Preparations For International Women's Day Under Way In London

m8 | 06.01.2004 17:00 | Gender | London

To prepare for March 8th 2004 (International Women's Day) in London a group of people have put together some basic infrastructure to help get things going.

A website ( http://www.enrager.net/m8) and discussion list have been set up. Please join the discussion list (see bottom of text) if you want to get involved in planning or are interested in any way.

Ideas which we have had so far which could be involved:

* Childcare
* Street Harassment ('Reclaim The Night' actions?)
* Fair Wages
* Sex Workers
* Domestic Violence
* Rape Awareness
* Women's Health/alternative medicine
* Sweat Shop Labour

But we need more ideas and people with time and effort to get this off the ground! We envisage events which run over a series of days comprised of awareness raising and actions.

We are planning to hold a meeting soon at a central london location so keep your eyes peeled for more information!

Good to see this. I've attended the events over the last few years, and while they have been beautiful I've always caught myself wondering why they aren't bigger? I mean there's enough to complain about and enough to demand, as well as so many women who say they believe that more change is required. Last year was better, but really benefited from the anti-war vibe giong around.

Best of luck for 2004!
