In response to Robin
Morgan's book, Sisterhood is Global, the Sisterhood is Global Institute was founded in 1984 with Karen Berry as its first director. Its purpose was to
mobilize international support on women’s rights issues and educate various
communities around the world on women's rights and human rights
issues.
The records of the Sisterhood is Global
Institute (SIGI) span the years from 1965 to 2005, with the bulk of the
material ranging from 1980 to 2002. Materials such as correspondence,
administrative files, publications drafts, manuals, newsletters, flyers,
photographs, videos, and sound recordings provide a record of the work and the
organizational structure of SIGI from its inception to its present activities
at the beginning of the 21st century. The documents in the collection
illustrate SIGI's efforts to discuss, debate, and act on a variety of women's
issues around the world, including voting rights and political representation;
reproductive rights; violence against women; education for women; and the
socio-economic status of women.

Collection Overview
The records of the Sisterhood is Global Institute (SIGI) span the
years from 1965 to 2005, with the bulk of the material documenting the
Institute's activities and administration from 1980 to 2002. Through
correspondence, administrative files, subject files, drafts of publications,
newsletter, manuals, reports, photographs, videos, and sound recordings, the
collection provides an in-depth record of the work and the organizational
structure of SIGI from its inception in 1984 to its present activities at the
beginning of the 21st century, and documents its efforts to discuss, debate,
and act on a variety of women's issues around the world, including
voting rights and
political representation;
reproductive rights;
violence against women;
education for women; and the socio-economic
status of women. Subject files created by SIGI
researchers provide additional materials on
prostitution,
rape, the status of women in
developing countries and rural areas, the
legal status of women, and the concept of
human rights. In the 1990s particular emphasis was
paid to women's issues in
Muslim societies. Much of the Institute's role is an
educational one, as evidenced by the many folders of
manuals,
newsletters, news alerts, workshops, and
conferences on women's issues, including materials on two
U.N. World Conferences on Women. The collection
offers many documents relating to SIGI publications, including the book
Sisterhood is Global; and editions in various
languages of In Our Own Words,
Safe and Secure, and Claiming Our Rights. In addition to documenting SIGI's
activism on behalf of women, the collection also provides a record of the
Institute's organizational structure and functioning; although there is very
little from the earliest years, there are many records for the 1990s,
particularly for the years 1999-2002, during Greta Hofmann Nemiroff's tenure as
President. Other individuals whose active roles in the development of
Sisterhood is Global Institute are documented through correspondence and
writings include
Marilyn Waring,
Robin Morgan, and
Tatiana Mamonova. Many smaller files of
correspondence and writings from individual members offer a profile of SIGI's
international constituency drawn from over 70 countries.
One of the smallest folder groups, the Correspondence Series offers a sampling of routine
requests and expressions of interest from individuals writing to the Sisterhood
is Global Institute. Several folders house petitions and protest letters
initiated by SIGI. There is also a group of exchanges related to the
New Zealand "girlcott" organized in part by
Marilyn Waring, president of SIGI at the time.
The largest series in the collection, the Administrative Files Series is divided into five
subseries: Membership Files, Greta Hofmann Nemiroff, Financial Papers, Funding
Files, and Other Records. The series offers an extensive profile of SIGI’s
international constituency which in 2002 included members from over 70
countries worldwide. More extensive records are available for some eminent
international figures such as Robin Morgan and Tatyana Mamonova, as well as for
Marilyn Waring who acted as Executive Director of SIGI in New Zealand. The
files of Greta Hofmann Nemiroff, the Financial Files, and the Other Records
Subseries provide a record of the administrative management of SIGI’s
resources, with the most detailed records dating from the period between 1996
and 2002. The funding history of SIGI, together with the documentation of
grants and donors, is located in the Funding Files subseries, which also
contains correspondence and financial reports on SIGI’s core projects like the
Human Rights Education Program (HRE) and the
Project on Eliminating the Violence Against Women
(VAW).
The Project Files Series documents the
stages and implementation of the HRE Program and the development of new
projects, among which VAW, the Learning Partnership Projects, and the Building
Local Leaders Initiative. The HRE Program, a reflection of the continuous work
of SIGI on the issue of women’s human rights, is a series of 12 workshops whose
aim is to promote the concept of women’s rights in
Islamic cultures and provide women strategies and
networking skills for the assertion of these rights.
The series contains reports and correspondence with facilitators from nine
countries where these workshops have been conducted, as well as materials on
other countries considered for the extension of the project. Included in the
series is also a record of SIGI Urgent Action Alerts, a system of immediate
alerts and global calls for actions in response to discriminatory practices and
