MILLION WOMEN RISE 2012
THIS YEAR’S GATHERING IS DEDICATED TO THE GIRL CHILD
All women march against male violence in all its forms.
Join us in raising International Women’s Day 2012, celebrating our strength, resilience and courage together.
Meet at 12 noon in Orchard Street, London W1 (outside Selfridges Food Hall)
The Million Women Rise (MWR) Coalition is a diverse group of individual women and women representatives from the Voluntary and Community Sector who are united by our outrage at the continued daily, hourly, minute-by-minute individual and institutionalised male violence enacted against women worldwide.
We believe that every woman and child has a right to live free from violence and that ongoing violence devastates not only the lives of the individuals directly affected but also the communities of which they are part. We have come together to organise a International demonstration against violence against women.
