Women's Lib Becoming International Movement
By PAM KUDA
Korean Staff Writer
University Daily Kansan
The women involved with Women's Libration at KU are more concerned with problems of humanity than they are about going without a bra or cutting down men. Their concern goes into the details of common connotations that are commonly linked with Women's Lib.
Six KU women recently traveled to Toronto, Canada to attend a conference from April 9 to 13 with about 450 other women. Guest representatives from Laos, North Vietnam, and South Korea attended the conference in Canada and the United States who were in attendance.
Some of the highlights of the conference, as told by the delegates from KU were:
The six KU delegates, who prefer to remain unidentified, described the conference at a recent meeting.
All the activities concentrated on ways to help other women, Films, speeches, workshops, discussions and question and answer sessions each day from early in the morning until late in the evening.
Students, teachers, housewives and doctors were among those who attended the convention when it opened. Women to be able to take care of
themselves without having to depend on men.
One of the guest speakers from North Vietnam was an obstetrician who was educated by a Russian school and care of their children. Supplementing her talk were slides of children whose mothers had taken their own sprays during pregnancy. The slides showed the pathetic condition of the hundreds of babies deformed because of the sprays.
A Laotian primary school teacher spoke on the living in Laos. She said she hoped that bombs stopped falling, that her son could go outside and safely play in the sun. She said most in forests or caves for protection, the anti-personnel bombs.
The Indochinese women told the American and Canadian women the struggle to end the war. The stressed patience and said not to be discouraged because it may take a long time to end the fighting.
The indochinese women spoke free with the other women. They were sometimes strengthened friendship and solidarity between all the women.
The conference was the beginning of an international Women's Liberation organization, more this time there was national organization and unify the individual groups around the country.
The Women's Coalition raised the funds for the six women who went to Toronto. A picnic with a woman helped to raise the money needed.
Literature on Women's Liberation can be found in the Women's Center located in the University's small library with papers about the history of women's liberation. The library contains females and many other topics.
Books about abortion, black women, and the problems women in society face can also be checked out.
