Text of the page (random words):
sery places leading to the serious threat of nursery closures and hardship and distress for parents workers and children the friends of hackney nurseries group fhn which successfully organised against huge cuts to nursery provision in the 1990 s and early 2000 s re formed to fight these cuts and to fight for decent affordable childcare for all in hackney the group is comprised of parents nursery workers local residents and community activists with many feminists and anarchists responding to the call to join this struggle the learning trust has denied that there will be any funding cuts to nurseries prefering to call it a reallocation of funds hackney council representatives and mayor jules pipe publicly denied any knowledge of the planned cuts admitting that the council has very little knowledge of what the learning trust does the learning trust responded to these denials by saying it had fully consulted with the council in the reallocation of funds and with nurseries too the nurseries affected have not been consulted at all nor have the parents who use the nurseries where exactly have the funds been reallocated to ask fhn we don t know say the council hackney council was stripped of its right to provide education services in 2001 following widespread criticism that the then bankrupt council was the worst education authority in the country and financially incapable of providing education services to some of the most deprived children in the uk at the direction of the secretary of state for education and skills education services in hackney were handed over to the learning trust a non profit making independent education trust set up by the government and the first body of its kind in the uk while it was the funding cuts to community nurseries and the resulting impact on the working parents who use the nurseries their children and the staff of the community nurseries that initially caused the fhn to remobilise fhn aims to be a much broader campaign hoping to improve childcare provision locally as well as improve terms and conditions for nursery workers across the borough it has since come to light that in a sector that is female dominated and traditionally under valued and under paid there are workers in learning trust run crèches that have not received holiday pay or sick pay for up to ten years these women workers have been treated as sessional workers despite working regularly and to set rotas for years on end thanks to fhn publicly raising the issues around childcare provision in the borough and its effect on workers these women have now got union representation and should receive the working terms and conditions they are entitled too and at least some of the significant amounts of money they are owed it is certain that there are lots more women working in education across hackney who are in a similar situation it is clear that with the change of government and massive cuts to public services imminent the struggle for decent free or affordable childcare provision is just heating up and not just in hackney but across the uk it is important that anarchists recognise the significant impact these cuts will have on the working class women who are primarily affected by nursery cuts and respond to these attacks accordingly the withdrawal of public funds will affect all nurseries and consequently our children s opportunities will be diminished we must organise and resist not only against these cuts but against the sexist notion of childcare as women s work and the resulting under valuing of this work under capitalism laura schwartz of fhn and feminist fightback in a call out entitled girls and boys come out to play or why the fight against nursery cuts must involve people of all genders calls on the male dominated left to take this campaign seriously and to join us today and in the future not just to defend existing and unsatisfactory public services but to fight for a better way to organise our society and our lives london anarcha feminist kolektiv would like to echo this sentiment childcare who does it and how it s organised affects us all and as anarchists we would like to work towards the collectivisation of child rearing with everyone taking responsibility for the next generation the friends of hackney nurseries meet regularly and are gearing up for a long fight all are welcome to get

comments squatters sexism and football posted on june 17 2010 by anarchafeministkolektiv an article we wrote for freedom anarchist newspaper a squatters football tournament was held on hackney marshes in london on saturday 22 nd may we were disappointed to hear about what happened on the day it appears that one of the teams who we d quite like to name and shame although our sources aren t sure of the exact miss spelling used the semi sicotix couldn t handle the idea of women playing footie their first match was against gore core fc a mixed team which included three female players and they made it clear pretty early on that they didn t believe women could or should play as the gore core team took the lead by scoring two goals against them they then moved on to aiming disparaging derogatory comments at the individual women who were daring to prove them wrong despite a near constant stream of sexist shit and an offer by the referee to end the game and declare it in their favour at half time the gore core women decided they d rather carry on playing and beating the misogynists however the macho posturing escalated into actual violence during the second half after one of the gore core players was hit in the back of the head the ref acted decisively and ended the match why should anyone else have to put up with their behaviour it s bad enough that most women we know suffer this sort of sexual harassment when they walk down the street without it happening at an event that s organised and attended by people who are supposed to be politically aware what we re left wondering is why they didn t just kick the offenders out there and then those who had suffered or just witnessed the violence and ridiculous levels of sexism were understandably horrified more so when no real support was forthcoming from the organisers of the event most of the other teams were made aware of what had happened and asked not to play against the sicotix however only one other team decided that they too would leave the scene it seems as though far too many of the assembled squatters were happy to ignore the situation look the other way and keep on drinking we expect better from our comrades we know that not all squatters punks would describe themselves as anarchists or anti fascist but that a fair few of those who were at the football tournament do one excuse given for inaction was that the trouble making team were not entirely unknown they ve already made a name for themselves by attacking other squatted parties and events and ripping people off they ve used violence in the past to