Hi Everybody
We are three female students from Sheffield Hallam currently filming a
documentary on how women are objectified in the media and retail
industry aswell as the general over exposure of sex in society. We

it be possible to have a couple of minutes of your time for an
interview or even come along to the meeting on thursday the 29th and
chat to some of the members? If any members feel uncomfortable with
this we will respect their privacy. Please contact us as soon as

Hi Kirsty,

How horrible. This is really tough because people just don't think beyond the
hiphop, gangsta, it's all a bit of glamourous fun type idea to see what pimp
and ho actually represents : the slavery of women. I would start by printing
out some facts about the reality of prostitution - not a big list, just one per
A4 sheet, in big bold text, and paste them over the pimp and ho posters, plus
all over campus - put some kind of slogan on the bottom to make it clear that
this is in reference to the pimp and ho night ie pimp = slave trader,
prostitution = violence against women, say no to pimps and hos etc etc. You
could also print out some smaller versions and leaflet people. Write to the
hallam paper to outline your opposition and try and get others on board - talk
to them when you leaflet them.

If all this fails, do what one of my blog readers did once : turn up to the
night dressed as an actual street prostitute : she used make up to make it seem
like she'd been beaten, needle marks on her arms, and leaflet people. I knwo
that takes a lot of guts, and if I was in the country I'd come with you (Im in
Chile), maybe one of your friends could do it with you if you don't want to do
it alone?

You can find info about the reality of prostitution here :

http://prostitution research. com/

It's a US site, but seeing as the pimp and ho thing comes from the US I think
that's fine.

This article is also v illuminating and has stats relevant to the UK:

http://www.newstate sman.com/ 200601230006

This in particular:

"Research published in 2001 showed that almost two-thirds of prostitutes in
three cities said their main reason for selling sex was to fund a drug habit,
and the Home Office estimates that 95 per cent of street prostitutes use heroin
or crack cocaine. Most prostitutes in Britain come from poor backgrounds, more
than two-thirds enter the sex trade before the age of 18, and half have
suffered sex abuse at home before being taken up by pimps."

Well, good luck, I'll be with you in spirit, and email me if you have any
questions or want any more help,

Best,

Laura

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has sentenced a 19 year-old rape victim
to 90
lashes for appearing in public with an unrelated male, The Scotsman
reported
March 6. Islamic law forbids women from appearing in public with men
who are not
relatives.

According to various press reports, an unidentified man told the
victim that he
would spread rumors about a relationship between them if she failed
to meet him
at a shopping mall. The victim met the man, but as they drove off, a
group of
men with weapons stopped the car. She was subsequently raped 14 times
by her
seven captors, then returned to her home in the eastern city of
Qatif, where she
kept quiet and attempted suicide.

A Saudi judge has handed down jail terms ranging from 10 months to
five years to
five of the rapists and the death penalty for the other men.

Through Saudi newspapers, the victim has begged Abdullah for
clemency, asking
him to consider her as "one of his own daughters" and spare her from
punishment.

Hi everyone, FEM07 is almost upon us and its getting exciting. I'll put
the final line up in the files section. If anyone hasnt registered yet
you need to do it asap as places are filling up fast.

Lara- are you still ok to give a bit of an introduction to
SheffieldFems? I'll be chairing the object session so I dont think that
I should do it too.

It would be really nice to meet up with people who dont make it to the

lounge afterwards?

See you soon, Sarah

Hi everyone, both Lara and I will be away this week, so can I suggest
we have a meeting next thursday at six in bar 197? There are a few
things we need to discuss so I thought I would put together an agenda.
Heres what I have so far:

1)Decide on whether to allow men at the group (there is a someone
interested in getting involved so I think we should decide sooner
rather than later.

2)Talk about having a discussion on the legalisation of prostitution
with the 'permanent revolution'. They have just published an article
online that I will post the link to.

3)Debating society is planning to have a lads mags in the union debate,
I think we should be involved, so maybe we could talk about this too
(laura, can you help us with this? you were really good last time!)

Anything else post it here and I'll put it down. It would be great if
any new members were able to come to the meeting too.

Have a nice week, Sarah
