I would suggest that you show a link to the magazine Achilles Heel
magazine, which has been working for the anti-sexist men's movement
since 1978. The website is www.stejonda.demon.co.uk. My own book -
Healing the Male Psyche - is linked from there.

the globe.

Hello -
Over the last few months I have been working on an international
grass roots organizing project in cyberspace which will hopefully
have some important real world implications.
I have been collaborating with Robert Markey, a tireless and
experienced activist who founded "Witness to Violence" to address
issues of violence against women.
We are targeting the sex trafficking of women and girls from Nepal
to the brothels of India as well as rape and sexual harassment of
women tourists by tour guides in Nepal, and have created a web site
as a resource on these issues. We welcome comments, ideas and
suggestions.
