>The Kartini Network for Women's/Gender Studies in Asia was formally
>established in Manila in May 2003 after two years of preparation. Kartini,
>named after the Indonesian pioneering feminist writer and activist, aims
>to create synergy between women's/gender studies and feminist activism in
>the region. Kartini members are women's/gender studies centres or
>institutes and feminist organizations in Asia and elsewhere. A major
>objective of the Kartini network is to enhance the knowledge base to
>increase women's capability for organizing for gender justice. Kartini
>will strive to make Asian women's voices better heard in processes of
>nation-building and socio-economic development. The network also aims to
>incorporate women' s rights in cultural and religious institutions and
>movements.
>
>Kartini members have identified five major themes of particular interest
>to the Asian region. These themes will also be the topics for the First
>Kartini Network Conference in Dalian. In addition to the conference
>Kartini members are engaged in particular research topics on the themes
>identified. Tailor-made advanced training courses will be organized both
>in research methodologies and in women's theories around these themes. The
>approach of Kartini research and activism is cross-cultural and
>comparative within the Asian context, incorporating both empirical work
>and theoretical reflection.
>
>At present the Kartini Network consists of thirteen member institutes,
>both academic centres or institutes for women's/gender studies and
>activist women's organizations, as well as founding members. Several other
>member institutes are in the process of joining the network. It is co
>ordinated by an elected steering committee that is regionally based. This
>committee is chaired by two co coordinators. Present co-coordinators of
>the Kartini Network are Dr MaryJohn Mananzan, Institute of Women's
>Studies, Manila, the Philippines and Dr Saskia E. Wieringa, University of
