Women in the Arts

Anna reports on Women in the Arts–a showcase of performances and art created by St Andrews women as well as a way to fiscally support women in high conflict zones

Women for Women–an international charity which raises funds for women in conflict zones around the world, as well as encouraging women to support each other on a local level–are putting on their annual showcase of the arts this Thursday. The event, Women in the Arts, will showcase the talents of the performers as well as the art created in Women for Women and Capture Collective’s last Drink and Draw event.

100% of the money raised will go to funding year-long programs which teach women in conflict zones hard marketable job skills­–such as tailoring, bread making, and business skills. These women will also have access to learning soft skills including money management and practical health knowledge.

Tickets are £5 for non-members and £4 for members, a small contribution to helping women from vastly different circumstances to most of us. The Showcase will include 14 acts planned and performed by women in St Andrews including: Acapella, poetry, a folk group, a string quartet, the Blue Angels dance team, a Tai Chi performance with a sword, and an act from Spring Awakening–this year’s musical put on by the Just So Society. Previews of the acts can be found on Women for Women St Andrews Facebook page, as well as the FIXR link to the event.

Women in the Arts will take place this Thursday, March 12th, at 19:00 in the Union’s 601. The goal of the event goes beyond supporting friends and classmates, it is part of an ongoing effort to aid women around the world who still have to fight for their basic civil rights. These women, not unlike us or our sisters and friends, are unseen and unheard. Women for Women International are trying to bring awareness to the fact that women are marginalized by policies written without consideration for them. In 2019, zero UN-led peace agreements contained provisions for women, while there are 264 million women living in conflict affected countries. 70% of those women have experienced violence, and their needs are not being addressed by the policies in place.

While these statistics seem far away from our day to day lives, we can do something to help by just supporting women in our university community. By buying a ticket to Women in the Arts, everyone here can help to make the millions of women who are unseen seen. By supporting women in our community, we can express our desire to help women who are living in countries which do not care about them. We can prioritize ending violence against women by simply enjoying an evening celebrating interesting and dynamic expressions of art. By buying a ticket, we can invest in and for women’s economic power.

Women in the Arts promises to be an evening of celebrating the collaboration of art and women as well as an opportunity to do something to help change a worldwide disparity which has existed for far too long.

    Flirt.com is a scam
    Hi all, got scammed by this website. Saw that there were a couple of post informing about this but just wanted to give more details
    Paid for the three day offer and with the confirmation of the subscription, got two mails from hornycontacts.com and loveaholics.com asking me to confirm my email. Didn’t pay attention and deleted them.
    I immediately canceled the subscription in flirt.com without any issue and on the last day it changed to a standard membership so since it was bs site, cancelled the account as well.
    So I was happy and watching a movie when I got an sms from my card provider telling me that I got a 71.78 euros charge from fry frtlsp.com. Never heard of them, so I called my card provider and cancelled my card and will request the return of the money as well.
    Then I realized that maybe these two websites also by some miracle signed me up to a paid subscription… so I logged in… had to recover the passwords because they were not the one I used in flirt.com… and surprise, loveaholics.com did signed me up for a paid subscription without me being aware (pretty sure that somewhere during the signing process in flirt there was something checked and didn’t pay attention.). So I had to cancel subscription and account in these two other sites.
    So, sorry for the long post but in summary…. do not use flirt.com at all!!!
    Yes, FLIRT.COM it is a scamming website. It sign you on multiple websites like askme4date.com . It bombard you with emails that you receive messages, and you need to pay to see them. After you pay you see the messages. All messages are from BOTS. No real person.
    It’s subscribing to automatic renewal and it’s hard to cancel renewal. They push you to a complicated scheme. I’m not even sure the renewal canceling works. After
