Million Women Rise
Million Women Rise is a
coalition of individual women and representatives from the
Women's Voluntary and Community Sector who have come
together to organise an annual national demonstration
against male violence which coincides with International
Women's Day in March each year.
On the demonstration, we celebrate and honour women's
activism, courage and achievements and continued struggle
against global male violence in all its forms. Million
Women Rise is an expression of women's continued resistance
and struggle against global male violence. The first
demonstration in 2008 saw 5000 women and children take to
the streets of London. It was the largest, recent
demonstration of women in UK history and the most diverse
demonstration many of us had ever attended. Because male
violence continues, so too does Million Women Rise and
women and children marched again in 2009 and 2010.
MWR will rise again on Saturday 5th March 2011 in Central London. This year we marked the 100th anniversary of the declaration of International Women's Day and next year is the 100th anniversary of the first celebrations taking place in 1911. So join us again for this important event.
We will also have our after march celebration at 52 Club, 52 Gower Street in the evening following the march. We are recruiting now for stewards, performers and help with the after party. If you can help, phone 07727 419634 or email info@millionwomenrise.com
