From GCM member, the Women & Global Migration Working Group (WGMWG)…
———————
Your organization is invited to join the call for a march on International Women’s Day, 8 March 2013, “For a Life Free from Violence Against Women and Girls“, addressing the theme of the 57th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW57) taking place at the United Nations, in New York. We call on governments to:
- Take concrete steps to end impunity;
- Fund gender equality and human rights instead of militarism; and
- Protect women human rights defenders.
This event is co-organized by the Women & Global Migration Working Group (WGMWG), part of the Global Coalition on Migration (GCM). It is an opportunity to lift up concerns regarding migrant women at International Women’s Day activities globally.
Marches will be taking place in New York and around the world. You can join us in New York City on Friday, March 8, 10:00am, First Ave. and 42nd St or organize your own local event. Please see below for details in English, Spanish and French. To endorse the global action, contact Natalia Cardona by February 28: ncardona@awid.org. Thank you!
