A WGS Quarterly Publication

Dear (Re)Collection: A WGS Newsletter Readers:

On February 27 to March 2, 2009, Women for Genuine Security and the women of the International Women’s Peace Network in the Asia-Pacific participated in the national organizing conference at American University, “Security Without Empire.” WGS was joined by our collaborators in Guam, Hawaii, Japan, Korea, Okinawa, and Puerto Rico. Our sisters from the Philippines were missed.

Contributions in this newsletter include reflection pieces and speeches by those who participated from Hawaii, San Francisco, and Guam. We are also proud to have another Insight Interview present in this collection that delves into Amerasian experiences through perspective of Ikehara Eriko. And we hope that our readers will enjoy our more visual components that include photos of the vigil and opening ceremony from the national conference and the anti-military fashion show.

We want to thank all of our contributors and invite our readers to join us in this continued journey.
