World March of Women: October 17

"On October 17, women in all time zones will successively take to the streets at noon to stage actions for one hour. This is how they will show their support for the blueprint for society depicted in the Women's Global Charter for Humanity.

In the Pacific Islands (New Caledonia, Samoa, etc.), the women of Asia will kick off the relay, followed by the women of Africa, then Europe and so on.

This call to action goes out to all women’s groups who belong to the World March of Women and to those who wish to join us. Let’s all act together on October 17 by organizing public events.

The watchword is to be simple, positive, in touch with one another, to show that, with our differences and similarities, women are united.

Groups in various regions of the world have begun to organize their activities. Some will rings bells and alarms in cities and villages to alert the population that women are mobilizing throughout the world to vigorously defend the values in the Charter. Others will organize vigils or actions during which women will form human chains of solidarity."
