Brief notes of our first meeting on 18 January
It was really well attended for a first meeting with avis from at least six different countries which gave it a truly international feel.
We spent some time learning a little about each other and our varied interests followed by a discussion about possible future activities for the group.
The discussion covered:-
- Links with other groups and sims eg Gender Square
- Joining in with activities planned for International Women’s Day on March 6th
- Exploring the possibiltity of forming a NOW group in SL
- Generating support for the first virtual international women’s conference in SL
- The need to combine discussion with action
- The bridge between SL and RL
- Generating a list of interesting topics for future discussion
It was felt that discussions should be supported by for example a speaker, article, web link, published research, movie, book or YouTube clip and where possible generate a form of action within SL.
The topic for discussion at the second meeting on Sunday 25th January at 12 pm (noon) SLT is :-
‘Virtual rape: fact or fantasy?’
This could be followed up by planning some activity at a rape enactment or sex slave market sim.
The following links will form a basis for the discussion.
