Bol!
 (The South Asian e-list on Gender and Reproductive Health and Rights)
.
Bol, the first list of its kind in the sub-continent, is a space for
people and organizations within South Asia and outside to come together
and discuss and work on issues of gender, reproductive health and rights
and legal developments pertaining to human rights within the region.
.
Bol is a bulletin board where you can post information about activities
- conferences, workshops, rallies; and about resources - networks,
people and organizations. You can also use this list to publicize events
that would be difficult to publicize otherwise.
.
Bol is a forum to discuss problems and solutions to the task of gender
equality - you can use this network to meet other people working in
diverse disciplies online, linking you up with support and information
that would be difficult to access by traditional means. Every month, we
will have a topic of discussion which will generate from the interests
of the list.  We also publish Re/productions, an online journal for
people to present larger and ongoing works examining the issues in more
depth. The journal will also be a space to present and share research
and abstracts with a larger audience.
.
Recognizing that most public spaces within South Asia, off and
online, are dominated by the discourse of men, we ask you to be aware
that Bol! is set up as a forum where women and men can
get together and discuss issues - we therefore ask you to join only if
you think you are going to be a supportive and co-operative member of
the list.
.
This list is moderated - mails will be posted according to their
relevance.

(Bol! is part of the Global Reproductive Health Forum of the Harvard
School of Public Health. The Global Forum is set up to provide
up-to-date information from a variety of disciplines on reproductive
health issues around the world, to help users access this information
from diverse sources and to develop forums for active and democratic
discussion. It is also dedicated to helping to reverse the flow of
information generated by the North concerning the South, by helping to
widely disseminate and distribute the work of Southern researchers and
activists concerning reproductive health and rights.)
