We have chosen a film which is related to our women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rights theme for November, and this will look at \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgendercide\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. This term has come about following the recognition of the fact that many newborn girls are killed simply because they are girls. The film looks at this across different countries speaking to families who have both killed their own daughters and had their daughters killed.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the content of the film, please email us at mail@guamnesty.org.uk but here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the trailer: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ISme5-9orR0\" rel=\"shadowbox[sbpost-1819];player=swf;width=640;height=385;\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ISme5-9orR0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Map for St. Andrew\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Building: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gla.ac.uk\/media\/media_26876_en.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\">http:\/\/www.gla.ac.uk\/media\/media_26876_en.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"DecemberaEs_Fundraiser_Carol_Singing\">December\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Fundraiser: Carol Singing!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Our Fundraising Officer, Maisie, was collecting the contact details for anyone wanting to join the carol singing group for our final fundraiser of\u00c2\u00a0 the year. We have done this in previous years and it has been a huge success and great fun! We sang outside Hillhead subway for just over an hour and managed to raise quite a bit of money before heading for a well-earned hot chocolate, so I think this would be the plan for this year.<\/p>\n<p>If you weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t at the meeting on Tuesday and want to get involved, here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/465030530271960\/?previousaction=join&amp;source=1\">event page<\/a>.

We are looking to have it in a pub but as always there will be no emphasis on drinking or staying out late. If you are more interested in human rights and less interested in socialising, there will be still be an action to do. Amnesty usually have a Christmas card appeal where we send Christmas cards to people who are in prison, to the families of those who have \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgone missing\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, to people who are awaiting investigations into human rights abuses that have taken place but fail to be acknowledged and others too, so this is something we feel is important to do.<\/p>\n<p>So please come along, even if you are only free for an hour or so and then I can also wish you a Happy Christmas in person \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Other_Events\">Other Events<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>2<sup>nd<\/sup> December \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 6<sup>th<\/sup> December: Medics Against Violence Campaign Week &#8211; Ask Listen &amp;Respect Me<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/228039520690031\"><b>Event page for the campaign week with relevant news articles and reposts being posted each day.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1410819055821606\"><b>Event page for the film screening and discussion (Wednesday 4<sup>th<\/sup> December, 7pm, room tbc).<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcMedics against Violence are working alongside Police Scotland, and the Violence Reduction Unit and are campaigning to raise awareness of sexual violence.
