In 1989 an inter-disciplinary research group called GREC (Gender, Race, Ethnic group, Class) was formed in the Arts Faculty. Trough all this time, this group has developed academic activities inside the frame of its name: to work and study the identities and differences, mainly, from the women´s point of view for them being acceptable and visible. Trough courses, publications, conferences cycles and other alternatives, the GREC has worked and works from different disciplines and studies with the aim of freedom for the diverse and multiples feminine identities.
For this reason, the GREC, so far a research group of students and teachers and other statements with concrete components, wants to open it to the society and to be a new place for the encounter of women in this territory.
With these goals to reach: feminine identities being visible, accepted and treated with non discriminatory conditions in all levels, because to be equals does not mean identical; feminine identities present in all ambits and estates of decision, free on their approaches and definitions and valuing their contributions and cultures. We want to create a network of action and participation of women in our territory.
From the GREC, we want to open and to act to reach those goals, to do so we need to be many, diverse and coordinated. Our idea about GREC world-network is open to women simply interested on living in feminine without problems, young women very interested on day life problems in all aspects: studies, jobs, economy, health, culture, sexual options, city or country, communication media. We really want to create a network to promote a space of information, dialogue, participation and interchange.
In this way, if you are interested in participate and/or to know more things about our proposal, please write us. Also it can be you already are in some association or movement, if so, we appreciate you give us the contact person of your group, association, federation or movement to increase our network of action and participation. We are really convinced that to build a free and fair society is a matter of all. A matter of all initiatives, which want to correct and change discriminatory, unfair and unacceptable structures and situations.
