About Citizen Journalism Project

 Today Women'sNet is working with partner organisations in South Africa to bring together an initial group of activists and organisations to build their capacity to develop media products. The capacity building takes the form of a hands-on technical skills training on using the technology tools to produce media products as well as raising awareness about the concepts and use of citizen media as part of development practice. This blog is a space for this capacity building and sharing idea, opinions and news.

Women Seen As Sexual Objects?

Submitted by samsmyth on Sun, 12/02/2012 - 11:14

History Of Corsets:

 
During the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1910), prudery was at its height.  Ironically, during this time underwear never ceased to be of interest, usually in the form of censure.  Its invisibility made it mysterious, rendering it all the more erotically appealing than ever before.

NO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Submitted by lebog on Tue, 06/12/2011 - 15:43


We are the adorable infants
Who are too innocent to hurt.
We know no evil, no adversity;
All we live for is eat, play and sleep.
To maintain our joy and splendour
And show the world that we are the future,
Take to the streets and support this campaign:
Say “No Violence Against Women And Children!’’

A LOVE SLAVE TO YOU

Submitted by lebog on Tue, 06/12/2011 - 15:40

Vulnerably being a love slave to you,
Like a dreamer craving for success,
I sing you a harmonious tune,
Yet, all I get is nothing but torment.

Unbearably trapped into love for you,
You know, a case of do or die;
I fall prey to your malicious moods
That I have no place to hide.

Incredulously overwhelmed by your elegance,
With a desire to uphold peace and harmony,
I feel distance, tension and bitterness;
No to mention the boundless fantasy.

BEING A BEWILDERED ABUSIVE MAN

Submitted by lebog on Tue, 06/12/2011 - 15:39

I hear an outcry of women and children,
Sadly protesting against abusive men.
I blow my own horn in stupidity,
Damned by the spirit of chauvinism

I see a ghastly march down the path,
Daringly parading and chanting in disgust.
I shiver and tremble in disbelief,
Overwhelmed by the state of cowardice.

I hear deafening noises of bustling sirens,
Horribly howling and breaking the silence.
I boast and threaten to shoot to kill,
Inflated by the empty pride like a blowfish.

UNGASS Forum 2011

Submitted by lebog on Wed, 06/04/2011 - 15:51

 On 23rd March 2011, I had to fly down to Cape Town for the UNGASS meeting to be held on 24th and 25th March. To cut the story short, let’s just say it was a memorable and yet stressful experience getting down to the Mother City, which proved to myself how far one can go to get what they want (lol).

women are free

Submitted by lebog on Fri, 10/12/2010 - 13:47

women are free from all the abuse and suffering from man, sixteen dayz of activizm shows that women have the right to be protected from the abuse because women from the olden dayz did nt have a say or get the opputunity to get help, as it is said that watinita umufazi watinta ibokodo; i also think that more men should b taugth about no violence to women and children and that abuse can decrease from most families, and it should not only be 16dayz of activism only in December but everyday because weman need to be protected. lets work together aga