cases of abuse in different regions of the world.
The Publications Series contains drafts,
editions, and translations of workshop manuals, part of SIGI programs, as well
as records related to anthologies edited by SIGI members, such as the volumes
Muslim Women and the Politics of Participation and
Strategizing for Safety. A large portion of the
series is comprised of various translations of Claiming
Our Rights, a manual containing definitions and learning exercises
designed to illustrate the concept of women’s rights in different social
contexts and to stimulate discussions on the status of women in Muslim
societies. Other publications presented in the series include
Safe and Secure, a manual designed for SIGI
workshops on violence against women, and In Our Own
Words, a companion guide with strategies for workshop facilitators. The
series also contains all the issues of SIGI News,
a biannual newsletter covering SIGI’s activities and providing a venue for
announcements of different events.
The Conferences and Programs Series is
divided into SIGI and Other Events subseries and contains records of the
preparation and logistics for conferences organized by SIGI, as well as
materials from major international meetings on subjects related to women’s
rights. SIGI’s two conferences
"Religion, Culture,
and Women’s Rights in the Muslim World"
(1994) and
"Beijing and Beyond"
(1996) were specifically
organized in connection to the 4th World Conference on Women which took place
in Beijing, which is also covered in the series. Other SIGI conferences
extensively represented in the series include
"Rights
of Passage"
(1997) and the Expert Group Meeting on Eliminating Violence
against Girls and Women (1998) which evolved from the preparation for a
conference with the same title, initially scheduled to take place in Jordan.
Materials on the two World Conferences on Women, in Nairobi and Beijing, as
well as other global events such as the UN conference on human rights in 1993
and the World March of Women in 2000, is found in the Other Events
Subseries.
The Photographic Materials Series depicts
moments from conferences attended or organized by SIGI, visits, and some of the
workshops conducted by SIGI in different countries.
The Subject Files Series contains materials
collected by SIGI on a wide range of subjects related to women, from
reproductive rights and motherhood to the consequences of armed conflicts. A
large section of papers and studies in the series, mostly dating from the late
1980s and early 1990s, is devoted to the
socio-economic status of women and their situation
in developing countries and rural areas. Another large group of materials,
whose time range extends beyond the 1990s, reflects on SIGI’s development of
new projects, and the materials focus increasingly on the legal status of
women, the concept of women’s human rights, and the subject of
violence against women which includes extensive
collection of reports and article on
domestic violence,
prostitution,
rape, and
war crimes.
The Organizations Series contains
information gathered by SIGI staff about numerous international and regional
organizations and networks working in the sphere of women’s and human rights,
development, and law. Highlighted organizations include the
Association of Women in Development, the
Canadian Council for Refugees,
Equality Now,
Feminist Majority,
Isis International, the
International Women's Health Coalition, the
National Council for Research on Women, the
Women's Environment and Development Organization,
and the
United Nations. There is some correspondence with
former First Lady Hilary Clinton.
Like the Subject Files Series, the Geographic
Files Series also functions as a vertical file created by SIGI staff for
internal use, containing informative articles, clippings, reports, many
newsletters, and other materials on women's issues in over 100 countries from
Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Countries with the most materials are
Pakistan,
Phillippines, and
Malaysia.
The Audiovisual Materials Series contains
over 20 videocassettes and audio recordings of SIGI events or programs
originating in other countries. Topics and events include a forum on "feminist
family values," conferences on women's issues, women's rights in Muslim
societies, domestic violence, politics and power in the Phillippines and in
other countries, and educational programming on money and job training. Use
copies are available for most of these items; otherwise Technical Services
staff will need to arrange to have use copies made. Please contact reference
staff before coming to use this series.
Finally, the boxes in the Memorabilia
Series house several large and small protest banners.
The collection includes some financial records, webpage content, and
translations of published material in electronic form, found listed in the
Electronic Formats Series under the appropriate
series. The documents are maintained on the Special Collections server. Consult
a reference archivist for access to them.
Addition (2009-0070) (5850 items; 7.8 lin. ft.; dated 1985-2003) contains administrative records and correspondence, financial reports and documents, legal documents, membership information, annual reports, and publicity files. Also included are 20 cassette tapes recording the Sisterhood is Global Strategy Meeting (1984), founding the Institute, and 11 floppy discs that have been transferred to Duke's Electronic Records server. This addition has not been processed; materials have been reboxed but not incorporated into the remainder of the collection. Please see a reference archivist if you have questions.

