May: actions worldwide

May 3, 2000
■ ■ ■

Montreal, May 3, 2000 - The World March of Women began on March 8*. It consists of a multitude of national and regional activities all over the planet. Its crowning point will be a rally on October 17 in New York where women will proclaim their "2000 good reasons to march." The World March of Women is demanding from the UN and its member States concrete measures to:

  • eliminate poverty and ensure an equitable distribution of wealth between rich and poor, between men and women;
  • eliminate violence against women and ensure equality between women and men.
At the present time, some 4200 groups are participating in the World March of Women in 153 countries, of which 90 have national coordinating bodies. Between now and October, women will mobilize to collect over 10 million signatures in support of the world demands.

Every month we will update you on the latest actions staged by the participating groups. You will find the calendar of events for May below. We are at your disposal to provide you with more detailed information on the actions and the demands, and to tell you how to contact local organizers.
