Regional - SaskatchewanNewsTwo Photo Exhibits Expose Women's PovertyFebruary 18, 2007 - 5:58pm
Across the country there are two projects involving low income women taking photographs of their lives. In Saskatchewan a group of First Nations women are photographing what they see everyday as part of a project called The Marginalization of Indigenous Women. In New Brunswick, a group of low income women were asked to take photos of their joys and frustrations. Some of photos were of a electricity bill, a fridge door or a luxury cruise ship docked in the harbour. Read more about these two photo exhibits on CBC: "First Nations women use 'photo voice' to tell stories," and "Saint John display exhibits the power of poverty."

City short on housing services for womenJuly 6, 2006 - 11:00pm
A women's activist group in Regina has been trying to get a transition housing shelter for women established. The director of this group says that although Regina does have some battered women's shelters, not all women who require temporary housing qualify. Other shelter resources are not directed to the needs of homeless women. However, despite her efforts to funding, her proposals have always been rejected because it wasn't believed that a shelter like the one proposed would help combat homelessness to a large degree. For more information read the Leader-Post's article on the subject. ( categories: News | Saskatchewan | Housing | Women )
