On March 8th, women, children and men from all over the world are set to make history by joining together on Bridges to mark the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. In Santa Cruz, we will be meeting at the Water Street Bridge at 5pm. We will be calling for an end of violence against women and bringing awareness to current issues that face women.
The global campaign is being organised by Women for Women International www.womenforwomen.org; (a charity that helps women in areas of conflict to rebuild their lives.) The concept is simple; women, men and children whether it’s 3, 300, 3000 or more can join together on a bridge near them and hold up banners celebrating International Women’s Day. This will be followed by guest speakers and live music. For more information visit the Women for Women International website.
