Do you ever feel like society isn’t exactly what it should be? Are you tired of certain aspects of it? Do you just feel like cursing and smashing the patriarchy?
This open-mic event offers an opportunity to sound off about patriarchy, politics, inequality and injustice. Participants are free to do this through sharing their personal stories, rhymes, general rants or any other means of expression. All languages welcome. Free entry.
The night is moderated by the feminists Silja and Viima the who will also swear at the patriarchy. They oversee an event concept refined by the Finnish feminist think tank Hattu.

Föstudaginn 17. janúar 2020 kl 19:00 verður fyrsta æfing annarinnar í femínískri sálfsvörn haldin í íþróttasal Háskóla Íslands.
Salurinn er aðgengilegur hjólastólum.
//NÁNARI UPPLÝSINGAR UM AÐGENGI KOMA INN 16. JANÚAR//
Allar konur velkomnar sem og allt trans fólk (skráning í H.Í. er ekki skilyrði).
Æfingarnar eru lokaðar sís-karlmönnum.*
(*Sís-karlmaður er karl sem var úthlutað kyninu “strákur” við fæðingu, upplifir sig sem slíkan og er sáttur við það.)
UM ÆFIGNARNAR:
Femíníska sjálfsvörnin sem verður æfð er í anda Seito Boei aðferðarinnar og felur í sér líkamlega, munnlega, sálræna og tilfinningalega sjálfsvörn.
Æfingahópurinn hittist á hverjum föstudegi.
Annan hvern föstudag hittist æfingarhópurinn í íþróttahúsinu og æfir líkamlega sjálfsvörn. Föstudagana þar á milli hittist hópurinn í öruggara rými á háskólasvæðinu og æfir munnlega, sálræna og tilfinningalega sjálfsvörn.
UM FEMÍNÍSKA SJÁLFSVÖRN:
Femínísk sjálfsvörn sker sig frá ‘venjulegum’ námskeiðum í sjálfsvörn að því leyti að hún fylgir ákveðnum femínískum gildum og markmið hennar mótast út frá þeim. Meðal markmiða femínískrar sjálfsvarnar er að:
– Hugsa gagnrýnt um og afbyggja félagsmótun kyns og stigveldi þess
-Efla samstöðu og styðja við þolendur/varnarfólk sem vilja byrja eða halda áfram með bataferli.
– Auka þekkingu á mismunandi birtingarmyndum ofbeldis, m.a. til að auðveldara sé að koma auga á það, tala um það og berjast gegn því.
-Þróa einstaklingsbundnar og hópatengdar aðferðir sem eru skilvirkar í að koma í veg fyrir ofbeldi.
Áhugasöm eru hvött til að koma með boxhanska og púða/padda á líkamlegu æfingarnar. En það er ekki skilyrði.

OPEN TRAININGS IN FEMINIST SELF-DEFENSE AT THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
Friday 17th of january 2020, the first training of feminist self-defense will be held at the university sports hall at 19:00.
The sports hall is accessible for wheelchairs.
//MORE EXACT INFO ON ACCESSIBILITY COMING THURSDAY 16th OF JANUARY//
All women and trans people are welcome (you don’t have to be a student at the University).
Cisgendered men are asked to keep out.*
(*A cis gendered man is someone who identifies as a man, and was assigned male at birth).
ABOUT THE TRAININGS:
The feminist self-defense method which will be followed is called Seito Boei. It includes physical, verbal, psychological and emotional self-defense.
The training group will be meeting every friday.
There will be physical trainings at the sportshall every second friday. The other fridays the group meets in a safer space to train verbal, psychological and emotional self-defense.
SOME GOALS OF THESE FEMINIST SELF-DEFENSE TRAININGS:
Provide each other with more options to choose from when using self-defense, by sharing a diverse range of strategies successfully used by people in real life situations.
Support victims/survivors/defenders to overcome isolation after assault and begin to heal
Expand our notions of what “successful self-defense” is and help each other appreciate all of the ways we keep ourselves safe.
Keep braking the stigma + myths around sexual and gender based assault/abuse so that we can talk about it, take action, and overcome it.
Those interested are encouraged to bring along pads and boxing gloves to the physical trainings. But it is not an obligation.

