The women's movement, for example, includes liberal, radical and Marxist feminists, ecofeminists, lesbian separatists, and those who view lesbianism as one lifestyle among others; although these groupings debate vigorously on a number of issues, they do agree on the basic need to improve the situation of women.
The women's movement has been effective in organizing action on particular issues using a multitude of means and involving a coalition of groups and individuals.

The Chadian delegation held Khalil Ibrahim, chief of the Justice and Equality Movement, responsible for the stumbling negotiations, stressing that Chad is participating the talks by decision of the five-nation African summit on Darfur which convened in Libya earlier.

 Family Synergy - Article, Sexual Equality
Sexual equality exists when males and females are equally valued as human beings by the members of both sexes.
Culturally, sexual equality may be judged by the extent to which males and females are equal under the law and show mutual respect for each other's right to self actualization.
However, basically sexual equality is a personal inner feeling, characterized by a person's feeling whole inside himself or herself and treating others as his or her equal.

 From Isolation to Justice   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Thus, the degree to which the LGBT movement is directed by collective input and an open process of decision making is the crucial measure of its commitment to social justice.
These means define not only the movement's ethics but also determine who is invested in the movement, who it speaks to, who leaves, and ultimately who is left behind.
It is time for our movement to resist isolation and act in a larger social justice community, where many LGBT people live and where the next generation will thrive.

The Justice and Equality Movement's proposals went further than plans presented earlier in the week by the government.
Justice and Equality Movement spokesman Ahmed Hussain Adam said his group's proposals concentrated "on the real issues: the political marginalization, the economic marginalization and the social marginalization" of ethnic groups from Darfur.
He said the government's proposals for transferring powers to Darfur's three states — including their own elected parliaments — were "empty statements." He called for Darfur's ethnic groups to be represented in Sudan's presidency, and for the restructuring of the army and the civil service to include more people from Darfur and other regions.

 Foreign Dispatches: When in Doubt, Blame Israel
The Sudanese Foreign Minister has accused the leaders of the Justice and Equality Movement, one of the main rebel factions in Darfur, of "making regular visits to Israel." Both the JEM and Israel deny the accusation, and its timing is, to say the least, suspicious.
That Israel may indeed be offering assistance to the Justice and Equality Movement cannot be ruled out a priori, as Jonathan notes, but I think he goes too far in lamenting the possible dire consequences of Israeli involvement.
If the JEM has accepted help from Israel, the very act of reaching out to Israel will make it a pariah in the eyes of many Arabs who might otherwise support it.

 My job is to remind people of the global problem
My claim, here, is only that this movement must find new ways to stand for equity, and that one particularly promising approach, based on asserting equal claims to limited “environmental spaces,” has received too little attention.
Today, most any environmentalist who claims to be a friend of justice sees it as a suspect device, one by which the rich countries of the world, under the guise of “efficiency,” are trying to establish a carbon-stabilization regime in which they’ll be able to avoid emission cutbacks by buying emissions rights from the poor.
If it is, and if environmental justice aids it in that comeback, well, then we’ll finally learn what we should have known all along, that the politics of ecology aren’t so very different after all.
