Up to 2,500 marched against war on Iraq on International Women's Day (8 March) in Aberdeen. The protest, organised by the "Aberdeen Coalition for Justice not War", was attended by a wide range of people from political, religious, campaigning and trade union groups, as well as concerned individuals.

Saturday's Demonstration has been the largest yet in the City and Coalition Chair, Emma Morrison, urged those attending to respond to Tony Benn's call for Direct Action in the event of War.

Protesters, who included a large number of school, college and university students as well as pensioners and trade unionists, were urged to take the anti-war message into workplaces, colleges, streets and schools, and to attend a co-ordinated city-centre protest from 5pm on the evening following an attack on Iraq.

if it is so feminist- why can't the women speak for themselves? Can't action of women be posted by women?
Or what is the connection to International Women's Day then?
Men, do no longer speak for us!
