Women's Marching Feet Echo around the World
EGYPT

Egyptian women had professional actors stage a drama to illustrate the content of the letters sent to the IMF and the World Bank. The event, held at the Cairo Opera on October 6, 2000, also paid tribute to the Palestinian people's suffering and presented images of the Intifada. The Egyptian version of the World March of Women's song was sung.

The Iranian resistance and Iranian associations abroad marched in Brussels, Belgium, and in the United States in October, on behalf of the women of their country. The movement's delegate stressed that violence was encouraged by the law: "Stoning, beating, blinding and hanging women, along with other medieval cruel punishments, are official, routine government practices."

LEBANON

On September 24, 2000, Beirut hosted an important demonstration. Recognition of civil marriage in Lebanon was a major demand, despite the opposition of religious fundamentalists to any change in this matter. Women reiterated their support for the Palestinian people and denounced the "excessive violence" throughout the region that threatened peace.
