CARE activists protest against gender based violence in conflict.International Women’s Day marks its 100th anniversary on 8th March 2011. This amazing celebration highlights both the achievements of women around the world, and the continuing struggle for equality.
CARE is taking part in all sorts of activities; from joining the equality debate online to marching for equality. You can join in and celebrate by seeing Annie Lennox in concert, waving a placard, giving an opinion or watching a film.
Get involved!
On Saturday 5th March you can march for equality at Million Women Rise, a demonstration against violence against women in London. CARE campaigners will be out in force and we would love you to join us.
On Tuesday 8th March we have a whole day of exciting activities planned. We will be joining in solidarity with women across the globe at Join me on the Bridge, a march through London ending on the Millennium Footbridge. Then CARE campaigners will meet for lunch before a special International Women’s Day event on London’s Southbank.
CARE is also part of EQUALS, a partnership of leading charities brought together by Annie Lennox to celebrate the International Women’s Day centenary. The EQUALS coalition will be stepping up the call for a more equal world and prompting a big debate about what equality looks like today.
And there's more exciting plans that will need your input to be announced shortly!
We need your involvement on International Women’s Day. Whether you are able to join us for a whole day of activity and activism on 8th March, if you would like to attend one event, or join the big inequality debate, get involved and celebrate International Women’s Day with us!
