Eliminate Poverty in All Stages of Life
The World March of Women determined six world demands to eliminate poverty on the planet.
The coordinating bodies of countries participating in the March took up these demands. In some countries they incorporated the world demands into a platform of national demands that included specific issues linked to the degree of economic development, the state of health and communications infrastructure, legislation, social programs, and so on.

Making ourselves heard to gain equal status with men (March in Peru). |
