FORTHCOMING RELEASE
The great climate robbery 
how the food system drives climate change and what we can do about it
This timely anthology by the international NGO Grain shows how food sovereignty is critical to any lasting and just solution to climate change. With governments, particularly those from the main polluting countries, abdicating their responsibility to deal with the problem, it has become ever more critical for people to take action into their own hands. Changing the food system is perhaps the most important and effective place to start.
BOOK LAUNCH
Professor Karen Healy launched Penny Mackieson's Adoption Deception at the Australian Association of Social Worker's Symposium held on November 28 in Sydney.
Adoption Deception: A personal and professional journey is a passionate, heart-wrenching and unflinchingly honest account of one woman’s life as an adopted person and her campaign for change.
BOOK REVIEW

‘Fish-Hair Woman’ on stage as poetic as the novel
The De La Salle University (DLSU) Harlequin Theatre Guild’s adaptation of Merlinda Bobis’ Fish-Hair Woman, which had its second restaging since it was first showcased in March, proved to be just as poetic as the novel. — Inquirer.net

khulud khamis, the author of Haifa Fragments is one of the initiators of a new website, Tusukteesh (Arabic for “don’t remain silent”).
“The initiative started as a way to break the silence that exists in Arab society,” says Khulud, “We believe that Arab women today have no safe space in which to share their experiences, and Tuskutish provides that space. Now a woman can tell her personal story while maintaing anonymity.”
