<span style="font-size:12pt;"><font face="Calibri">We are pleased to inform you about our conference on 12 – 13 November 2011, in Istanbul, Turkey, on <i>Women’s Burden between Paid and Unpaid Labour</i>.<br><br></font></span></div>
<div style="font-size:16px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font face="Calibri">This event is organized by our independent feminist organisation <i>Socialist Feminist Collective (SFC)</i>, which has branch offices in Istanbul and four other cities in Turkey . The ultimate goal of SFC is “to struggle for a society where there is no paid-unpaid labour antagonism; where work and care work is shared between men and women equally; where female sexuality is not determined by men’s needs and women’s reproductive capacity”. Detailed information about SFC can be found on our website: </font></span></div>

<div style="font-size:16px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font face="Calibri">Starting from 2011, the SFC has started to run another campaign titled “We want back our due from men.” We expect the conference to make an important contribution to our campaign. Please see the Appendix 2 for the details of the campaign.</font></span></div>
