-Gay sex decriminalised in India
2/7/09
The Safra Project wishes to congratulate the hard work of our sisters, brothers and those in between in India and the disaspora. Finally the left over homophobic British law in penal code 377 has been sent into history on this historic day. Homosexual intercourse between consenting adults is no longer a criminal act.

-Support Sisters In Islam
19/6/09News item: Sisters In Islam
Networking colleagues in Malaysia at Sisters In Islam (SIS)- a group of Muslim women committed to promoting the rights of women within the framework of Islam, are being threatened with investigation from Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) to have SIS banned and its members 'rehabilitated' should its activities be determined to be contrary to the Islamic Shariah.

SIS have previously supported many Muslim women's and human rights organisations with expertise and literature. There is an online petition SIS is promoting to retract the call for action against it and reaching a resolution through constructive engagement.