Administrative Files Series, 1975-2004 and undated
49 boxes
The Administrative Files Series is
divided into five subseries: Membership Files
Subseries, Greta Hofmann Nemiroff Subseries,
Financial Papers Subseries, Financial Papers Subseries, and Other
Records Subseries which are described below. The series contains a wide
range of organizational records, predominantly personnel files and
correspondence with members, financial records, annual reports and meeting
minutes, and documentation on grants, projects, and donors. The materials
represent best the period when SIGI was based in Maryland and Canada, the 1990s
and onward, while records from SIGI's inception in New York and the years in
New Zealand are sparse.
Membership Files Subseries, 1975-2001 and undated
7 boxes
Contains correspondence, biographies of current and former
members, membership forms, and published work and articles about members or
their work. Includes more extensive material on international feminists and
prominent SIGI members such as Tatyana Mamonova, Robin Morgan, and Marilyn
Waring. The series provides a close view of SIGI’s inner structure,
constituency, and growth through the 1990s. Organized alphabetically by
category, then by last name.

Annual reports, accounting documentation, tax records, external
audit reports, and other records of SIGI's financial transactions. The
documents include bills, receipts, ledgers, and account books. Highlights of
the subseries include the annual reports, which provide summaries of SIGI’s
activities and ongoing projects such as Human Rights Education (HRE), Violence
against Women (VAW), and the Knowledge Partnership Program (KPP).
Miscellaneous, unsorted documents are filed under
"Routine transactions,"
and can include records of
administrative expenses, reimbursement, and invoices.
Organized chronologically by year, then alphabetically by
category within each year. Documentation from 2002 onward is sparse. Some
folders contain data from preceding or subsequent years; this is indicated by
the date span following the folder title. (Five electronic disks originally
located in the records from 1996 and 1999 can now be found in the Electronic
Formats Series.)

Funding Files Subseries, 1984-2002 and undated
The general administrative section in the series contains
documents on the funding history of SIGI, together with correspondence, lists
of potential sources, and guides on funding and proposal writing. Some
correspondence and official statements date back to the founding and early
history of SIGI in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The rest of the series
contains project proposals submitted by SIGI and a large amount of brochures
and print material related to individual foundations. Extensive documentation
with correspondence and grant reports is available for major SIGI donors such
as the Global Fund for Women, the Institute for the Study of Natural and
Cultural Resources, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, National
Endowment for Democracy, The Shaler Adams Foundation, and UNIFEM. The subseries
is organized alphabetically by name of organization, then chronologically.

