Frauen mit Füßen treten?

Sexistische Werbung stellt Wirksamkeit von freiwilligen Selbstverpflichtungen des Werbesektors in Frage

Serviervorschlag?

Das Fraueninformationszentrum  Cid-femmes hat diese Woche bei der “Commission luxembourgeoise pour l’éthique en publicité (CLEP)” Beschwerde gegen die sexistische Werbung der Firma Decorzenter Geimer SA eingelegt.
Die CLEP wird aufgefordert, sich im Rahmen ihrer Kontroll- und Aufsichtsverpflichtung dafür einzusetzen, dass diese diskriminierende Werbung umgehend abgesetzt wird. Gleichzeitig verlangt das Cid-femmes von der CLEP bei der Auftrag gebenden Firma sowie beim Point 24 auf die Einhaltung deontologischer Kriterien zu drängen. Eine Beschwerde, die das Cid-femmes direkt an die Firma richtete, blieb bislang ohne Reaktion.
Der Fall stellt erneut die Wirksamkeit freiwilliger Selbstverpflichtungen des Werbe- und Mediensektors in Frage.

Turkey: an LGBT organisation faces closure

The logo of the group commemorates the badge LGBTs were forced to wear in Nazi Genocide Camps

Black Pink Triangle Association in Izmir is the fifth LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) organization that faces closure threat from the Turkish government. The first hearing will take place on February 9, 2010. The reason for closure threat is once again being “against the law and morality.”

The association members stated that: “The prosecutor’s demand for closure of our association is clearly a violation of civil rights. Establishing an organization is a constitutional right and they want to take that right from us.”

The legalized slavery

Português l English

Com o número cada vez maior de desempregados e vãs promessas de um currículo impressionante, cada vez mais organizações que se dizem defensoras dos direitos humanos e não só, se esquecem de cumprir os direitos económicos de uma grande parte da população: os jovens qualificados em busca de emprego.

Os estágios não remunerados parecem ter vindo para ficar! Este mercado parece disseminar-se e fazer-se sentir sobretudo na área das ciências sociais e humanidades, área que os jovens se devem sentir tão agradecidos por ser empregues que até trabalham de graça.

With the increasing number of unemployed and empty promises of an impressive resume, more and more organizations that call themselves defenders of human rights  forget to meet the economic rights of a large population: qualified young people in search of employment.


The unpaid internships seem to have come to stay! This market seems to spread and be felt mainly in the social sciences and humanities, an area that young people should feel so grateful to be employed that they should work for free.
