Dear Friends,
	Feminist International Radio Endeavor (FIRE) and
Technomama/Foundation for a Compassionate Society are organizing
a panel on women and media to take place during the NGO Forum at
the European-North American regional PrepCom this October 13-15
in Vienna.
	Called RAISING OUR VOICES: Feminist Communication
Strategies, panelists will recommend strategies toward the year
2000, based on their diverse experiences in the decade since Nairobi.
	We hope the panel will highlight the diversity, creativity, and
successes of women's communication strategies in challenging the
globalization and multinational control of media, and ongoing male
domination. Key topics include: strengths and weaknesses of
alternative and mainstream media as tools for activism; equality of
access to technologies, training, and decision-making; and media and
sustainable human development.
	It will also be an opportunity for all of us gathered in Vienna
who are interested in media issues to organize for China and focus
our strategic priorities regarding media in the final conference
document.
	We invite panelists and audience members to bring papers and
declarations on media from their local, regional, and international
work for distribution.
	In addition to the panel, FIRE and Technomama will be
coordinating a live broadcast for the three days of the NGO Forum
(like FIRE's daily broadcast from the World Conference on Human
Rights last year in Vienna). EVERYONE IS INVITED TO
PARTICIPATE!!!
	Please let us know ASAP if you are planning to attend the
Vienna Prepcom. Looking forward to seeing you there,