Lunch and crafts is a new cyclic meeting program destined for everyone who would be interested in spending time with people while fulfilling themselves artistically. We will be hanging out every other Sunday at lunch time in Andrymi’s cosy room. It’s an occasion not only to do some crafts, but also to make new friends. Every meeting we will be focusing on different genre of art. If you have a creative mind, but you prefer to express it in a company of people, join us and let’s create together!
This week: knitting, embroidery etc. everything concerning yarn, wool, embroidery floss
If you have some tools and materials (old clothes, tshirts, caps etc. are also available), bring them, if not – we will share. If you would like to pursue any other genre of art, you are welcome to do that.
During meetings we will not only eat lunch and create together, it is also a chance for you to shine. If you would like to sing, read poetry or make out this time even more pleasant, you are welcome to come and use the space as a place of a free expression.
The goal is to destine products of our common work for future fundraising helping the cause of keeping Andrými alive and healthy. (But if you would like to make something only for yourself, that’s ok too!)
The meeting will take place on Sunday from 13:00/15:00 (approximately)
Accessibility The Andrými house has it limits regarding accessibility. We are willing to meet any requests about improving accessibility or assisting anyone that asks. There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door). The bathrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building). There is no bathroom on the ground floor. The event takes place on the first floor. Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.

Í rúmlega eitt og hálft ár hefur Stúdentaráð og No Borders Icelans andmælt aðkomu Háskóla Íslands að líkamsrannsóknum á fylgdarlausum hælisleitendum og börnum sem hingað koma í leit að betra lífi.
Afstaða SHÍ hefur hlotið stuðnings starfsfólks og doktorsnema við skólann samkvæmt undirskriftarlistum sem voru opinberir veturinn 2018. Þrátt fyrir háværar gagnrýnisraddir samdi Háskóli Íslands við Útlendingastofnun, í mars 2019, um framkvæmd aldursgreininga með tanngreiningum sem eru siðferðislega umdeildar og vísindalega ónákvæmar rannsóknir: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EPCykFUWoAEB6K1?format=png&name=medium
Samningurinn var til eins árs og fer því að líða að endurskoðun á stöðu HÍ í þessu máli. Háskólaráð mun fjalla um málið á fundi sínum í febrúar og efna SHÍ og No Borders til mótmæla gegn því að Háskóli Íslands framkvæmi þessar rannsóknir.
Landssamtök íslenskra stúdenta og European Student’s Union hafa tekið undir með afstöðu Stúdentaráðs í málinu og getur þú nú sýnt þinn stuðning í hádeginu þann 3. febrúar

For over a year and a half, the Student Council and No Borders Iceland have opposed tthe University of Iceland’s involvement in dental analysis on unaccompanied asylum seekers and children who come here in search for a better life.
The Student Council’s position has been supported by staff and doctoral students of UI as portrayed by signature lists that were made public during the winter of 2018. Despite heavy criticism, the University of Iceland made a deal with the Directorate of Immigration to perform analyzis with dental examination and x-rays that are morally controversial and scientifically inaccurate. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EPCykFUWoAEB6K1?format=png&name=medium
The agreement between UI and DI was for a period of one year. Therefore a review of the UI’s position in this matter is now in process. The University Council will discuss the matter at its February meeting. For that occasion SC and No Borders call for a joint meeting to protest the University of Iceland’s conduct of these studies.
The Icelandic Student Union and the European Student’s Union have agreed with the Student Council’s position on the matter and YOU can now show your support at noon on February 3rd.

Þrátt fyrir háværar gagnrýnisraddir samdi Háskóli Íslands við Útlendingastofnun, í mars 2019, um framkvæmd aldursgreininga með tanngreiningum sem eru siðferðislega umdeildar og vísindalega ónákvæmar rannsóknir:
