On the Road Toward 25 Years of the World March of Women

Return to news

In its Declaration following the 13th International Meeting of the World March of Women, held in Turkey from October 6 to 12, 2023, participants celebrated the Movement’s memory. It began with the March of Bread and Roses and the rallying cry: “Bread to eradicate women’s hunger, and roses so that, in their lives, they can rest and be happy.”

While welcoming young people and new territories to the Movement, the participants reaffirmed the need to use the streets to express themselves and prepare for the 25th anniversary celebration and for the next 25 years. They intend to continue the “process of permanent political training and feminist and popular communication”.

World tour of feminist resistance

To this end, a series of five webinars are being organized to simultaneously raise awareness of the distinct realities of each territory. At the 2nd meeting, scheduled for February 21 at noon, two feminist activists from different regions of Africa will address the subject of food sovereignty from a number of angles: production, consumption, access to seeds, and so on. The meeting will also serve to present solutions and make links with feminist economics.

Full details of the event can be found on the Facebook page of the Coordination du Québec de la Marche mondiale des femmes (CQMMF).
