General Information
Marea is a non profit cultural and feminist association incorporated in Genoa in 1995 and formed by seven voluntary members and several collaborators. The budgetary resources available every year depend on the projects launched; from 1995 to 2007 we obtained from 2000 € to 30000 € from Local Public Authorities, Department of Equal Opportunities and private donors. Marea publishes a quarterly review, called MAREA, web site www.mareaonline.it and organizes several public debates, seminaries, workshops on gender issues. In recent years Marea cooperated with many partners: International Network of Women in Black and Wluml (women living under muslim laws), Hawca (Afghanistan), Rant (USA) and Awakened Women (USA).
Mission and Objectives

Through the quarterly review and other projects (video, tv productions in cooperation with satellitar tv Arcoiris, cd-rom) Marea wants to circulate feminist and gender issues and in particular to share knowledge and resources on women rights, feminism history and culture with young generations and migrant women. In 2007 Marea is going to publish a new cd-rom called “Tutte in rete” with a wide selection of the main gender oriented websites divided according to different subject-matters.

Main Projects / Activities

Marea would like to work out a new feminist web radio project (starting with a course for women radio journalists and speakers) and a web site with news and reportages on political, social, cultural issues focussing on women living in the Mediterranean area and in the rest of the world. Marea will work on the issue of secularism at the European Feminist Forum which will be held in 2008 and will organize an international meeting in Italy inviting the writer Irshad Manji from Canada, who is an activist against fundamentalism.
