As an addition
to our website project work, we are now starting something new: reports,
analyses and statements from women activists and experts available
in pdf format for easy downloading. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
Available on-line now: Satomi Oba, Jean Grossholtz. Both women
have been supportive and active members of the Women and Life on Earth
international advisory board since 1999. Satomi Oba passed away suddenly
in late February 2005, a great loss. See our report:

The
Cotton Campaign (download here, 8 pages)
"The piece
gives something of the political history of cotton from wild
plant to industrial commodity. It goes without saying that all
our work targets the residual effects of European colonization.
These in turn are amplified by the current global neo-liberal
regime, and its patriarchal capitalist financial institutions
- the World Bank and World Trade Organization (WTO). In the
U.S. and European Union cotton is a small part of economic activity.
But in West Africa it is critical."
