online.
We are happy to partner with others in this effort to preserve our feminist history, and welcome enquiries.

Participants of the Center's first Women's Global Leadership Institute chose the dates November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and December 10, International Human Rights Day, to symbolically link violence against women and human rights, and emphasize that violence against women is a human rights issue.

Hunger in the United States by Denise O' Brien
Who would have thought that land of milk and honey could ever be hungry? In her essay, organic farmer and farm activist Denise O' Brien demonstrated what is most likely the impact of the global economic downturn — one that is unseen by much of the world but deeply felt in the United States (US). “Although hunger in the US is less dire than in developing nations, it is nonetheless quite serious. Starvation is rare here, but malnourishment is not,” she asserted. This, as she pointed out the government's means of underprojecting this otherwise strange phenomenon.
