Announcing the creation of a home page for
ONA, an independent women's NGO in the city of Tver,
about 160km north-west of Moscow.
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2533/ona.html
At present, these pages include an annual report of ONA activities for
1997, and a list of members. More materials will be added in the future.
The information is presented in Russian and English.
ONA stands for "Obshchestvo Nezavisimykh Aktivistok", or "Society of
Independent Women Activists". The word "ona" means "she" in Russian.
The group was formed in late 1995, it has a feminist perspective, and a
wide range of activities - ONA has lobbied for legislative change on
pornography and family law; organized women's art exhibitions, poetry
readings and medical/psychological lectures for women; published articles
in local papers about women's history in the Tver Region. In early March
each year they organize a week of women's cultural and educational events
to celebrate Women's Day.
ONA has an office at the Tver Booklovers Society premises, and club
meetings are held there each Tuesday night, in a friendly, non-hierarchical
atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the group has no access to email or the wider Internet - but
they welcome contact by phone or post with other women's groups.
