#16-98 THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT and the \Ci!~'
CAUCUS FOR GENDER JUSTICE Part I Time: 28:55
International Women's Roundtable with members of the Women's Caucus for
Gender Justice, which is lobbying the United Nations to infuse a proposed new institution,
the International Criminal Court (ICC), with concern for gender issues, as promised at
previous conferences such as the World Conference on Human Rights (Vienna) and the 4th
World Conference on Women (Beijing). Caucus members tell what are the women's issues
around the court and give examples of how such a court could impact women. They call for
listeners to contact their countries' foreign offices about the treaty before the ICC
conference in June and July in Rome.
Executive producer of Intenational Women's Roundtable series: Linda Hawken
Israel; WINGS program producer, Frieda Werden; moderator, Lena Yacoumopoulou.
Contact information for the Caucus for Gender Justice, as given in the
program: iccwomen@igc.org

# i1-98 THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT and the
CAUCUS FOR GENDER JUSTICE Part II
Continuation focuses on what are the most controversial issues in the ICC
documents relating to women, and what have been the member states' and delegates'
responses. Caucus members point out that compliance with previous commitments on
women is not being taken as seriously as it needs to be, allowing the Vatican and other
opponents to make headway . Pressure from women in the delegates' home countries has
proven effective.
Participants in the two-part roundtable: Aida Facio and Ana Elena Obando, of
Costa Rica; Rhonda CopeIon, Katherine Hall Martinez, and Donna Axel of New
York; Valerie Oosterveld from Canada; Cristina Gates from the Philippines;
Eleonora Zlellnska from Poland; and Angela Agoawike from Nigeria.

(For our subscribers in pledge drive, there's a cutaway point at 24:12 with the outcue "I'm Mary

The Lambi (pronounced LAHM-bee) Fund was created in 1993-94, during

purpose is to funds grassroots organizations building economic self-sufficiency in
rural areas of this poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. The name lambi
refers to the conch shell, blown to mobilize African slaves against the French. In
resistance against the French-speaking elite today, Lambi works solely in Creole,
the majority language.
This program, recorded by Sue Supriano and edited by Mary O'Grady,
consists an interview and a public presentation by Josette Perard and Kati
Maternowska, who head the Haitian and·U.S. offices of Lambi. Perard speaks

#41-98 WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN U.S. PRISONS
Time: 28:52
Whitney Brown is with the Women's Rights Division of Human Rights
Watch. Their 4-year study reveals many human rights abuses of women in U.S.
prisons, including widespread sexual exploitation and rape. The findings have
been followed up by the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women,
and (in the case of Michigan) by the U.S. Attorney General's Office. Brown says
international treaties ratified by the U.S. specify that deprivation of liberty is the
punishment for prisoners and stripping them of dignity as further punishment is
not allowed. Sue Supriano interviewed Brown in September 1998 at a conference
titled "Critical Resistance: Beyond the Prison Industrial Complex," at the
University of California at Berkeley. [More audio from the conference is posted
on the web site www.prisonactivist.org.]

change.

Program One: WHEN ABORTION WAS ILLEGAL Time: 27:28
Women speak frankly - some for the first time - about their experiences obtaining illegal
abortions. Doctors and other healthcare workers discuss the tragedies they saw and their
sense of being caught between their medical duty and the law.
Incue: "I was 17 years old ... "
Outcue: cc •• . more than 100 individuals. "
Programs Two & Three: FROM DANGER TO DIGNITY
To oppose the illegality of abortions, some activists provided abortion services ; some,
including ministers and rabbis, counseled women on where to find abortions although
that too was against the law; some activists, doctors and legislators, fought to change the
laws, state by state; and some took cases to the courts.

Programs Four & Five: THE FRAGILE PROMISE OF CHOICE
" oO
In the years since abortion was legalized across the United States by the Supreme Court,
anti-abortion activity has steadily reduced the availability of legal abortions - through
funding cuts, restrictive legislation, harassment, and outright terrorism including murders
and arsons. Doctors and clinic workers risk their lives to keep abortions available;
medical students defy administrators to learn the procedures; and, meanwhile, selfinduced
abortion attempts are on the rise again.
