WILPF officers speak about
United Nations conference
by Jerry Garner
Fast Wednesday, I dith Ballantyne,
Secretary-General o f the W omen's
International I eague fo r Peace and
Freedom (W II PL) spoke at Portland
State U niversity campus about the
U .N . Women's Conference that was
field in Nairobi, Kenya.
Ballantyne said the following facts
were revealed during the conference:
Women do almost all o f the domestic
work in the world; women grow hall
o f the w o rld ’ s lood supply; women
make up h a lf o f the o ffic ia l w orld
labor force and are concentrated in
the lowest occupations; women are un
employed more than men, and women
provide more health care than the
health services combined worldwide.
A nother interesting observation
made at the conference was that with
«mt peace and stability, there can be no
development in the world Peace w ill
not be lasting w ith o u t equality. In
equality should be elim inated at all
I' vels, between men and women, be
tween the haves and the have nols,
w ithin countries and between coun
tries I his was the first tune that such
language appeared in a United Nation
document, said Ballantyne.
Ballantyne said that women made
some achievements between 1975
and 1980, but conditions o f women
deteriorated considerably Iro in 1980
to 198' In tact, the conference stated
that the U N Decade to r Women
could also be named the U.N Decade
ol Recession and Crisis.
It was decided in October fo r the
conference to meet again in the year
2111) to see it the goals ol women have
been met. A document entitled / or-
ward Z nnkiny Slraleyies In the Year
2000 was adopted by concensus vote
at the U .N women's conference. Bal
lanlvne said they also voted to put in
resolution a paragraph calling fo r
sanctions against South A fric a I he
United Stales was the only country
that vetoed the resolution. I tie United
States also said tliat it the word Zion
ist wasn't taken out ol the document,
they w ould have vetoed the whole
measure. This demand was met and
the document was adopted on co n
census.
Ballantyne says the document
should be looked at very carefully to
develop a plan in order to reach their
goals by I tic year 2000 I he document
contains some 370 paragraphs. Ballan
tyne said i f the w orld is going to be
saved, women have got to do it.
When asked how other countries
reacted to the United States Delegates
Conference, she replied that the U S.
delegation was very isolated, it was
so obvious that the United States was
completely out o f step with the rest o f
the world The U.S delegation came
to Nairobi feeling they had this money
clout because the Kenya government
was dependent on the U nited States
lor contributions. Ihey had the H eri
tage Foundation Document with them
to explain what to do if the United
States didn't get their way. Ballantyne
slated, ''I think that alter they got to
N airobi, Ihey soon found out that
things w o u ld n 't go their way. " T h e
United States just stuck on that one
paragraph about South A fric a but
ihey d id n 't walk out like they threat
ened."
There were about 2,000 U.S. women
in the forum o f which 2tX) were Black
The Black women circulated a state
ment on what their position was as
Black American women The women
collected about a thousand signatures
for their position papers, but couldn’ t
get a single U.S. delegate to receive the
paper. The U nited States w o u ld n 't
touch it and it didn't get into the con
ference I he women did get press
conferences and were written about in
the local papers and the wire service
I he U.S. women ill Nairobi d idn't
consider the U.S delegation as their
representatives “ I think it was a pity
that the United States was represented
bv a delegation headed bv Maureen
Reagan," said Ballantyne. “ She be
tiaved obnoxiously, she was very rude,
it was really a pitv ”

Demonstration planned
for U.S.-Soviet game
Those attending the U.S. Olympic-
Russian volleyball game on Wednes
day, ( k t . 21, 1985. 7 :3 0 p .m ., at Me
morial Coliseum w ill have the oppor
tunity to do more than watch an ath
letic event. Members o f the W orld
Jewry Task Force o f the Jewish Fed
eration o f Portland plan on distrib u t
ing literature calling for "F air Play for
Soviet Jew s" outside the coliseum
prior to game time.
The task force is taking the action
to call attention to the unfair and dis
crim in a to ry treatm ent accorded to
Jews in Russia Individuals attending
the game w ill be asked to encourage
President Reagan to place the plight
o f the Soviet Jews high on the agenda
o f the Geneva summit scheduled for
November 19th
A rnie Westerman, one o f the
spokespersons fo r the W orld Jewry
Task Force stressed that "T his is not a
protest — rather, we welcome the So
viet athletes, and the spirit o f sports
manship and la ir play the volleyball
game represents. We o n ly ask that
Soviet Jews be accorded the same
fair treatment."
Jews in the Soviet Union today face
increasing harassment and persecu
tion by their government Arrests,
trials and im prisonm ent ot Jewish
religious and Hebrew-language ac
tivists have increased m arkedly in
the last year State sponsored media
attacks on Jews, Judaism, and Z io n
ism have grown Immigration from the
Soviet U n io n has decreased from a
high o f 51,320 in 1979, to just 896 in
1984 We are witnessing a deliberate
Soviet policy to bring about Die grad
ual disappearance o f 15 percent o f
world Jewry, or more than two million
Jews.
American pressure tias been success
