Wednesday 30 November 2011
Time: 6-7.30pm
Venue: NAB.2.14, New Academic Building
Speaker: Anne Marie Waters
Chair: Chris Moos
Anne Marie Waters explores why the Left, which has traditionally fought against religious discrimination and violation of human rights, is now promoting cultural relativism and increasingly rallying behind religious extremists who promote misogynist and homophobic practices that violate human rights, create religious apartheid and segregate communities.
Anne Marie Waters is spokesperson for the One Law for All Campaign. She campaigns against Sharia and religious Laws as she believes that the rights of women are sacrificed in the name of legal and cultural relativism. She studied law and has a strong interest in family law and human rights, and the interaction of the two. She has written various papers on the rights of women in family law and on human rights internationally.

I am not familiar with the area and I would find very frustrating to walk around the LSE building. Can we have more detailed instructions for people like me please or should I not worry?
There is a map here. The New Academic Building (NAB) is on Kingsway (Holborn Tube) at the corner of Sardinia Street. Room 2.14

Yes, it will be useful because it is not ease to get to the place otherwise. Another idea is to deliver leaflets of the meeting at the anti-cuts demo the same day, so people can go after the demo. ?is possible to ge them?
Also there is a women conference this Saturday, 26, from 11.30 to 5.30 pm at UCL, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT and one of the speaker about women and the African and Middle Easter Uprising will be about Sharia Law. Not all the left agrees with relativism to be apply to ethical and moral values, as the recent LRC agm shows .
