I had made two visits to the Gender Links offices (www.genderlinks.org.za) for preliminary interviews, chiefly about its ambitious plan for a first-ever summit on local government and women's issues in Southern Africa. This summit was originally supposed to start on March 8, International Women's Day, but was pushed back to Human Rights Day -- the same time as the Art and Social Justice conference. On Tuesday, March 22, I had a commitment from WomensENews to publish a piece, so flew back up to Johannesburg from Durban to cover this conference.
Here's a link to my piece on it, which ran March 28, 2010:
