>This project arises from the unseemly juxtaposition of a "war on terror"
>with the every day realities faced by women living in cultures that
>enforce female circumcision, do not give equal value for equal work based
>on cultural bias, tacitly accept violent domestic situations, use sexual
>intimidation as a military tactic and fear of reprisal as a cultural
>control.
>
>The name, gender[f], designates a programmatic function. The function ­
>gender ­ holds an unlimited, presently undefined array ­ [f] ­ the
>identities, issues and/or representations of women in society.

>This work is dedicated to the the over 400 murdered and disappeared women
>of Juarez who worked in the maquiladoras of Juarez.