get their way their kicks or just to make money we wish that our community was better at defending itself against this kind of behaviour concepts like solidarity and anti oppression start sounding a little hollow when this kind of situation goes unchallenged in the mainstream world women s sports are often side lined despite all the media attention given to games like football we often don t hear much about women s achievements for example the women s england football team made it into last september s uefa euro final coming second overall in the competition and is on course to do extremely well in the fifa women s world cup next year having won all their qualifying matches so far when women do well and prove themselves to be strong and fast and powerful male dominated organisations like the international olympic committee start casting aspersions on their gender the case of south african athlete caster semenya is an example of this there s an excellent article on the subject in the latest issue of slingshot an anarchist paper from the bay area that isn t afraid to cover subjects we don t talk about enough over here personal relationships mental health etc you can find it at http slingshot tao ca displaybi php 0103010 another new publication that we re finding interesting right now is dysophia the many worlds of green anarchism the latest issue is about anarchism and polyamory and can be downloaded from http dysophia wordpress com more themes to follow in the future include poverty privilege and immigration and climate justice anyway we have started putting these articles on our website too and would love to hear your feedback so please do visit if you d like to leave a comment or suggest topics we should cover in future we re hoping this will continue as a regular

midwives posted on may 24 2010 by anarchafeministkolektiv london anarcha feminist kolektiv has started contributing comment and articles to freedom newspaper below is our article on the closure of the albany midwifery practice welcome to the first of what will hopefully become a regular feature in freedom news and views from an anarcha feminist perspective we re aware that many of the issues we spend our time and energy discussing and taking action about don t make it into the anarchist mainstream and that unless we make the effort to share this information our struggles may remain invisible we welcome your thoughts and feedback reclaiming birth and the albany midwives the albany midwifery practice provided a free service as part of the nhs for women around peckham for over twelve years as an independent group based in the community and sub contracted by kings healthcare trust the albany midwives provided individual continuous maternity care for all kinds of women including those who are often denied proper choices by the health service working class women women from ethnic minorities those with mental and physical disabilities or with medical risks the albany midwives aimed to provide choice continuity and control for women with a philosophy that pregnancy and birth are a normal part of women s lives not a medical problem they would provide information and let women make their own decisions about their maternity care and the birth itself they believed that women deserved continuity so guaranteed access to the same pair of midwives throughout pregnancy giving them a chance to develop a mutually respectful trusting relationship with each woman before she gave birth this type of care is understandably popular with women and has been proven to result in lower rates of infant mortality lower rates of caesarian section less than half the national average and also much higher rates of home birth and breastfeeding 74 of the women using the albany decided they didn t need pain relief during labour this quality of care is rarely available on the nhs although there are some other group practices which operate in a similar way to the albany midwives in many areas women have to pay privately if they want this kind of maternity care which puts it beyond the means of most in december 2009 kings healthcare trust abruptly terminated its contract with the albany midwives without any consultation either with the midwives themselves or those who used their services or warning even for those women about to give birth in the next few weeks kings claimed that the issue was one of patient safety as earlier on in the year a baby had died one week after being delivered by the albany kings commissioned a report from the centre for maternal and child enquiries cmace they claimed that babies delivered by the albany practice at this time had higher rates of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy brain damage caused by lack of oxygen than those delivered by midwives directly employed by the trust these figures have been contested since the outset with various organisations including the national childbirth trust nct criticising the cmace reports despite requests the full reports have still not been made public although kings terminated the albany contract on the grounds of patient safety they then offered the same midwives jobs within the trust s own midwifery service all of them declined the offer the closure of the albany midwifery practice prompted a range of protests including a large very vocal very colourful march and rally in central london on sunday 7 th march the reclaiming birth march was called by the albany mums group both to protest the closure and to push for better more women centred approaches to childbirth it was supported by the nct the royal college of midwives the association of radical midwives independent midwives uk the alliance for improvement in maternity services aims and many feminist groups if kings succeed in damaging the reputation of the albany midwives this could have serious repercussions on a wider scale their model of care has long been recognised as a way of improving outcomes for mothers and babies most women in the uk don t get offered this level of choice or continuity instead they are only offered an obstetric based model of care institutionalised with high levels of medical intervention and operative deliveries the choice to birth at home is dependent on the availability of midwives and unfortunately there is a shortage of midwives those already working in the nhs are under paid and over worked and there are not enough staff to provide the quality of care women deserve let alone set up loads of small group practices like the albany centralised industrial scale obstetric care may be expedient for bureaucrats but does not allow true choice and does not equate with a satisfying safe and empowering birth experience as public services suffer more cuts our already over stretched and under resourced maternity services are in crisis and ultimately this is bad news for us all for more information on the albany midwifery practice the cmace report and the reclaiming birth march visit
