Make love, not war
It is said that the world would not enjoy permanent peace since men were born warriors; whereas others say that there exists a mighty power to resist the eruption the war so long as women are living. Here we introduce to you a project named after Aristophane's anti-war comedyLysistrata, that is, Let's make love, not war!
有人說(shuō)，世界上只要有男人就會(huì)有戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)；也有人說(shuō)，世界上只要有女人存在，就會(huì)有遏制戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的力量……不管這些說(shuō)法正確與否，2006年婦女節(jié)，我們向您介紹國(guó)際上一個(gè)名為"莉西斯特拉忒"的工程。"Lysistrata"的名字則可追溯到古希臘時(shí)代的一部偉大的戲劇，意為"為了促使戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)早日結(jié)束，女性們對(duì)男性施行'性'罷工"…

The way to celebrate the International Women's Day
Women's Day marks the role of women in both the past and the present. However, the day is not a one-day routine. The real challenge lies in the spontaneous flow of feelings -- honoring and celebrating womanhood on a particular March 8 only to forget its importance the next day is sacrilegious.
“國(guó)際婦女節(jié)”意在凸顯女性在社會(huì)中的重要角色。我們最大的挑戰(zhàn)在于：3月8日這天，各種慶祝活動(dòng)大張旗鼓；3月8日之后，一切“絢麗”關(guān)注煙消云散…

Focus on the disadvantaged：hornor killings
Focus on the disadvantaged：female circumcision
Focus on the disadvantaged: "white ribbon" campaign
Although the prayers for peace and gender equality have been ringing in the 21th century, there pravails such customs as "hornor killings" and "female circumcision" in some other local regions. These hideous traditions are unfortunately imprinted on the victims' memories, and meanwhile, they raise the alarm to the world that women issues are far from being addressed. In 1991, a handful of men in Canada launched the "white ribbon" camaign, which communicates the instimulating sign -- men are opposed to sone other men's violence against women.
21世紀(jì)的今天，世界和平、兩性平等已經(jīng)深入到全人類最真誠(chéng)的祈禱聲中… 可是，在世界的某些角落，依然存在著種種陋習(xí)--"女子割禮"，"榮譽(yù)殺害"--愚昧的風(fēng)俗不僅僅在受害者心頭留下永遠(yuǎn)的痛，也時(shí)時(shí)提醒著已經(jīng)擁有幸福的男人和女人：我們應(yīng)該關(guān)注女性問(wèn)題，因?yàn)椋挥挟?dāng)世界上所有女人都擁有平等的權(quán)利過(guò)著快樂(lè)生活的時(shí)候，世界才真正和平。1991年由一群加拿大男性倡議發(fā)起的“白絲帶”活動(dòng)，就是關(guān)注女性、保護(hù)女性的最好例證。