Project Files Series, 1990-2003 and undated
13 boxes
The series is arranged in two subseries, HRE (Human Rights Education), a major SIGI program, and
Other Projects, both of which are further divided
into groups. The series contains correspondence with field coordinators,
financial records, narrative reports with detailed descriptions of workshop
sessions, evaluations, photographs from sessions and meetings, as well as
newspaper articles reporting on SIGI's projects in different countries.
Material pertaining to SIGI/Jordan, an affiliate center in Amman established to
provide computer training and resources on women's rights, can be found in the
groups of folders related to Jordan in both subsersies. A large number of
workshop evaluations and some of the newspaper clippings are in Arabic. The
bulk of the series is organized by geographic location, then by name of SIGI
coordinator or project partner.
HRE Subseries, 1990s-2001 and undated
The HRE Subseries contains primarily
administrative materials (correspondence, contracts and other financial
documents, reports, and evaluations) from the late 1990s that pertain to SIGI’s
major core program, the Human Rights Education Project, a series of 12
workshops aimed at empowering women in Muslim societies to define and reclaim
their human rights. Countries most frequently represented in the subseries
include Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Syria, and Uzbekistan. There is also
extensive material from Jordan and Lebanon, where the HRE Project, in
cooperation with the Learning and Partnership Project, incorporated computer
and office training. Materials from Jordan and Lebanon are accompanied by a
large number of photographs. Finally, there are documents related to SIGI’s HRE
radio projects. (Please note that eight audiocassettes originally located
together with HRE ratio projects materials can now be found in the
Audiovisual Materials Series.)
The subseries is organized alphabetically by country or region;
materials within each group are in original alphabetical order. At the end of
each country/region group, there are materials related to the more recent
extension of the HRE Project,
"Expanding HRE,"
as well as HRE
Reports that were originally filed together.

areas of the world. This last group of materials also includes notes and the
final essay,
"Of Fish and Women"
by Lise

Contains administrative records most of SIGI publications, chiefly
copyright documentation and distribution lists, as well as drafts,
translations, and published versions for each individual publication. Also
included are translation contracts and occasional correspondence with editors
and translators. SIGI manual, Claiming Our Rights,
with its translations, constitutes the largest group in the series. Numerous
drafts and translations are also available for In Our Own
Words and Safe and Secure. The series
contains 14 issues and the edited proofs of SIGI
News. Records related to Muslim Women and the
Politics of Participation, Sisterhood Is Global
Book, and Strategizing on Safety are
sparse. No materials related to Faith and Freedom:
Women's Human Rights in the Muslim World are available in the
series.
Organized alphabetically by subject and publication, then
alphabetically within, except for SIGI News, which
is organized chronologically by year and issue. A large amount of documents are
translations into Arabic, Azeri, Bangla, French, Hindi, Malay, Persian (Farsi),
Russian, Urdu, and Uzbek. (Electronic disks 014-056, mostly translations and
drafts, have been removed from the series.)

SIGI Subseries, 1994-2003
The SIGI Subseries contains
administrative information, conference packages, publicity materials, and
correspondence with organizations and individual participants in public events
organized or co-hosted by SIGI. Major SIGI conferences include:
"Religion, Culture, and Women’s Human Rights in the
Muslim World"
(1994),
"Beijing and
Beyond"
(1996), and
"Rights of Passage"
(1997). The SIGI group also contains announcements for
"Peace Café,"
a series of panels on women’s
roles in armed conflicts and peace-building. The conference
"Eliminating Violence against Women in Muslim
Societies,"
initially scheduled by SIGI for Sept. 1998, was cancelled and
modified into the Expert Group Meeting held in Oct. 1998. The subseries is
organized chronologically by year and month, then alphabetically by name of
event.

Contains materials relating to women’s rights and socio-economic
conditions in numerous countries and regions around the world. Materials
include articles from newspapers and magazines, published statements,
pamphlets, magazines, symposia reports, and government-published reports on
women and women’s rights within particular countries. There are a large number
of newsletters in this series, many self-published by local women’s groups, as
well as some e-mails and other correspondence. Topics concern women’s rights,
abortion rights, reproductive health, rape and violence against women and
girls, notable women in politics, prostitution and sex tourism, women and the
Israel/Palestine peace conflict, women and the family, and women in the
workforce. Highlights of the series are campaign materials and personal
correspondence for Paula DiPerna (United States), and an unpublished manuscript
of a book commemorating the Montreal massacres of 1989 (Canada).
The folders are organized alphabetically by country, continent, or
region; materials within are in original order, which is sometimes
chronological. In some instances there are folders for both continents and
countries (for example, there are folders for Africa as well as Zimbabwe).
Countries most represented are Pakistan, the Philippines, and Malaysia. The
majority of the materials in the series is in English, with some exceptions
written in the language of the country. There are a significant number of items
in this series, mainly newspapers, that have been re-housed in Oversize
Materials.
