You Can Help End the Siege of Gaza: Ceasefire Now

The years-old blockade of Gaza is at crisis point: with a humanitarian disaster brewing, the southern border has been breached and over 300,000 Palestinians are leaving their homes and pouring across. The situation is chaotic -- the world needs to lend a hand and step in.To prevent catastrophe and protect civilians on all sides, your voice is needed urgently: Avaaz.org is running an emergency global campaign to international, European and Arab leaders, calling on them to stop the siege, oversee open borders and help broker a ceasefire. Avaaz.org will deliver the petition when they reach 150,000 signatures - please add your name below, and then spread the word:

International Women’s Day is 08th March 2008, and there is no better place to celebrate it then London, England – the most global capital in the world. Read about planned events for this most electric day for women world-wide. And every now and again I will post human rights issues near and dear to my heart.
