Women's Voices, Women Speak

September 22, 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Moore 319 (Tokioka Room)

In June 2017, members of the O芒鈧劉ahu-based grassroots organization Women芒鈧劉s Voices, Women Speak attended the International Women芒鈧劉s Network Against Militarism Conference in Naha, Okinawa. Hosted by the group Okinawan Women Against Military Violence, we visited many contested sites (Camp Schwab, Henoko/Oura Bay) and public memorial sites, for Irei no Hi (lives lost in the Battle of Okinawa) and Rina Shimabukuro (raped and murdered by a former US Marine in 2016). In this presentation we will share some of our reflections on colonial violence and women-led healing.
