TRALEE WOMEN’s RESOURCE CENTRE NEW WEBSITE.
TWRC has asked us to inform everyone of their new website at www.twrc.ie
For any women that are Deaf or hard of hearing, TWRC can be contacted by
text at 087 173 9945.
As were looking through their website- we came across a video clip of Carmel
Grehan giving a lecture to the Irish Deaf Women’s Group on the 16th of
April. The link is available at http://www.twrc.ie/community.html
In her piece, Carmel Grehan talks about her research into the development of
Irish sign language in schools. She makes reference to gendered sign
variation and the loss of signs that women used. She also talks about the
policy of segregation among deaf children and the decision not to educate
them through sign language, which was a retrograde step and resulted in
poorer school results.
SPAM E-MAILS AND HACKED ONLINE ACCOUNTS.
Phishing (pronounced “fishing”) is a type of online identity theft. It uses
email and fraudulent websites that are designed to steal your personal data
or information such as credit card numbers, passwords, account data, or
other information.
Con artists send millions of fraudulent email messages with links to
fraudulent websites that appear to come from websites you trust, Facebook,
your Bank or credit card company, and request that you provide personal
information. Criminals can use this information for many different types of
fraud, to steal money from your account, to open new accounts in your name,
or to obtain official documents using your identity.
