On the following day, October 18, representatives of 100 countries gathered to conduct preliminary evaluation of the March.
Several months later, a representative from Mexico appreciated "the unified position of the March's political delegation" that "boded well for the continuation of this movement to demand the transformation of global economic policy."
The actions, however, did not elicit the response women had hoped for. Politicians and the most important news organizations around the world did not show much interest in women's problems.
This is why the action - or rather actions - are continuing. In October 2001, many groups organized demonstrations against war, intolerance and armed intervention.
