Today is Wednesday the 11th of March 2009. Three days after the memorable IWD 2009. The community is still very buzzed about it. Everytime two FC members meet they still talk about either the event itself or the reactions to it.
The staff and participants did a great job putting up resources (pictures, videos and articles). If you want to check pictures please check:
- the FC website: Women's Day Sit-In
- But also the facebook pictures page. And if you have a facebook page take this chance to join the FC facebook page ;)
In the last two days our resident filmmaker Chantal edited a lot of short movies that she uploaded to the YouTube Channel that she created also. For now, we have four interesting videos:
- Solidarity with Migrant Workers' sit in:
- A man's opinion about women's rights:
- A compilation of the different teams' work in Beirut and beyond:
- And finally the Sit-in, which is not exactly IWD but the FC had participated in it also:
Now as for Press Coverage, the FC has been mentioned, so far, in:
