A person who actively seeks to learn about the challenges of a person or group of people experiencing discrimination, and who works in solidarity with them to fight against oppression. 2, record 1, English, - ally
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Being an ally is not simply a matter of identity; it involves taking action. Allies can take action in a variety of ways. They can advocate for the rights of those who experience discrimination or help support their needs. They can also work actively from within social, political or economic structures to challenge and eliminate oppressive policies and practices. 2, record 1, English, - ally
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Ideally, an ally recognizes and understands their own privilege, which they can use to help those they have allied with. An ally can also experience discrimination in one area of their life, even if they have certain privileges in another. For example, an Indigenous man may experience discrimination as an Indigenous person but have certain privileges as a man. An Indigenous man can therefore be an ally to women. Similarly, a gay man can be an ally to trans people. 2, record 1, English, - ally

Être une personne alliée n'est pas simplement une question d'identité; cela implique la prise de mesures concrètes. Une personne alliée peut par exemple défendre les droits ou répondre aux besoins des personnes confrontées à de la discrimination, ou encore travailler activement au sein même des structures sociales, politiques ou économiques pour remettre en question et éliminer les politiques et les pratiques oppressives. 3, record 1, French, - personne%20alli%C3%A9e
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Idéalement, une personne alliée reconnaît et comprend le privilège dont elle bénéficie, et elle peut l'utiliser pour aider les personnes dont elle est une alliée. Une personne alliée peut aussi être confrontée à de la discrimination dans une sphère de sa vie, même si elle bénéficie de certains privilèges dans une autre sphère. Un homme autochtone peut par exemple être confronté à de la discrimination en tant que personne autochtone, mais bénéficier de certains privilèges en tant qu'homme. Ainsi, un homme autochtone peut être un allié auprès des femmes. De même, un homme gai peut être un allié auprès des personnes trans. 3, record 1, French, - personne%20alli%C3%A9e

So the first thing we must do is realize that there is precedence for a Women's International Court. The seeds of democracy in the United States were planted by the model of the Iroquois Indians’ Confederacy of Six Nations. In their model, matrilineal power was vested in the women to own the land, to confer leadership and remove it, to guard the proceedings, to make them adhere to the welfare of this whole people.

Exhibition of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. "This exhibition of 49 woven tapestries and 10 drawings demonstrates how Inuit women in Pangnirtung on Baffin Island adapted a foreign technique to their own social and artistic needs. The ancient technique of Aubusson weaving allows trained weavers to interpret drawings by local artists into stories in wool. Out of the dialogue between two media come tapestries of immaculate craftmanship which tell stories about Inuit culture past and present. As weaver Leesee Kakee states :"Some people might think these are just wallhangings but they are a part of us, our ancestors, our lives.

Although the aim of the national and international public sector is to conduct research in the general interest of the public, the perception of what exactly is the public interest is controversial. In this Monitor issue, two, both financed by the private and the public sector, endeavours are discussed : the development of anti-fertility vaccines and the Human Genome project. Although she agrees that women are in need of safe and more convenient contraceptive methods, Ute Sprenger states that anti-fertility vaccines jeopardize the health of women and make them dependent on the provider of the vaccine instead of increasing their autonomy over their own fertility. Many share this opinion, as illustrated by the recent call of more than 400 women's health groups from 40 different countries to end anti-fertility vaccine research. Whether the voice of these groups will be taken seriously is doubtful, since many scientists are likely to envisage the problems related to the vaccine only as temporarily and of a technical nature. 1, record 20, English, - anti%2Dfertility%20vaccine

Film produced in 1990 by the National Film Board. This film helps us come to terms with the murder of 14 women at an engineering school in Montreal. It deals with how these murders relate to the larger picture of male violence that confronts women on the streets and even in their own homes. The haunting images taken on the day of the massacre and in the days following set the stage for an exploration of the issues of misogyny, male violence and sexism. 1, record 21, English, - After%20the%20Montreal%20Massacre
