Solidarity action with indigenous women in Quebec
On this 4th October, the World
March of Women National Coordination in Quebec (CQMMF) and the Quebec
Native Women (FAQ) are organizing an international day of solidarity
to honour the memory of missing and murdered indigenous women and
call for a national inquiry about this matter.
They require
support of women around the world and especially WMW activists to
show solidarity with them asking two things:

part of a photo campaign on social media

you will find a video clip that explains why women of Quebec and
Canada are mobilizing and invites women around the world to mobilize
in solidarity with them!
In 2015, we, the women of the World
March of Women, take back the streets to demand justice. We will be
thousands to march in cities and towns across Quebec and the world in
a broad popular feminist movement. We will increase our resistance in
face of the control over our bodies and our lands by capitalism,
patriarchy and colonialism.
We will be on the March, untill
all women are free!
