Job Advertisement - Lebian/Bisexual Coordinator for SANGAMA, BANGALORE

[Guest guest]

Dear Friend(s),

We wish to work closely with lesbian/bisexual women and other

women who love women in and around Bangalore. Doubly

disadvantaged as sexuality minorities and as women in a male

dominated society, they have limited access to public spaces, face

difficulties within families and are constantly pressurised to marry. We

wish to support these women in crisis situations, provide information,

help create a support system and make their concerns visible in the

women's movements and sexuality minorities' rights movements.

We are looking for a person to co-ordinate our efforts in this direction.

The person should be a lesbian/bisexual/homosexual woman or a

woman who loves women. She should be a feminist/part of the

women's movement. She should be fluent in English or Kannada.

Please send us your resume by March 15th by email/post.

You can contact us at:

Sangama, Flat 13, 3rd Floor, 'Royal Park Apartments', 34 Park Road,

Tasker Town, Bangalore - 560 051. (Behind Hotel 'Harsha', near 'Shivaji

Nagar' Bus Stand). Phone: 286 8680/286 8121
