Human Rights Day isnt only one day. It is everyday.

We have developed a couple of small steps everyone can take to exercise our human rights to ensure human rights for all. First thing to do is sign up to read an article of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). We are partnering with Hawaii Women in Film Making to produce two videos of CEDAW so all women know their rights. The short version of CEDAW will be screened on March 19 at the premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey. Sign up at the screening. Also, if you are interested, we are making a full version of CEDAWs 30 articles, so sign up for that. We will then have the women of Hawaii sharing the International Bill of Rights for Women. It will be available as an educational tool for anyone interested. Second thing to do is contact our elected officials and let them know we are a compassionate and creative citizenry that care about human rights in our islands and in international affairs. Please contact all four members in Washington D.C. and ask them to support womens rights in the world. Encourage our two US Senators to ratify the UN CEDAW soon so we can join the rest of our allies in advocacy for gender justice. ONE campaign is also organizing a call-in to the Senate Appropriations Committee deciding on the International Affairs budget. Please call Senator Inouye to thank him for strong leadership in protecting life-saving global health programs to end poverty in previous budgets and continue his positive record. Third and final, petition the White House with We the People. Please visit the website and encourage the Obama Administration to ratify the UN CEDAW today. Website: http://wh.gov/ISy

Angelina Jolies directorial debut, set during the Bosnian War that tore the Balkan region apart in the 1990s, tells the story of two people from different sides of a brutal ethnic conflict. Danijel, a soldier fighting for the Serbs, and Ajla, a Bosnian held captive in the camp Danijel oversees, met shortly before the war started in 1992. They might have become lovers, but as the armed conflict takes hold of their lives, their relationship grows darker, their motives and connection to one another ambiguous, and their allegiances uncertain.
