24 January, Ciudad Colon, Costa Rica 

Feminist International Radio Endeavour/FIRE will broadcast live from Caracas the International Court of Women Against Patriarchal Violence on 27 January in connection with the VI Polycentric World Social Forum 2006.

The aim of the Court is to publicly denounce ?the implicit violence in all the different civilizations and in the globalized culture of capital profit and power? (Corinne Kumar, Organización ?El Taller Internacional? ).

Through testimonies from the anonymity and commonness, women have been building multiple strategies to conform a resistance culture. Voices will feature the violence against women in wars, femicide, new forms of exploitation and exclusion catapulted by the globalization, among others. When the testimonies are completed an International Jury will inform its considerations about the cases exposed.

The following panels will also be included in this Court: - The Women?s Courts:  

Resistance and struggle in the search of new dignity and justice for the human race.

The woman in the excluding civilization, patriarchal and predatory neoliberal globalization

The system of the multiple dominant capital. Towards an articulation of the emancipative and freer practices, basic to the socio-political alternatives against the neoliberal globalization.
