Take Back the Night 06 and more...

Take Back the Night 06 is in the
organising phase and a date has been made.
Auckland Anarcha Feminist Syndicate is bringing back the action which brought us together.
Take Back the Night (also known as Reclaim the Night) began in the 70's, when womyn took to the streets at night with candles, demanding "the right to move freely in their communities at day and night without harassment and sexual assault".
This movement spread
rapidly throughout the world and
events where being held in city after city.
Take Back the Night 06 is being held on Sat Oct 28, at 7.30pm at Aotea Sq, Auckland.
There will be a rally, march and workshops for both womyn and men.
This year AAFS is using the same
theme as last year, "Tremble Tremble, the Witches are Back". We believe that persecution of womyn throughout the centuries is washed over at this time of year (halloween) and it is so important to bring awareness to a cause which effects us all, each and every day.
More information about Take Back the Night 06 will be posted closer to
the date, and we hope to see as many
people there as possible.

Photos from Auckland, Take the The Night 05

Photos have been posted by the request of Jon and Emily, who i shared a wonderful Skype conversation with on Saturday afternoon. It was a bit crackly, and the feedback of my voice was more than distracting, but it was free none the less, and just hearing the voices of friends who are so far away is too good for complaints!
So here you cats go.... some photos like you asked.
There not all recent, some are a few months old, but i will take ALOT more just for you folk!
they are listed from newest - oldest. hope you enjoy!!

Ruth, planting a strawberry plant, which saddly got
drowned out by the week long storm which hit the
next week.


Slinky playing at new flat... she had only just started getting
used to fast moving objects, which explains the timid pose...
she used to run away so fast if any thing was moved in her face,
but now she loves her toys, she even carrys them into the room
when she wants to play. i cant wait to capture this in a photo!!
