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.

During this event feel free to bring your bike to fix it! You can also put your energy into repairing one of the several bikes given to Andrymi (in the garden shed), or simply just bring your skills for the benefit of thoses who don’t have your science !
Accessibility in Andrými :
The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately, but it is our top priority to make it so.
Access to the House
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.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral, there are name tags and pronoun buttons by the entrance.
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.

SHÍ og Stúdentahreyfing No Borders Iceland kalla til mótmæla gegn tanngreiningum mánudaginn 3. febrúar á Háskólatorgi!
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
–English–
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.
Everyone is welcome! You don’t need any previous experience or special skills to join the class, but spots are limited though: if you want to be sure you will have a place to practice, contact me before and come on time!
I don’t provide yoga mats! If you don’t have any, let me know a day in advance.
Accessibility of Andrými: 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).

UM ÆFIGNARNAR:
Femíníska sjálfsvörnin sem verður æfð er í anda Seito Boei aðferðarinnar og felur í sér líkamlega, 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.

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:

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.
Stúdentaráð skoraði síðast á háskólaráð til að hætta aldursgreiningum á fylgdarlausum börnum þann 30. nóvember 2019.

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.

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 Student Council last challenged the University Council to end age diagnoses for unaccompanied children on November 30, 2019.
